Singer Kim Jang-hoon, who has been spreading good influence through consistent donations, has mentioned rumors about his financial difficulties.

On the KBS 1TV show ‘Good Morning Yard’ that aired on the morning of the 1st, singer Kim Jang-hoon and vocalist Kim Dong-gyu appeared as guests.

During the broadcast that day, announcer Kim Jae-won started by saying to Kim Jang-hoon, “There is a rumor that you donate even though you are having a hard time.”Kim Jang-hoon explained, “It‘s not difficult at all. Some people have a hard time even if they have 10 billion won, and some people just don’t have a hard time. I just go with what I am happy about. It‘s not difficult at all.”Kim Jang-hoon then mentioned a past manipulated broadcast, and Lee Kwang-ki said, “I was shocked. I heard that you can’t even pay rent,“ and Kim Jang-hoon confessed, “I heard you went to the market to pay your rent.”

Regarding the spread of fake news, Kim Jang-hoon said, “I used to be a helper at a traditional market, so when the market died from MERS or something like that, I went and performed 18 times in a month for free to save the market,” and explained, “During the COVID-19 pandemic, since it was non-face-to-face, I went to the broadcasting studio and performed ‘Cheer up’, and that‘s how it was woven together.”

Regarding Kim Jang-hoon’s good influence, announcer Kim Jae-won added, “He said he wouldn‘t talk about donations (on air), but his remaining dream in life is ’I hope there are no starving children in our country. He said he‘ll continue to donate until then.’”

Meanwhile, Kim Jang-hoon and vocalist Kim Dong-gyu will hold a joint concert, ‘To the Beautiful You,’ at the Haeo-reum Theater of the National Theater of Korea in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 19th and 20th to commemorate the Day of Persons with Disabilities. 100 people with disabilities and their families will be invited to each concert.

Kim Jang-hoon revealed his philosophy of “the best performance in the world, with the cheapest price,” and said, “It will be the best, most enjoyable, and warmest performance.”
