Park Jimin Reveals on Knowing Bros: "Zero Payment for 'Bloody Game 2'... Filming in Bali Also Unpaid"

MBC announcer Park Ji-min revealed that her appearance fee for ’Blood Game 2’ was zero. On the 8th, Park Ji-min appeared on JTBC’s ’Knowing Bros’ alongside Hong Jin-ho, Heo Seong-beom, and Choi Yeon-cheong. They had previously been active in the Wavve variety show ’Blood GameX.’ Park Ji-min said, ″I’m an MBC employee, so variety shows still intimidate me. This is the first time I’ve come to another broadcasting station in my life.″ When asked, ″Is it okay for a current employee to appear here?″ she replied, ″I got permission and did some behind-the-scenes work with my manager. Since ’Blood Game’ is produced by MBC, I got permission with difficulty. If I had appeared without permission, I would have immediately declared myself a freelancer.″ When asked about the appearance fee for the ’Blood Game’ series, Park Ji-min explained, ″If an announcer from our company appears on an MBC-produced program, they only receive a few ten thousand won.″ She continued, ″’Blood Game 2’ was produced by MBC and was not broadcast on TV but released only on OTT. Since OTT emerged separately, there was no regulation for it. So I didn’t receive any payment at all.″ She emphasized that although filming took place in Bali, her appearance fee was zero. Regarding appearance fees for other companies’ variety shows, she said, ″In the case of ’Knowing Bros,’ I receive the full appearance fee.″ Park Ji-min added, ″That’s why I even put on false eyelashes today.″ During the broadcast, Lee Sang-min, who also appeared on ’Blood GameX,’ was mentioned. Park Ji-min said, ″Sang-min asked us to appear. Twenty people appeared, and among them, the most active, outstanding, and eye-catching friends were selected. I was on the same team as Sang-min, so I received a lot of help.″ When it was said that Lee Sang-min was active, the members cast doubtful looks, and Seo Jang-hoon said, ″He’s number one at being bad at games here.″ Heo Seong-beom said, ″Our Tikitaka shorts on Yeongodae exceeded 10 million views,″ and shared an anecdote related to a memory game at a café.
