Comedian Heo Kyung-hwan denied the 'chaebol rumors'.
Heo Kyung-hwan showcased his wit on the YouTube channel 'Jo Dongari', which was released on the 13th.
Regarding Heo Kyung-hwan, who runs a chicken breast business, Ji Seok-jin said, "He has succeeded economically, right?" To this, Kim Soo-yong replied, "It's incredible. He has a huge amount of cash in his bank account."
Kim Yong-man also added, "There are even talks that he surpasses Jeong Seok-yong now," to which Heo Kyung-hwan waved his hands and said, "What are you talking about? No way."
In response to the claim that "annual sales exceed 10 billion won," Heo Kyung-hwan clarified, "I am really just an employee. I have shares, but I need to sell them to have my money; right now, it's nothing."
Heo Kyung-hwan explained the reason for starting his business, saying, "I thought I wouldn't be able to be a comedian for long," and added, "I was always taking off my clothes on stage while others were having meetings, I was going to the gym instead." He continued, "During that time of contemplation, I was boiling chicken breasts," and explained, "When I looked online for business ideas, I found that there were almost no related companies. That's how I started the chicken breast business."
Heo Kyung-hwan operates a chicken breast and chicken specialty shopping mall called 'Heo Dak'. Founded in 2010, Heo Dak signed a 100 billion won M&A deal with 'Freshige', the number one meal kit company in Korea, in January 2022, and is strengthening synergies by forming alliances with leading companies in the food market. Heo Dak has been awarded the number one spot in the Korean Consumer Satisfaction Index for food (chicken breast) for nine consecutive years (2017-2025).
