While singer and broadcaster Tak Jae-hoon from the group Country Coco was mentioned as an entertainer from ‘gold spoon’ in a broadcast, Tak Jae-hoon is drawing attention by revealing that he did not receive a single penny from his father’s estate.
Tak Jae-hoon, “A celebrity from a gold spoon? I want to call the SBS boss my father”
On July 31st, on SBS ‘My Little Old Boy’, cast Lee Sang-min said, “There is no one who has as much talkativeness as Jae-hoon hyung. He has a good sense of humor, so it seems like someone who has nothing has something.” Kim Jong-guk, who appeared with him, said, “I like Jae-hoon’s hyung’s family. This hyung has a corner to believe. Hee-chul Kim also added, “When Jae-hoon hits his brother on the portal site, ‘Tak Jae-hoon’s father’ comes up first.”
Tak Jae-hoon skillfully replied to his colleagues who referred to him as a ‘gold spoon’, saying, “I don’t want to live like that, but I have no choice but to be born.” In response, the cast drove the atmosphere to Tak Jae-hoon, saying, “Return the fortune.” But Tak Jae-hoon said, “I haven’t received anything yet, so how do I return it?”He said, “I’m afraid I won’t give it to you. If you don’t give it to me even though it’s my child, then there must be another child. Do you know that the SBS boss likes me? I’d rather call him father.”
In fact, Tak Jae-hoon’s father is Bae Jo-woong, who is the CEO of ‘National Ready-mixed Con’, a large-scale small giant, and is the president of the Seoul-Gyeonggi-Incheon ready-mixed concrete association. Kookmin Ready Micon, which he runs, is a successful small and medium-sized company with annual sales of 18 billion won.It was originally a subsidiary of Ssangyong Group, but was acquired by CEO Bae Jo-woong in 1998 and is still in operation today.
In the past, CEO Bae Jo-woong said in an interview with a media outlet, “My son is a celebrity, so it is difficult to succeed in the family business.” Interest is also pouring in Tak Jae-hoon’s past, wealth, and family.

It’s great,” and so on.
