[TV Daily reporter Choi Hana] Former professional baseball player Kim Tae-kyun revealed he has launched an entertainment company. He appeared on KBS2's variety show \"Boss, Your Ears Are Donkey Ears\" (commonly called \"Sadang-gwi\") on the afternoon of the 10th, where he surprised viewers with his business acumen.
On the show, Kim — who has reportedly earned a cumulative 20 billion KRW (15 million USD) during his playing career — said he ran restaurants and a spa while still active in baseball, demonstrating an uncommon flair for entrepreneurship. He added that he is now concentrating on the entertainment business, a revelation that drew surprised reactions from those around him. When the hosts asked about the company's size and recruitment plans, Kim said, \"I've signed contracts with six artists.\" He joked that he'd love for his company to surpass SM Entertainment but that would be difficult \"without Hyun-moo.\" \"I'd even take out a loan to sign him,\" he said, directing a playful, impassioned invitation at broadcaster Jun Hyun-moo that had the studio laughing.
