Comedian Kim Byung-man, who appeared on ‘Las’, revealed that he has leased 450,000 pyeong of land in New Zealand for 100 years. He then surprises everyone by saying that he has more villas in the world than Bill Gates.
On the night of the 16th (Wednesday), MBC‘s ‘Radio Star’ (planned by Kang Young-sun/directed by Kim Myung-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang) will air a special episode of ‘Survival Masters’ featuring Kim Byung-man, Kim Jae-joong, Kim Dong-jun, and Cao Lu.
Kim Byung-man has gained huge popularity by always successfully completing challenges that seem impossible in the ‘Master’ corner of ‘Gag Concert’. Since then, he has shown amazing survival instincts such as hunting and building houses in ‘Law of the Jungle’, and has been reborn as a true ‘Master’ of South Korea.
