Park Myung Soo recently expressed his gratitude for his long-standing manager, Han Kyung Ho, who has been with him for 18 years and receives a salary of approximately 100 million won (~80,000 USD). Despite referring to this as 'low pay,' Park's appreciation for his manager's loyalty and dedication was evident.

During the November 11 episode of KBS CoolFM's 'Park Myung Soo's Radio Show,' Park responded to a listener's inquiry about Han Kyung Ho, who has been a familiar figure since the 'Infinite Challenge' days. Park humorously remarked, "Han Kyung Ho has stayed with me for so long because I am aware of his weaknesses. He can't leave me."

Park acknowledged Han Kyung Ho's commitment, despite the modest salary, and also expressed his gratitude towards his stylist, who has also been with him for many years. He noted, "We have all aged together over time."

Han Kyung Ho, appearing on JTBC's 'Livelihood Research Institute' in 2017, had disclosed his salary, stating it ranged between 80 million to 100 million won. He mentioned covering his own car and activity expenses, although Park Myung Soo also contributes to these costs with his personal card. An instance of this was shared in 2021, when Park asked Han to change the car's engine oil, a transaction amounting to 636,130 won.

Despite occasional teasing about the salary amount, Han Kyung Ho described Park as a 'warm brother,' endearing viewers with his positive sentiments towards his employer.

Park Myung Soo has nurtured a nearly two-decade-long professional relationship with both his manager and stylist, with Han Kyung Ho joining him in 2005 and his stylist in 2006. Their camaraderie has often been highlighted on various broadcasts, including appearances on the YouTube channel 'Ha Myung Soo.'

In one such instance, during a tour of Ulleungdo, Park Myung Soo gathered his manager and stylist for a group photo, showcasing their close-knit bond. He playfully coerced them into the photo, threatening a salary cut, which resulted in laughter among the group.

The depth of their relationship was further underscored when Han, during his 'Livelihood Research Institute' appearance, was asked if he would choose to work with Park again in another life. He responded, "While I wouldn't choose to be a manager again, if I had to, I would definitely be Park Myung Soo's manager."

"I have a special agreement with Han Kyung Ho," Park Myung Soo shared, revealing the depth of their bond. "I've pledged that should the day come when my work winds down, we will both wear modernized hanboks and spend our days fishing, enjoying life to its fullest," he added, highlighting the affection and camaraderie he shares with his long-time manager.
