I hate Kim Jang-hoon's overuse of power, love Dokdo...an apology to Song Il-guk for banning entry into the country



Singer Kim Jang-hoon practiced his unwavering love for Dokdo.

Kim Jang-hoon appeared as a guest on MBC"Omniscient Interfere View" aired on the 25th, revealing his daily life.

Kim Jang-hoon has been active for a long time as 'Dokdo Protector'. After starting the national tour on Dokdo in 2011, he took the lead in protecting Dokdo by swimming Dokdo in 2012, taking photos in 2013, playing Go against Lee Se-dol in 2016, and performing Dokdo in 2020, again choosing Dokdo as his first stage of the national tour.




Kim Jang-hoon said, `I hate being bossy, but I hate Japan's abuse of power against Korea. That was the beginning," he recalled.

Kim Jang-hoon entered Ulleungdo Island by boat for seven hours from Pohang. He sang 'Independence Army's National Anthem', and the concert hall was immediately shouted 'Long live Korea'.

Lee Young-ja asked how to solve the problem of expenses, and Kim Jang-hoon answered "I did it with my own money."

In fact, Kim Jang-hoon's vehicle was wrapped with photos of independence fighters such as martyr Yoon Bong-gil, patriot Ahn Jung-geun, and martyr Yoo Gwan-soon. Again 'What? A Takeshima on the world map? If you take a QR code with the phrase 'Sea of Japan?', you can go to a site where you can correct misinformation about Korea.

In response, the panel wondered if entering Japan was even prohibited, and Kim Jang-hoon went to Japan every year except ". I just went for three years to test. In the past, I swam across Dokdo, and actor Song Il-guk also went. At the time, the Japanese minister said that Song Il-guk was prohibited from entering the country due to his own sentiments. I went in and said, `I'm sorry, Ilguk.'

Kim Jang-hoon is called a leading angel in the entertainment industry with donations worth 20 billion won. In response, Kim Jang-hoon "I want to clear up the misunderstanding. Donations are not made with a lofty heart. You just live as a free spirit. I have a lot of memories of starving myself, so I eat well, and I've been homeless a lot, so I just want to sleep in a good place."




Then "We shot about 50 commercials. I really changed a lot of money. So I feel stupid that I only donated 20 billion won. Spending 200 billion won or 2 trillion won does not mean that you can change the world, but you are leading by example like a campaign. People ask me what if I don't have money after retirement, but if I continue to do volunteer work, I don't have to spend money, exercise, and it's fun. I am not confident that it will go well, but I am confident that I will be happy somehow."
