Kim Ddol-ddol laughed, saying, I was eliminated in the first round in every survival show I participated in so far. He continued, This time, I made it right up to the finals. Even if I were to be eliminated, I wanted to leave with laughter and applause rather than feeling dejected like a loser. So, I tried to keep the energy high until the very end.However, the actual filming was much more grueling than expected.

I had to play politics, form alliances, plot, and devise game strategies, and noted, I needed to sleep, but I even conducted interviews before and after filming.The filming, which lasted for about 11 days, was a time completely cut off from daily life. In particular, the prison life remained a vivid memory among all the survival experiences he has had.Kim Ddol-ddol said, We filmed in March, and the prison was a ruin-like building with broken windows and only the framework remaining. Seeing that kimchi and bean sprouts were served for meals, I thought it was a truly realistic program. He continued, To use the restroom, I had to ring the doorbell and get permission via radio. It wasnt easy to even go to the bathroom in the early morning. I was locked up for two full days, and I couldnt even remove or reapply my makeup. I was only allowed to wash up during interviews.Kim Ddol-ddol has recently been continuing his new challenges, crossing between broadcasting and business. After expanding his broadcasting activities by appearing on all three major terrestrial networks in succession, he is scheduled to open a gay club called MOS in Itaewon, Seoul, next month.His future goal is a sustainable life rather than grandiose success. I dont know what Ill be like in five or ten years. Life is unpredictable, isnt it? If something I want to do comes up right in front of me, I just want to give it a try, Kim Ddol-ddol said. He continued, The important thing is to create a sustainable state. I have to take care of my health and earn money. Money itself is not the goal; rather, I need money to do the work I want to do.Kim Ddol-ddol is set to release a book on the 4th and is preparing to open a gay club next month.
