Former mixed martial artist and broadcaster Kim Dong-hyun confessed that he had a hard time with bullying at school.
On the 16th, a video titled "Kim Dong-hyun, Ko Seok-hyun, and Kim Sang-wook" was posted on the YouTube channel "Salty Brother Shin Dong-yeop."
On this day, Kim Dong-hyun said, "My real name was Kim Bong." Shin Dong-yeop asked, "Didn't you say you changed your name because your friends made fun of you because of your name?"
Kim Dong-hyun said, "It was very famous. I don't know what school life is like now, but at that time, I had time to come out at the beginning of the semester and introduce them one by one. If I tell you my name, it was my nickname that the teacher laughed and teased me and went into Bongja," he said.

"Give me jjambbong and bongbong, and as I passed by, my friends grabbed me and said, 'I grabbed the bong.' When I was in school, I was a little passive because my personality was not a leader. If strong friends came and touched me, I thought, "I should be strong," he said. "I was immersed in that every day in class by myself. "The driving force that allowed me to become a fighter was bullying," he confessed.
He said, "I thought 'I will not have a body left' to win the fight from the class to Daejeon City and the whole country." I went to the police station a few times in my imagination, he said. "It was so stressful that I thought about this." I never fought in my school days because I thought I wasn't fighting," he added.
He said, "Then I fell in love watching the martial arts. "I became a player because I didn't have to fight on the road to fight in the ring, and I thought I would look like a strong person to anyone," he said.
