On the 18th, the People's Government posted on its SNS page "Life is fleeting. Dong-sung's life history" and posted the video. The video showed Kim Dong-sung, once called a national hero, on ice and working at the current construction site.
He said, `A husband in his 20s who was a national hero amid applause and support from the audience. But the times when I had to spend my years unemployed after falling into the abyss of instant criticism and arrows. Dongsung in his 40s who is working hard to find a job after enduring this," he said, looking back on his husband's life.
He then expressed his sorrow toward Kim Dong-sung, who works at a construction site, saying, `How suffocated he must have been every day in the dust and dirt.' The People's Government is also working with her husband at a construction site and emphasized marital love, saying, `We work together to relieve even a little of the difficulty.'
Kim Dong-sung married a non-celebrity woman in 2004 and had one son and one daughter, but divorced in 2018. Later, in February 2021, he appeared on TV Chosun 'We Got Divorced' to announce a new beginning with the People's Government, and completed his marriage registration in May of the same year.
Kim Dong-sung, once an Olympic gold medalist and South Korea's representative short track skater, was rumored to be involved in child support with his ex-wife after his divorce, which led to criticism even against his remarriage partner, People's Government. In response to this, the People's Party expressed its unfairness through SNS in April last year, saying, `It became a curse without knowing the truth and the circumstances.'
Since then, the couple has been working together at the construction site for a living, pioneering a new life. People's Government "I made a big decision and wore safety shoes with my brother."It drew attention by revealing the reason why he jumped into the scene himself.
