On the 4th broadcast of the SBS program "Biseojin - Genie for Anything" (hereafter "Biseojin"), Cha Tae-hyun revealed why he agreed to join "Biseojin".

On this day, Cha Tae-hyun began by saying, "Originally, our company has 3 managers and 4 actors," explaining that because simultaneous activities are rare, it is fully possible to operate with a small number of staff.

He continued, "However, simultaneous activities started in August," speaking about how the situation turned out differently than expected. In response, Lee Seo-jin said, "You're short on managers," and Cha Tae-hyun revealed the real reason why he allowed the casting of "Biseojin", saying, "That's right, we're short. So usually I hire a part-timer. I don't care who it is."

Then Cha Tae-hyun brought laughter by saying, "But two older brothers just happened to come. Actually, I only need one person." In response, Lee Seo-jin drew empathy by saying, "Actually, one part-timer might be better than the two of us."

Next, Cha Tae-hyun worried, "How should I pay the part-time wage?" Revealing that he actually employs part-timers, he surprised everyone by stating that he would pay wages to "Biseojin".

Considering market rates and various factors, Cha Tae-hyun offered 200,000 won. Lee Seo-jin said, "You have to include a tip and pay more. Since it's Cha Tae-hyun, you should add more." Then Cha Tae-hyun said, "I only need one person," and Lee Seo-jin burst everyone into laughter by saying, "It's actually one person. You're hiring me, and this older brother is under me. You're hiring one person."

In response, Cha Tae-hyun said, "The system is well-organized. If that's the system, I'll give you 300,000 won." Hearing this, Kim Kwang-gyu brought laughter by trying hard to get a higher part-time wage, saying, "If giving cash is a bit much, you can give it in gift certificates."
