Jo Kwon of K-pop boy group 2AM revealed that his first paycheck, which he received three years after debuting, was so small that it brought him to tears. The YouTube channel 'Studiomaeil' uploaded a video on July 4 showing Seo Eunkwang of K-pop boy group BTOB visiting Jo Kwon's apartment in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Seo Eunkwang was impressed by the beautiful view from Jo Kwon's apartment when he stepped into it.
"Isn't this a proof of success? Only successful people live in high-rise apartments with views of forests and rivers!", he exclaimed, making Jo Kwon laugh. During their conversation, Jo Kwon mentioned that it has been 16 years since he debuted. "What is it like to see hoobae artists?", Seo Eunkwang asked.
Jo Kwon replied, "Whenever I see them, I think about how they are just starting. They would feel excited and joyful about everything they are experiencing. But watching them after going through all that myself, I can't help but think, 'Ah, you guys are just getting started.
..'.
" He added, "If I were to go back, I don't think I could do all that all over again. It was way too hard." When Seo Eunkwang asked, "Which period was more challenging for you, your trainee days or after your debut?", Jo Kwon replied, "Trainee days, of course, since I had less money during that time.
" "There was nothing I could do. When you make money, you can have a delicious meal. It gives you more freedom to do things you want to do.
But you don't have money in trainee days.", Jo Kwo.
