Hasan Can Kaya, who made a huge splash with his show Konuşanlar, which he started on the YouTube platform, had transferred to the Exxen platform upon the offer of Acun Ilıcalı.
Kaya, who continued his programs on Exxen for many years, left Exxen with a surprise decision and moved to Disney+. Claims of astronomical figures regarding the transfer in question were put forward.
Hasan Can Kaya responded to the rumors. Speaking to Gazete Oksijen, Kaya stated that the reports claiming he "moved to Disney+ with an offer of around 325 thousand dollars" do not reflect the truth and said the following:
"None of the money written in the media is true. Of course, we are not doing one of the most-watched comedy programs of all time for free, but I have nearly 60 colleagues including those on set, investments made in new projects, and many other financial and moral responsibilities. Otherwise, money has never been the main source of motivation for me personally."
"I DON'T LIKE TO STAY IN MY COMFORT ZONE"
The famous comedian also explained why he moved to Disney+.
Stating that he does not prefer to stay in his comfort zone, Kaya said, "There are many answers to this. I guess I am not someone who can be motivated in a comfort zone. Because while we started from scratch on YouTube and reached an average of 14 million views per episode in our sixth month, instead of enjoying the comfort of this, I left YouTube and transferred to a newly opened paid platform with zero subscribers. After becoming the record holder of that paid platform over time and making about 200 episodes, I wanted to get out of this comfort zone, grow the target, and expand globally. We can say this is the main reason."
