In 'Same Bed, Different Dreams Season 2 - You Are My Destiny,' Hwang Ga-ram revealed that while the song became a massive hit, the revenue was not substantial.
On the 5th, SBS entertainment program 'Same Bed, Different Dreams Season 2 - You Are My Destiny' (hereinafter 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2') featured the original artist of the mega hit song 'I Am Firefly' and the recipient of a copyright fee jackpot, singer Jung Jung-sik, who joined as a new fateful couple, revealing for the first time the daily life of an engaged couple just five months ahead of their wedding.
Hwang Ga-ram noted that he still has debt, so he works part-time. He explained that 'the lyrics and composition belong to Jung-sik hyung. It has nothing to do with me,' indicating that there is no revenue from the sound source.
Jung Jung-sik, the original artist of 'I Am Firefly,' shared his connection with Kim Gu-ra, saying, 'He gave me points quickly on the show called Brother Era.' Yook Joong-wan commented that Jung-sik reminded him of himself during his past auditions.
Seo Jang-hoon described Jung-sik's music as 'a mix of Yook Joong-wan and Jang Ki-ha.' Regarding the copyright fees, he mentioned, '(Before becoming popular,) it was about 10,000 won, 200,000 won. It was around that. Now, it’s enough to buy a fully optioned compact car,' referring to the considerable revenue.
Upon hearing this, Kim Sook expressed surprise, noting that the copyright fees could allow one to buy a car each month. Jung-sik shared, 'It has been sold to other countries. I keep getting contacted to ask for copyright agreements,' highlighting his exceptional popularity.
Jung Jung-sik shyly smiled as he said, 'My fiancée. We’ll marry at the end of October.' He indicated that he is separately looking for a newlywed home for the two of them, explaining, '(Money) just passes by,' referring to the many expenses involved.
