Singer Kim Heung-guk has become a promotional model for a hair loss treatment drug for the first time in his life. Although he once boasted of his thick hair, he openly shared his long-standing personal struggle that began since his debut with "Tiger Butterfly," declaring this modeling role as a new turning point in his life.

Kim Heung-guk announced on the 17th that he has been appointed as the promotional model for the brand "Hair Bomb."

Sharing his own experience with people suffering from hair loss, Kim said, "I also suffered greatly due to hair loss for a long time. Now that I have even become a model for a hair loss treatment drug, I want to be someone who brings hope to all those across the country dealing with hair loss."

Kim Heung-guk's connection with hair loss dates back quite some time. He recalled, "When I debuted in the early 1980s, I had an abundance of hair. It was so thick it even complemented my mustache. However, after 'Tiger Butterfly' became a huge hit and my broadcasting activities continued nonstop, my hair gradually began to fall out."

Since then, hair loss has become a long-standing concern for Kim Heung-guk. About 10 years ago, he revealed his hair loss condition and the use of wigs on a broadcast program, at which time he also worked as a model for wig products. However, he explained that in recent years, compounded by even more severe stress, his concerns about hair loss have grown significantly.

Kim Heung-guk stated, "I lived as a 'Kia fan' and experienced various social issues, which caused considerable stress. As a result, I lost a lot of hair. Eventually, it felt like almost all my hair had fallen out."

For him, being selected as a promotional model for this hair loss treatment drug carries meaning beyond a simple advertising contract. He intends to use this opportunity to connect with people across the country who suffer from hair loss and find new vitality in his life.

Especially recalling his past nickname "The Cheat Key of Variety Shows," Kim said, "They used to call me the 'Cheat Key of Variety Shows,' but now I want to become the 'Cheat Key for Hair Loss.' Eo-ah! Dae-i!" showcasing his characteristic cheerful wit.

In fact, Kim Heung-guk plans to actively promote the product starting with those around him through this modeling role. This Chuseok holiday, he intends to gift "Hair Bomb" sets to acquaintances suffering from hair loss, and is also considering using the product as a prize for audience members at his upcoming first solo concert (poster concept image) planned for year-end.

Kim Heung-guk said, "By applying, rubbing, and spraying it on my head, I want to regain strength in both my hair and my heart. Through this opportunity, I hope to bring smiles and hope to those worried about hair loss. I will continue to be active in a healthy and exciting way."
