Kim Taewon, the guitarist of the band Boohwal, revealed that his royalties for the first quarter reached 100 million KRW because of IU.
On the episode of KBS 2TV's 'Boss in the Mirror' that aired on the 22nd, Kim Taewon featured as a guest.
On this day, Kim Sook introduced Kim Taewon as a 'hit-song maker,' saying, "I heard his royalties are huge."
Kim Taewon humbly responded, saying, "It's a bit awkward o say that my royalties are doing well."
He then named 'Never Ending Story' and 'The More I Love' as his most profitable songs in terms of royalties.
When Jeon Hyunmoo said, "I heard that you received a huge amount of royalties in just four months after IU remade 'Never Ending Story,'" Kim Taewon replied, "I received 100 million KRW in the first quarter," surprising everyone.
He then left a video message for IU, saying, "Nice to meet you, friend. Thank you."
