Math instructor Jeong Seung-jae revealed remarks made by broadcaster Boom in the past, leading Boom to bow his head and apologize.
Jeong Seung-jae appeared as a guest on the 369th episode of tvN's entertainment program 'Amazing Saturday' (hereafter 'Nolto') alongside Jeong Hyung-don, who is active in the project group 'XY'.
As a 'popular broadcaster', he showcased his cheerful entertainment skills by challenging a dictation task, while also shaking the studio with an unexpected connection and a strong first greeting episode with MC Boom.
On that day, Jeong Seung-jae requested a deep conversation with Boom, saying, "Do you know this is our fourth meeting?" meaningfully. It turned out that the two had first met about 13 years ago on KBS 2TV's entertainment program 'Youth Unification' and had often crossed paths on broadcasts, but had never actually spoken to each other.
When Shin Dong-yeop asked, "But you must have exchanged at least a few words," Jeong Seung-jae replied, "In between, when I was drinking water, he did come over to me," and revealed, "He asked me if I was making a lot of money." The 'Nolto' members collectively criticized, "That's disgusting," which brought laughter.
Jeong Seung-jae continued, "Then he also asked what car I came in," and the members reacted with shock, saying, "That's the worst," and "Are you trying to treat me well if I earn a lot, and not treat me if I don't?" and "Were you trying to get a meal out of it?" which caused more laughter. In particular, Nucksal bluntly stated, "He's the king of materialists."
Boom then acknowledged, "I'm really sorry from the start," and immediately apologized, saying, "I will treat you well as a VIP today."
On that day, Jeong Seung-jae also revealed that his second bucket list item was to appear on 'Nolto'. Jeong Hyung-don explained, "There’s a reason why Seung-jae chose this place. His dream was to have a gathering with many celebrities," and the members laughed, saying, "So that's why a gathering notice suddenly appeared in the group chat." The atmosphere was cheerful, and the game proceeded smoothly afterward.
Meanwhile, Jeong Seung-jae had previously revealed his salary while appearing on the JTBC entertainment program 'Knowing Bros' (hereafter 'Ahyung') in 2023. He has been a top math instructor since 2011 and stated, "If you look at the salaries of major league players, there are quite a few similar ones," and mentioned, "It's over 10 billion won a year," drawing attention.
He also debuted as a singer through the song 'It Will Be Fine' in 2020. In December of the same year, he released the trot dance song 'Eohwa Dung Dung' and promised to provide free lectures for a year as a pledge for reaching number one on the charts. He is currently active in the group 'XY' formed with broadcaster Jeong Hyung-don.
