K.Will appeared on the March 12th episode of SBS’s entertainment show “Strong Heart VS”. On this day, Jun Hyun-moo introduced K.Will, “He’s not an ordinary singer. He’s a director at Starship Entertainment, the agency of girl group IVE.“
Later, after clarifying that he is not actually a director, K.Will said, “I’ve never changed companies. I’ve been there for a long time. Almost 20 years if you include the predecessor of the company. Because I’ve been there for a long time, they keep calling me, and I feel like I’m being treated well. In the end, I’m just an old man in the back room. An emotional anchor, so to speak.”
When asked if he has shares, K.Will stuttered, leading Lee Seok-hoon to comment “That’s why you didn’t work hard on broadcasts. There’s a reason“, eliciting empathy from the panelists.
K.Will revealed, “Anyway, I made money and received settlements from the company. I reinvested this in the company.” Hearing this, Jo Hyun-ah asked about the timing of stock purchase, “Was it before IVE’s debut?” K.Will replied “That’s right“, earning admiration.
Jun Hyun-moo commented “IVE is probably more important than your own music achievements“, to which K.Will humorously responded, “What’s important about that kind of thing?“
