[Asia Economy, Intern Reporter Min Junyoung] Comedian Kim Minkyoung revealed her monthly income, saying, "Even if I spend over 100,000 won on food every day, it doesn't feel burdensome."

On the July 13 broadcast of KBS Cool FM's "Park Myungsoo's Radio Show," Kim Minkyoung appeared as a guest.

During the show, host Park Myungsoo introduced Kim Minkyoung by saying, "Kim Minkyoung, who has discovered her hidden Taereung DNA and is now enjoying her prime as a 'geunsujeo' (naturally strong person), has joined us today."

Kim Minkyoung responded, "The first thing Myungsoo said to me today was, 'I'll make you a star.' When I got the invitation to appear on 'Radio Show,' I realized, 'I must really be popular these days.' It feels like this is my first prime time. In the past, people would often confuse me with Lee Gukju or Hong Yunhwa when I walked down the street, but now people recognize me as Kim Minkyoung."

When Park Myungsoo asked, "Then how can people distinguish between Lee Gukju, Hong Yunhwa, and Kim Minkyoung?" Kim Minkyoung replied, "Lee Gukju is full of energy, Hong Yunhwa is cute, and I am on the feminine side."

Kim Minkyoung continued, "Recently, I even shot a cosmetics commercial. I feel like my life is changing thanks to working out. I think I should have started exercising much earlier. In the past, my daily routine was eating at home, meeting friends to eat again, and drinking. But now, thanks to exercise, I feel like I've regained my health."

She also explained the filming style of the variety show "Delicious Guys," in which she appears, saying, "We film twice a week. Usually, we eat two meals during filming. If we only eat the first meal, someone will say, 'Let's go out for dinner.' But if all four of us eat both meals, we don't suggest going out afterward."

She added, "We take naps in the middle of filming and then continue shooting. It's been about five years since I started filming this show. I'm really happy. Sometimes it's tough because I eat without thinking, but a good night's sleep helps me recover," she said, making everyone laugh.

She then mentioned the recently ended "Gag Concert," saying, "I'm very sad. 'Gag Concert' is the place that made me who I am, and everyone there is like family. It breaks my heart that the stage is gone, and I'm worried about the friends I worked with there, especially since they're struggling due to COVID-19."

Finally, when asked about her monthly income, she said, "In the past, if my meal cost went over tens of thousands of won, I would stop eating because of the price. If I spent too much, it felt burdensome. Now, even if I spend more than 100,000 won a day on food, it doesn't feel burdensome. But if it goes over 200,000 won, I do get a bit nervous."

To this, Park Myungsoo joked, "Let's say 180,000 won is fine, so that means you can spend about 5.4 million won a month on food," making everyone laugh.
