Lim Chae-moo, the representative of Duriland and an actor, has drawn attention by revealing that he earned 100 million won a month during his peak and gifted a house to each employee who worked for three years.
The KBS2 entertainment program ‘Boss's Ears are Donkeys’ (hereafter ‘Donkeys’) airing on the 20th will feature Lim Chae-moo, the representative of Duriland, who has become a hot topic in the community with Park Myung-soo's ‘Walking to the Boss's House’. Lim Chae-moo, who has become the ‘icon of children’ and the ‘icon of debt’, will reveal everything about the operation of Duriland.
Previously, Lim Chae-moo surprised everyone by stating that during his peak popularity as the lead in the drama ‘The Truth of Love’, he earned 100 million won a day. He said, “Gifts piled up in front of my house, so the door wouldn’t open every morning,” and added, “At that time, I was running around Yeongdeungpo, Cheonho-dong, Incheon, and Suwon after filming.” He revealed that when apartments in Dongbu Ichon-dong were 8 million won, he earned 100 million a month and released 24 albums, earning the title of the original ‘Teto-nam’ (a term for a handsome man).
Lim Chae-moo stated, “At that time, 95% of the employees in our company did not own a house. So I said, ‘If you work for our company for three years, I will buy you a house.’ But now, it has come to the point where they have to pay to work here,” he laughed.
Meanwhile, Lim Chae-moo caught attention by revealing his beautiful wife who works with him at Duriland. He shared, “I decided to remarry after dyeing my hair alone,” revealing the story of finding love again after losing his first wife. Lim Chae-moo said, “We had kimbap together on our first meeting and said, ‘Let’s get along well,’ and lived together for life.” His wife added, “I didn’t know he had no money at all. I realized how much debt he had after building Duriland,” and shyly mentioned, “I have never received a single flower. I think he will give me one later.”
Although he became buried in debt at his dream job, Lim Chae-moo, the representative of Duriland, is still dreaming, and his love story will be revealed in the main broadcast of ‘Donkeys’.
‘Donkeys’ airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM.
