Singer Kim Jang-hoon has again mentioned the past in-flight smoking incident.

Kim Jang-hoon recently appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel ‘Lee Yong-jin YouTube’ and had a conversation with comedians Lee Yong-jin, Lee Jae-yool, and Shin Gi-ru.When the topic of quitting smoking came up, he humorously and self-deprecatingly explained the incident of smoking on an airplane in 2014, saying, “I like smoking so much that I smoked in the sky.”

Kim Jang-hoon said, “I’m a Christian, and when I got to heaven, I felt closer to God.At that moment, I wanted to smoke a cigarette,” and “So I said, ‘I’m here,’ and smoked a cigarette, and it went straight to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport,” causing laughter.At the time, Kim Jang-hoon was fined 1 million won and sentenced to summary indictment for smoking in the bathroom on a flight from Paris to Incheon.

He stated in a police investigation that he was “stressed and anxious due to panic disorder caused by the cancellation of the performance,” and immediately after the incident, he apologized through SNS, saying, “There were circumstances, but the sin is clearly my responsibility.I will live with my mind intact.”
