Singer Kim Jang-hoon (62) confessed that he had stopped smoking for 45 years.
On the 24th, Kim Jang-hoon appeared on the YouTube channel "Song Seung-hwan's Wonderful Life" and mentioned his life history.
Kim Jang-hoon said, "It's better to listen than to music yet. Sometimes I thought about it while listening to music for 12 to 13 hours," he said.
He added, "Now I've stopped drinking, smoking, and coffee, so I'm not happy, but I loved smoking while drinking milk coffee all night."
"I quit smoking for 45 years," Kim Jang-hoon said. "When I quit smoking, I looked for a reason to smoke, saying, 'Please don't get anything better,' and 'Please (get) worse after quitting smoking,' but it got so good."
"That's why I've been quitting for a year and a month, and it's gotten a lot better," he said, explaining the change after quitting smoking.
Kim Jang-hoon also revealed how he entered college after dropping out of high school. He said, "My mom said, 'Let's make two promises.' That was going to university, church," he said.
"(My mother) said, 'University is a society, so I hope you learn the world at university because you don't have social skills,'" he said. "I passed the GED in August and took the SAT that winter. I joined Kyungwon University, and my purpose was to join the band," he said.
