Broadcaster Jeong Yong-geom revealed Lee Dae-hyung's reaction after being chosen as the 'salary king' of the commentary industry.

On the 29th, a video titled 'The Father of Stocking Jeong Yong-geom, Kim Gu-ra's Son Kim Hwan' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Stocking'. In the newly revamped 'Stocking,' broadcaster Kim Gu-ra and commentator Kim Seon-woo hosted, while freelance announcer Jeong Yong-geom and Kim Hwan appeared as guests.

Previously, commentators Jang Seong-ho, Lee Dae-hyung, and Na Ji-wan appeared as guests, mentioning the salaries of the commentators at that time. Kim Gu-ra asked, 'I understand that coaches do not receive substantial salaries compared to other professions. Is the commentator's salary much better?' In response, Jang Seong-ho said, 'The starting salary is not an enormous amount. The amount varies depending on the viewership rating. Mine is frozen,' and lamented, 'The most common thing we hear from the broadcasting station is that our country's economy is tough, and the broadcasting station is having a hard time these days.'

Hearing this, Kim Gu-ra asked, 'So who is the top max among the commentators?' Jang Seong-ho explained, 'Back when President Heo Gu-yeon was around, I heard the basic salary was between 250 million won and 300 million won, taking Ryu Hyun-jin's games on a game-by-game basis.'

When Kim Gu-ra asked who the current salary king is, Jang Seong-ho replied, 'As far as I know, it's Commissioner Lee Soon-cheol.' Kim Gu-ra responded, 'Let's exclude our Lee Soon-cheol. He was drafted in '85.'

In this context, Na Ji-wan said, 'I feel like I'm in this position,' pinpointing Lee Dae-hyung, and Kim Seon-woo added, 'There has been a lot of talk lately.' Lee Dae-hyung stated, 'I also received my salary on a game-by-game basis for the first two years, and it has increased a lot every year. This year, I made a good contract. I don't know how much the commentators receive, but I can say I received as much as I did when I retired as a player.' Lee Dae-hyung's retirement season salary is reported to be 200 million won.

In relation to this, Jeong Yong-geom said, 'Lee Dae-hyung, the commentary commissioner, became the salary king among the commentators. After that broadcast aired, the following week, there was a game overlap, and I saw Dae-hyung, and his shoulders were raised like this (high),' generating laughter.
