Comedian Heo Kyung Hwan's thriving not only as a comedian, but as a businessman as well.

In 2010, the comedian launched a chicken breast brand called 'HEOdak'. 'HEOdak' exhausted half a year's supply in 2 months and reached 100 million KRW (approximately 90,000 USD) profit in a record time, reaching #1 out of chicken breast shopping malls.

Not only so, but his popularity as a comedian has been increasing as well. In the past, Heo Kyung Hwan made less than 1 million KRW (approximately 900 USD). However, as his popularity increased, he became one of the highest on-demand comedians for television CFs, moving up to become a celebrity who rakes in over 100 million KRW (approximately 90,000 USD) in addition to his profits from his chicken company. His current total income per year is 500 times his income from 6 years go.

'HEOdak' said, "Because HEOdak did so well last year, a lot of online chicken breast shopping malls appeared. However, HEOdak is the only current brand that is continuously putting out new products and enlarging the offline market."
