After rumors of 'National MC' Kang Ho Dong leaving KBS 2TV's '1 Night 2 Days'' arose, there's a new rumor floating around now that he received an offer of approximately $10 million USD to leave KBS and transfer over to SBS. An associate in the entertainment industry revealed, "Kang Ho Dong is in the middle of establishing a one-man agency and is thinking of making a show where he will both produce and star in." The associate added, "We heard that SBS have arranged a show where Kang Ho Dong will be afforded both of these luxuries and even offered him $10 million USD". According to senior officials, Kang Ho Dong, the MC on the leading variety show, "1 Night 2 Days", which is currently enjoying the best ratings out of all the shows on the 3 major broadcasting stations, is well worth the $10 million USD. The variety show is also pulling in the highest earnings mainly due to Kang Ho Dong's witty jokes, slapstick comedy, and determination to go all out with his body. Because of this, KBS is selling out all their advertisements at a premium price. According to an associate of the Korea Broadcasting Advertising Corporation, '1 Night 2 Days' advertisement earnings are around $700,000 USD per episode. If you add the replays, the earnings can easily exceed $1 million USD. On top of that, the show is a certified ratings maker and if you calculate the earnings and his potential pay the show will earn around $4.5 million USD, making the rumors on Kang Ho Dong's offer of $10 million somewhat believable. However, an associate of SBS commented, "Even with high ratings and assurance in advertisement earnings, offering one person $10 million is a bit too much", and added, "It's true that everyone is trying to recruit Kang Ho Dong after he announced that he was leaving "1 night 2 days", but I'm not quite sure about the rumors of the $10 million USD proposal".
