Kim Jang-hoon Donates W11 Million on 'Donation Talk Show', Leaves Audience in Splits

Singer Kim Jang-hoon made a heartwarming yet hilarious appearance on the YouTube channel 'With Sean', donating W11 million through a unique talk show format.

In the episode released on the 1st, host Sean introduced a special talk show where the guest's appearance fee would be deducted based on the words they used. Kim Jang-hoon confidently agreed to the rules, even stating he would cover any negative balance.

During the show, Kim Jang-hoon also addressed past rumors about his alleged W20 billion in donations. He explained that the figure stemmed from his significant contributions to renovating homes for self-reliant youths, admitting he felt he had donated even more at the time.

He further shared a touching story of taking out a loan to donate W50 million for a severely disabled family, surprising the hosts and viewers.

However, by the end of the talk show, Kim Jang-hoon had incurred a W11 million deduction, resulting in a negative balance. Despite his mock outrage, he expressed, "It's really fun. I've never been more peaceful and happy in my life," before tearing up, eliciting explosive laughter from the audience.

Previously, Kim Jang-hoon had clarified on the show 'Radio Star' that his temporary inability to pay rent for two months was not due to financial hardship but was a result of his voluntary performances in traditional markets during the COVID-19 pandemic to support local businesses.

Korean netizens reacted positively, with comments like 'It's amazing that Kim Jang-hoon donates in such a unique way,' 'He managed to bring both laughter and touching moments,' and 'He's a true angel of donation, the amount isn't what matters.'
