Pak Se-ri puts a number on her ad heyday: 10 billion won

Pak Se-ri revealed that she earned approximately 10 billion won just from filming commercials during her active career. This statement was made in a pre-release clip of the 47th episode of the tvN STORY variety show 'What's Left to Keep'.

The key point was the scope rather than just the amount. Pak Se-ri explained that she earned around 10 billion won from commercial shoots alone, not including tournament prize money or total sponsorship contracts.

Pak Se-ri answers "Yes" to Lee Young Ja's question

In the pre-release video of episode 47 of 'What's Left to Keep' released on the 15th, Ahn Jae-wook appeared as a guest. The conversation led to discussions about activities in China during the early 2000s.

Ahn Jae-wook recalled the era when the dramas 'Star in My Heart' and 'Goodbye My Love' received great love in China. He mentioned that the standards for appearance fees in the Hallyu market at that time were not as distinct as they are now.

In this flow, Lee Young Ja asked Pak Se-ri about her income during her active years. When asked if she had earned around 10 billion won, Pak Se-ri replied "Yes" and went on to explain that the earnings from commercial shoots alone amounted to 10 billion won.

LPGA records led to the advertising market

Pak Se-ri did not remain only within sports news since her days as a player. After debuting on the LPGA Tour in 1998, she won two major championships in her first season, and subsequently left a legacy of 5 LPGA majors and 25 tour wins.

In 2007, she also made her name in the World Golf Hall of Fame. These records translated into brand value for Pak Se-ri in the advertising market, establishing her as a sports star familiar to the public.

Stories of the 2000s shared alongside Ahn Jae-wook's China activities

This scene did not end with just Pak Se-ri's income story. As Ahn Jae-wook's period of activity in China was shared, the atmosphere of Korean stars making names for themselves in overseas markets in the early 2000s was also conveyed.

'What's Left to Keep' follows a format where Lee Young Ja and Pak Se-ri invite guests to eat and rest. Episode 47 covers Ahn Jae-wook's Hallyu experiences and Pak Se-ri's stories from her active years within the comfortable setting of a 'Celebratory Feast' prepared in Jeju.

Following the pre-release video, the main broadcast is expected to delve deeper into the 2000s activities of Ahn Jae-wook and Pak Se-ri.
