Kim Sanghyuk disclosed the scale of his post-entertainment success during a July 16 television appearance. The Click-B member operates multiple ventures including a tailor shop and bag designs. His revenue reportedly surpasses typical corporate salaries in a single month.
Kim Sanghyuk appeared on the July 16 episode of Channel A’s Groom Class Season 2 as its first divorced cast member. He rode a scooter to his tailor shop on the program and explained his direct role in clothing design, including a suit created for Rain's music video.
The idol also discussed additional businesses in health patches and bags that he designed himself. Singer Lee Seung Chul expressed surprise after learning he had already bought two of the bags without knowing the connection.
When questioned about earnings, Kim Sanghyuk stated his ventures generate revenue that exceeds the annual salary of someone working at a major corporation, indicating monthly income at that level. He attributed the drive to anxiety over the instability of entertainment work after experiencing periods without jobs.
Kim Sanghyuk debuted with Click-B in 1999 and faced a 2005 drunk-driving and hit-and-run scandal that led to a suspended prison sentence and community service.
