The Magician Lee Eun-gyeol appeared on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' and revealed his past, in which he was forced into a 10-year "Slave contract" by an insider he trusted early in his career. He recalled the difficult times he went through, including financial hardship due to an unfair 9:1 profit split at the time, and the period when he had to suspend his magic activities and live like a recluse because of the contract issues.
