Kim Heung-guk, “I risked my life to help the nation… “I haven’t even received a phone call to say thank you.”

Singer Kim Heung-guk, who supported the People Power Party candidate during the April 10 general election, expressed his disappointment, saying there was no thank you message from the ruling party after the general election.

On the 24th, Mr. Kim Heung-guk appeared on Channel A’s ‘Political Signal’ and said, “After the general election, there was not even a single phone call saying thank you or asking for a meal. If this is the case, he is a right-wing celebrity who is reluctant to be political, so who will step up?” “Do you want to do it?” he said.

Mr. Kim said, “Right-wing celebrities are scared because there is no one to guarantee them,” adding, “I risked my life, but it was hard.” “The reality is that there is no such thing as ‘let’s have a meal together’,” he said.

He continued, “I didn’t ask for a position, but there hasn’t been any contact from the party level,” and pointed out, “Shouldn’t we show our gratitude on a human level?”

Mr. Kim said, “Whether it is a presidential election or a general election, left-wing celebrities always appear. “Even if you do that, it’s not like they can’t broadcast, and they do everything they want to advertise and hold events,” he said. “I’m not a member of the People Power Party, and I just want the Republic of Korea to do well.”

Regarding the statement that ‘I hope emergency committee chairman Han Dong-hoon will do bigger things in the future,’ Mr. Kim said, “I am going back to being a singer and entertainer, but I miss that person so much that I did it with the hope that he will do even bigger things in the future.”

At the same time, he said, “I wanted to talk and meet (former Chairman Han) once, but it wasn’t possible because we were both busy. “We had a hard time together, but let’s still have a glass of soju,” he requested.

When the host said, “Former Chairman Han can’t drink,” Mr. Kim said, “I can drink alone.” “I just need to be next to you,” he replied.

In addition, regarding the ‘Marine Corps Corporal Chae Special Prosecution Act’, “Why do I have to come forward (state my position) regarding Corporal Chae’s case? “Isn’t that why I can’t come forward?” he said. “Am I the only celebrity who graduated from the Marine Corps?”

He said, “Some people say that I was fired or expelled from the Marine Corps Comrades Association, but I voluntarily returned.” He added, “Aren’t dismissals and dismissals different? “I wish I knew better and said it well,” he added.
