Singer Kim Jang-hoon (63) expressed surprise at receiving a higher National Pension benefit than expected.
In an episode of the SBS variety show 'My Unpretty Little Baby' broadcast on the 8th, Kim was shown checking whether he is eligible to receive his National Pension.
On that day, Kim called the National Pension Service and inquired, "This is singer Kim Jang-hoon. I see that I have reached the age at which I can receive the National Pension. I was born on August 14, 1963."

In response, a counselor informed him, "Since you were born in 1963 and are now 63 years old, you can start receiving your pension from September."
After asking about the expected pension amount and hearing the counselor's answer, Kim could not hide his surprise, exclaiming, "Are they really giving that much?"
When Kim then asked if he could apply for the pension immediately, the counselor explained that if he applies, he can start receiving payments from the following month, and that applications can be made by visiting a nearby branch or online.
In response, Kim replied, "I don't know how to use the internet, so I will visit in person. I am an old-fashioned person," which drew laughter.
