Dentist Kim Young-sam, formerly a comedian, expressed dissatisfaction with the size of the first-class seat on a plane and later issued an explanation regarding the matter.

On the 5th, Kim Young-sam posted a photo and caption on Instagram Stories saying, "No matter how spacious the first-class seat is, it's too wide. It's so wide you could even play soccer. I should bring a soccer ball next time."

The released photo shows Kim Young-sam seated in the first-class cabin of an airplane.

Kim Young-sam stated, "I joked that the first-class seat was narrow. How unfunny must a comedian be for a joke to be reported as a serious news story?" He added, "It's the fault of an unfunny comedian."

Previously, last month, Kim Young-sam posted a photo of an airplane seat with the caption, "How can anyone travel to the U.S. from such a cramped space? Even my high school study room was wider than this."

Regarding this, Kim Young-sam self-mockingly acknowledged that he created an atmosphere where his joke was taken seriously and issued an explanation for the earlier post.

Meanwhile, Kim Young-sam debuted as the 16th class of comedians on KBS in 2001 and pursued a broadcasting career. He later earned a doctorate in dentistry from the graduate school of Jeonbuk National University and is currently working as a dentist.
