Broadcasted on December 10, tvN's 'Problematic Men' welcomed producer Ryan Jhun to the show where he shared how Mnet 'Produce 101' Season 2 theme song "Pick Me" led to great success.


"After 'Produce 101' wrapped up successfully, I received another call during season 2.  I felt very pressured (because of the success of the first season)," he explained.


"While working on the new track, I happened to discover past tracks I wrote which were about 9-10 years old.  The track was originally called 'Moonlight', now known as the popular 'Pick Me' song."

In regards to royalty fees, Producer Jhun commented, "The royalty fees were directly deposited on the day of the recording. I checked the deposited amount this morning and it adds up to about the monthly salary of a corporate worker."


He also mentioned, "Since the producing team sold more than 8 million copies, that's enough to buy an entire house."
