Ivan Gunawan Leaks First Honor from Chatting Results on TV

Kapanlagi.com - In addition to being a successful designer, Ivan Gunawan is also a very popular figure in the entertainment world in the country. Until now, there are several talk show titles that he has hosted, such as one of them Brownies. Even throughout the year 2000, he has starred in a series of feature films.

Recently, Igun, his familiar nickname, was invited as a guest star on Melaney Ricardo's YouTube channel. On that occasion, this 38-year-old man talked about personal branding that has never changed since then until now.

"However I am, my appearance aura cannot be deceived. Indeed, my basic is a designer, but I plunged into the entertainment world because I have the courage to speak, to appear as it is. So I don't have to pretend to be this or that. So I really have a personal branding that I can share with the public. It has been like that since the beginning," said Igun, as quoted by KapanLagi.com from Melaney Ricardo's YouTube channel.

Igun then reminisces a little about how difficult it was for an artist to become popular in his time. Because back then, there were no social media platforms like there are today.

"And back in the day, there was no such thing as social media, Instagram, Youtube. So if you were famous, it's because you were truly famous. If in the past, for example, you were invited to a television station or TV program, I had to go all-out. Because back then, what we built was the impression. Especially if you were invited to shows like Empat Mata, Rumpi di Mall," recalls Igun.

2. Ivan Gunawan's First Honor

Although he is now more popular as a designer, Igun does not deny that he initially got his start in the entertainment industry. The man who is often paired with Ayu Ting Ting then revealed the first honor he received from shooting a television program.

"And my first program was on SCTV, Salon Rumpi. If I'm not mistaken, it was in 2004. And it was live from what time to what time. At that time, my fee was already 1 million, shooting from Monday to Friday. On Fridays, I would receive a 5 million cash check. That's why back then, my passion was in designing, but I ended up making money from the entertainment industry. I saved up and eventually had capital, got opportunities, and finally made it to where I am today," Igun concluded.
