 Kim Ho-joong, a drunk hit-and-run, will learn the humility of his life from prison
Trot singer Kim Ho-joong, who is serving time for drunk driving hit-and-run, left a handwritten letter.

Song Young-gil, chairman of the Pine Tree Party, wrote on his account on the 3rd that the Chuseok holiday begins. Singer Kim Ho-joong will deliver the news. "The hardest thing in prison is the holidays. During the holiday season, exercise, visits, letters and interviews with lawyers are all interrupted and not a step can be moved in a confined room. It reminds me of Kim Ho-joong, who has been imprisoned for more than a year and four months since the holiday is almost 10 days away.'

CEO Song Young-gil once lived in the same building as Kim Ho-joong when he was imprisoned at the Seoul Detention Center. CEO Song said "Although the situation was different, conversations and small considerations in a narrow space during the most difficult and difficult times were a great comfort to each other." CEO Song, who recently visited Kim Ho-joong, said, `His face looked exceptionally clear. I quoted Mencius as saying that I hope this ordeal will be a time for Kim Ho-joong to experience deeper pain and people, build up his inner workings and stand as a world-class singer. He said, "I am now paying for my sins, receiving great social criticism for my past mistakes, but I felt that I was on the path of repentance, reflection, and determination despite the pain."




CEO Song Young-gil released Kim Ho-joong's handwritten letter. "Thanks to this letter, I was encouraged why I had to stand on stage again and sing, and I was able to understand why I had to overcome this time wisely." I will remember the advice you gave me today, and even though I am in a confined body, I will humbly reflect on myself every day and fill Kim Ho-joong's time."

Then "Everything is my fault. I feel it again today." "I will learn more about the humility of life here, and I will cut and cut so that I can become Kim Ho-joong, who does not fall in the same place by the same mistake as David." It's a very upsetting and painful time, but sharing and living together tells us why I was born and exist in this world."

CEO Song Young-gil "I read his true feelings in this letter. No fault can be made, but I believe that true reflection and a heart for a new start should be respected. So, I want to keep my small nervousness warm" expressed his opinion.




In May last year, Kim Ho-joong was arrested on charges of running away after violating the central line while driving under the influence of alcohol on a road in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, causing a contact accident with a taxi.
