The Oct 1st broadcast of “Grown but Not Leaving” featured Zizo’s daily life and candid stories.
Zizo, who currently lives with his parents, explained, “Seoul’s housing prices are astronomical. Living with mother is the best way to save money.“
Known as a former “Show Me The Money” runner-up, Zizo spoke about his career as a rapper. He admitted “I’m working on some good projects, but I worry whether people will care once they’re released“, revealing his anxiety.
His comments on his income also caught attention.
Zizo said “These days, my earnings aren’t great“, disclosing that his monthly income is less than 1 million won. He humorously described himself as “a stingy kangaroo, but one day, I’ll be a surprising kangaroo“.
Reflecting on his past, Zizo recalled, “The busiest I’ve ever been was performing three times in one day.“
But now, he revealed, he only has one radio guest spot per week. He confessed, “It’s tough to make ends meet, and sometimes I live on less than 1 million won.” Viewers and the production team sympathized with his difficult situation, commenting, “It really tugs at your heart.”
As an only child, Zizo started his day by preparing nutritional supplements for his parents.
His warm family bond was evident as he cheered on his parents, who leave for work at 5 AM, shouting “Fighting!” to encourage their efforts. His father, amused by his son’s energetic attitude, jokingly said, “Grow up quickly, you little X.”
Haha commented on Zizo’s living situation, asking, “Are your parents living in the living room while you’re taking over the master bedroom?” But Zizo clarified “It’s not the master bedroom“, maintaining a lighthearted and wholesome atmosphere.
