[theqoo] BOBBY, WINNER OF SMTM3 WITH A 100M WON PRIZE... "IN REALITY, I ONLY GOT 10M WON"

[...]

In the video, Swings brought up an anecdote from his time on Mnet’s hip-hop audition show, SMTM3.

Bobby, who won SMTM, clarified a common misconception: "Many people think the prize money was 100 million won (75K USD), but that was the 'total prize pool', in reality, I received about 10 million won. (7.5K USD)"

The Quiett remarked, "The term 'total prize pool' feels a bit off; it’s as if it includes production costs and meal expenses."

Swings drew some envy when he mentioned, "For SMTM9, they provided 200 million won to help grow one's label, plus a 100 million won cash prize, bringing the total to 300 million won."
