2AM‘s Jo Kwon has recently appeared as a guest on “Happy Together” and revealed that he had no income for three years, until 2010, when song “Even if I Die I Can’t Let You Go” was released.
The news is even more shocking as Jo Kwon, since their debut days, has been appearing in many variety shows. He explained: “I had to repay the fees from my trainee days. Many people think I have a lot of money because I appear in many variety shows. But for three years after our debut, 2AM lived in a single room.”
He continued: “When I thought 2,000,000 KRW (around 1,770 USD) came into my back account after the promotion of “Even If I Die I Can’t Let You Go,” my mom and I cried holding hands. But when I came back to the dorm, I realized it was really 200,000 KRW (around 177 USD). Rather than the money, I was happy that I had finally paid back my debt. With the money I earned for the first time in my life, I paid my own cellphone bill which my parents had been paying for me. After that, the money kept on coming in and I was able to buy my parents a house.”
