"I must do more when they call me"... The reason for handling 3–4 schedules a day

In the video, Kwak Beom's manager Kim Jin-ho explained that the volume of Kwak Beom's schedule is very high. Kwak Beom is currently handling several fixed programs, and when a casting offer comes in, he is in a situation where he handles 3–4 schedules a day, even if he has to split up his travel time. Regarding this, Kwak Beom expressed his feelings, saying, "I must do more when they call me; now is not the time for me to whine about being tired," revealing that because there were sorrows during his unknown days when he wanted to appear but couldn't, he is responding to casting offers with a grateful heart as much as possible.

In fact, Kwak Beom is handling schedules even amidst a series of dawn shoots, and mentioned that last August, he continued work without any days off.

Unknown days when he considered selling gold rings... A reversal met through YouTube

Kwak Beom also opened up about the realistic hardships he experienced as a comedian in the past.

Kwak Beom shared his experience of making various attempts, such as considering running a beef soup restaurant as a realistic alternative or drawing and editing animations himself.

In particular, a specific anecdote from when his economic difficulties reached their peak was also revealed. Kwak Beom confessed that there was a difficult time when he seriously considered whether he should sell a child's first birthday gold ring, saying, "It was a situation where nothing but gold rings were visible inside the wardrobe." He explained that as his YouTube videos began to receive responses and contents such as Mad Monster and Lee Tae-pung gained attention, it led to his current active activities.

Currently, it is known that Kwak Beom is making every effort to meet his schedule, such as securing 2–3 hours during travel time to conduct filming in order to respond to the pouring casting offers.
