Kim Ji-woong, a soccer player who was extorted from the 11-year salary of the Divorce Conscious Camp, died on the 22nd (Roundup)



Former soccer player Kang Ji-yong died on the 22nd. He was 36.

The mortuary was set up at the funeral hall of Cheonan Hospital affiliated with Soonchunhyang University. The stamping will be strictly observed on the 25th.

Kang Ji-yong, who was born in 1989, debuted for Pohang Steelers in 2009. After moving to Busan I'Park in 2012, he retired from his career after playing for Gyeongju Civic Football Team, Bucheon FC, Gangwon FC, Incheon United, Gimpo FC, and Gangneung Civic Football Team.




The deceased made headlines by appearing on JTBC 'Departure Camp', which aired in February. At that time, the deceased entrusted all the salaries he received while playing soccer for more than 10 years to his parents, but he was in conflict with his wife because he did not get it back. The wife confessed that she was traumatized by the abusive language she received from her mother-in-law, such as "divorce and pay off her husband's debt together" and her husband's attempts to make extreme choices. However, the couple eventually overcame the conflict and succeeded in reconciliation.
