Song Il-gook Reveals Impressive Sales Figures for Triplet Calendar on Radio Star

On the May 7 episode of MBC's entertainment show Radio Star (라디오스타), Song Il-gook shared the remarkable sales figures for the calendar featuring his triplet sons, Daehan, Minguk, and Manse. The episode, themed 'Completely Deceived,' also featured guests Oh Min-ae, Jung Si-a, and KCM.

During the show, the MCs inquired if the triplets had ever debuted as actors. Song Il-gook responded that they made a cameo appearance in the historical drama Jang Young-sil (장영실) while filming the reality show The Return of Superman (슈퍼맨이 돌아왔다). As nostalgic childhood footage of the triplets played, Song Il-gook looked on fondly, prompting laughter from Kim Gook-jin, who jokingly urged, 'Show us that!'

Song Il-gook also recounted a moment when he truly felt the overwhelming popularity of the triplets during their time on The Return of Superman. He revealed, 'We created a calendar featuring the triplets. I was skeptical about selling it, so I promised to donate all the proceeds. However, the net profit that came to me alone was nearly 300 million KRW.' He added that he decided to donate even more, which left the audience in awe.

As of December 2015, the calendar had sold 360,000 copies, generating sales of 2 billion KRW. Song Il-gook expressed his surprise at the success, recalling a conversation with his wife where they doubted they would sell even 300 copies, and she questioned why they had even decided to do it in the first place.
