[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Singer Kim Wooseok revealed that he paid off his parents' debt after receiving his first settlement payment.

On the 15th, the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star' aired a special episode titled 'Hey! You Can Do It Too,' featuring actor Chae Jung-an, singer K.Will, Kim Wooseok, and comedian Park Sung-ho as guests.

That day, Kim Wooseok confessed, "While promoting with UP10TION, I never received any settlement payments, but after debuting with X1, I received my first settlement in five years."

He continued, "I wanted to flex with my first settlement money, but due to COVID-19, I couldn't go out much, so I used a delivery app at home. I like seafood, and the blowfish set was the most expensive. The single-person set was about 128,000 won. I ordered two servings and ate it. That was the best flex I did after getting my settlement," he said.

Kim Wooseok also said, "During the five years of training, my parents helped me a lot. After receiving the settlement, I paid off my parents' debt. It was about 100 million won, and I paid it all off," surprising those around him.

Regarding why he is called the man with two faces, Kim Wooseok said, "The image of my left and right sides of the face is different," and posed to show off his unparalleled visuals.

He also revealed that his original dream was to become a barista, attracting attention. He honestly said, "I thought professional skills should be learned early. I thought selling drinks would be the most profitable."

He shared a detailed plan, saying, "After finishing military service, I planned to work part-time, open a cafe around age 32, and start a franchise by age 40," showing his meticulous nature.

Kim Wooseok also expressed his hope to appear in alcohol advertisements. He acted out a scene he imagined for such an ad, saying, "I drink nine large cans of beer and more than four bottles of soju."

Seeing this, Chae Jung-an said, "I'm the only woman here, but I didn't expect Kim Wooseok to outshine me in looks," causing laughter.
