SBS's 'One Night of TV Entertainment' covered stars and their money this week under a corner labeled, 'Money moves when stars move.'
One celebrity brought up in this section was none other than Kim Soo Hyun, who created a syndrome throughout all of Asia after his performance in hit drama 'You Who Came From The Stars.' The expert on the show stated, "Even the representatives really didn't know that this would be such a huge hit. As 'You Who Came From The Stars' gained popularity in China, the stock price [for Kim Soo Hyun's agency Key East Entertainment] went up."
