A preview shown at the end of the June 24 broadcast of tvN’s You Quiz on the Block teased Kim Moo Yeol’s appearance on the program. Dressed in a familiar black suit reminiscent of his dramatic character, the actor joked that his neighbors had called him handsome for the first time in 10 years.
Kim Moo Yeol also discussed receiving a shoutout from John Cena, who viewers often referred to as his celebrity lookalike after Teach You a Lesson. The actor then talked about becoming a role model for Heo Nam Jun, who recently gained wider recognition through My Royal Nemesis. “I sincerely congratulate both of them,” said Kim Mu Yeol, celebrating the success of their respective projects.
Kim Moo Yeol only earned 200,000 won in one year
The preview also revealed that Kim Moo Yeol only earned 200,000 won during an entire year in the early stage of his acting career.
The unexpectedly low income highlighted the financial hardships he endured before becoming an established actor. His wife, actress Yoon Seung Ah, also appeared during an interview and became emotional as she reflected on their long journey together. “Oppa, we spent a lot of time together,” he began, struggling to hold back his emotions.
Kim Moo Yeol and Yoon Seung Ah publicly confirmed their relationship in 2012 and got married in April 2015. They welcomed their first child in June 2023, eight years after their wedding.
Kim Moo Yeol is currently receiving attention for Netflix’s Teach You a Lesson, which follows a newly formed authority created to protect teachers and restore order in schools affected by troubled students, parents and educators. The series has reportedly gained strong global attention, marking another major achievement in Kim Moo Yeol’s career after years of perseverance.
