Kang Ho-dong’s 2 Billion Won Donation Draws Attention



Kang Ho-dong's story was revealed.

JTBC 'Knowing Brother', which aired on the 15th, featured Woo Chang-yoon, an internal medicine specialist who runs the 'Doctor Friends' channel, Lee Nak-joon, an otolaryngologist, and Oh Jin-seung, a psychiatrist.

On this day, Woo Chang-yoon asked why he chose Seo Jang-hoon and Kang Ho-dong as the members of 「Knowing Brother」 that he wanted to see the most.」I also had a sense of challenge that I wanted to quit for 10-15 years when I was a doctor and try something else. However, it is a huge challenge for the two to peak in one career and then move on to another, and they have done it. I wanted to try something else someday" he said.




In response, Kang Ho-dong asked "Do you like wrestling or basketball?" and Woo Chang-yoon "I still play basketball now." I wouldn't do ssireum. Basketball is also at a disadvantage," he said, drawing laughter. Seo Jang-hoon, who watched this, looked happy, saying, `Looking at Chang-yoon, he is a doctor who gives faith to the patient.'

When asked why he chose his major, Woo Chang-yoon said, `Somehow, I graduated second place. Grades are important, too. People are flocking to popular departments, so I should have decided on the department first, but there were recommendations from around me, so I was going to go to the dermatologist. But the reason I entered medical school was because I wanted to see emotions come and go at the peak of my life and death. Then, I thought it wouldn't fit me at the dermatology department, so I thought about it for 2-3 months and decided to do internal medicine. So I applied for Asan Medical Center because I was wondering where the largest hospital in Korea was to do internal medicine," he replied.

He revealed his story by saying, "I help children a lot whenever they are sick." Then, Oh Jin-seung "The size of the nameplate varies depending on the donation amount, but Hodong is huge."
