Jang Geun-suk reveals that he tried everything to obtain the Black Card. (t/n: Hyundai "The Black" (Edition 3): Korea’s first VVIP card is the most well-known. It is strictly capped at around 1,000 active members and requires executive approval. Because these cards cater to the top 0.05% of the population, the qualifying thresholds are astronomical.
Jang Geun-suk, who worked hard to obtain the Black Card, which is issued to only the top 0.05%, said, "Honestly, I thought, 'Shouldn't someone like me get a Black Card?' I suppose this is just 'celebrity syndrome.'" He continued, "I called the card company directly. They called me back and said I wouldn't get a chance this time. They wouldn't tell me the reason. But I heard that their system requires the board members to review each candidate individually, and if the results are split 50-50, you have to keep giving presentations. I failed, tried again, and failed once more. I could have just thought, 'Maybe I'm not cut out for this,' but that only fueled my determination. So I enlisted the help of people around the card company. And on my third attempt, I finally got it issued and have been using it well ever since."
Netizens reacted with disdain saying "Does he have nothing else to show off than his money?" "But why is there a need to make a BlackCard? Paying the annual fee as well. A debit card is sufficient." [Nate]
