Former KBS announcer Kim Sun-geun confessed that he had incurred approximately 89 million won in debt due to investment failures and was struggling with financial hardship.

On the episode of KBS 1TV's "Morning Square" broadcast on the 19th, the couple Kim Sun-geun and Lee Yun-mi appeared to share various stories about their married life and recent updates.

That day, Kim Sun-geun explained the reason for leaving KBS, where he had worked for 10 years, saying, "I made a large investment because I wanted to live better, but it failed. I ended up quitting my job due to financial difficulties."

However, life after his resignation was not easy. His wife, Lee Yun-mi, recalled, "My husband had no work for three months after he quit his job."

Kim Sun-geun said, "My wife held things together. My credit card debt also increased significantly during that time. It gradually grew until it reached nearly 89 million won," adding, "I had to survive, so I even sold my children's first birthday rings."

He stated that he did not shy away from various part-time jobs to support his family's livelihood. Kim Sun-geun said, "During the day, whether it was broadcasting or events, I never knew when work would come in, so at night I did whatever work came my way," adding, "I did everything from putting up banners to deliveries, working at logistics centers, and delivering laundry."

He continued, "It was fine that my body was tired. It was something I chose and decided on myself," while also recalling, "When I delivered laundry in the pre-dawn hours, security guards often cursed at me harshly because they found it annoying. From their perspective, I understood why they did so."

There were also terrifying moments. Kim Sun-geun revealed his grueling life, saying, "I would finish work around 5 a.m., and on my way back home, I once nearly fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into the median barrier."

Hearing this, his wife Lee Yun-mi shed tears. She said, "At first, I didn't know that my husband was going out to do such work. He is a person who usually doesn't go to drinking parties and has no appointments, but he started saying he had appointments too often, so after two or three weeks passed, it became suspicious."

She continued, "Only then did my husband tell me that he was doing such work. I felt both very grateful and sorry," shedding tears and evoking sympathy.
