YG Entertainmentreportedly requested that all of Bobby's prize money of 100 million KRW (~97,600 USD) from 'Show Me The Money 3' be given to him without deducting any agency fees so that his family can be supported.



A rep close to YG toldOSENon the 6th, "As soon as CEOYang Hyun Sukheard the news of Bobby's win on 'Show Me The Money 3', he told them to give all of the 100 million KRW [to Bobby] without a penny being given to the agency and for extra expenses...

Bobby previously mentioned that he hasn't seen his family, who live in the States, in 4 years due to his training in Korea. His motivation for winning the show was also for his family as he shared, "If I win, I will make a way to meet my mom and bring over my mom and dad somehow."He also expressed on the show that he'd want to prepare a home in Korea so that his parents can come live there with him.
