Singer Kim Jang-hoon (63) could not hide his surprise upon learning that he had become eligible to receive the National Pension. He also expressed his intention to resume donations on the occasion of receiving the pension.
In an episode of the SBS variety show "My Little Old Boy" broadcast on the 8th, Kim was shown checking his eligibility for the National Pension.
During the broadcast, Kim showed interest in the National Pension while conversing with artificial intelligence (AI). He then called the National Pension Service directly to inquire whether he could receive benefits.
Kim, born in August 1963, was informed that he already met the criteria for receiving the National Pension.
After hearing the estimated monthly pension amount from a customer service representative, Kim expressed astonishment, saying, "Per month? Are they really giving me that much?" Regarding how to apply for the pension, he said, "I don't know how to use the internet, so I will visit in person."
He later shared the news of his pension eligibility with his close friend and fellow singer Lee So-ra when she visited his home. Kim stated, "I had been saving money, but I have decided to donate it again," expressing his intention to resume charitable giving.
Kim is a prominent philanthropist in the entertainment industry, and it is known that he has donated more than 20 billion won to date.
