On the 17th, Sports Chosun reported that fromis_9's Park Jiwon confessed that she had no income for eight years in a video titled 'A job where you can check an idol's salary' that was posted on the Youtube channel 'Workman.'
In this episode, Jiwon took on a part-time job experience as a bank teller. While hiding in the supply room to secretly eat jellies with her coworker, Jiwon asked, "What's the hardest part about working at a bank?" The coworker answered honestly, "Going to work is the hardest part because there's so much time left until I finally can leave."
When Jiwon asked, "What do you think about on your way to work?" the coworker replied, "I don't think about anything. Thinking actually makes things harder," drawing laughter.
Jiwon continued to ask, "How much is your annual salary?" leading the coworker to ask about Jiwon's salary as well. When asked to share first, the coworker whispered his annual salary and said, "Just tell me whether yours is higher or lower than mine."
Surprised by the figure, Jiwon exclaimed, "You make really good money. Seriously." The coworker then jokingly asked, "Yours is double mine, right? Triple?" to which Jiwon protested, "What are you talking about? If that were the case, I wouldn't be sitting here." She revealed:
"Until two years ago, I was completely penniless. I had zero income for eight years. I was basically broke. It hasn't been long since I started getting paid. I'm finally able to save money now."
Meanwhile, fromis_9 debuted in 2018. They originally started out as an eight-member group and now are currently active as a five-member group. After transferring to ASND last year, fromis_9 is set to make a comeback in July with their second full-length album.
