[Financial News] Singer Kim Tae-won has spoken out about fake news surrounding him, including rumors of serious health problems and his death.
The YouTube channel ‘God Kyung-kyu’ released a video on the 3rd titled “Why Kim Tae-won, who reportedly lost both his sense of taste and smell, returned to Qualifications of Men after 13 years.”
In the video, Lee Kyung-kyu reunited with Kim Tae-won, Lee Yoon-seok, and Yoon Hyung Bin, who had appeared with him on KBS 2TV’s entertainment program Qualifications of Men.
Kim Tae-won told the members to take care of their health. He said, “Let’s live for a long, long time. I’m worried because I’m sick.” When Lee Kyung-kyu replied, “I’m sick too,” Kim Tae-won retorted, “You’ve been sick for a long time. And since you’re older than me, you’ll probably go first.”
Kim Tae-won also brought up baseless rumors about himself. He said, “The rumor was that Kim Tae-won couldn’t even stand. The rumor took a strange turn. They even said I was dead.”
Kim Tae-won then laughed off the death rumors, saying, “I’ve died about four times.”
After hearing this, Lee Yoon-seok said, “This is why I can’t tell my seniors that I’m sick.”
