Singer Kim Jang-hoon has revealed a human side of himself, sharing his daily life and various concerns using AI. His daily routine, revealed through SBS 'My Little Old Boy', shows a friendly and bustling slice of life that differs from his glamorous stage persona.

"Please stop calling" Kim Jang-hoon troubled by explosive interest from juniors

Kim Jang-hoon expressed his distress over the constant phone calls from junior artists. While checking his video call history, he noted how frequent the contact from juniors has become. He expressed particular embarrassment regarding the situation of men engaging in video calls. During a call with a junior, Kim showed a playful sense of refusal, telling them not to call while drinking or to stop making video calls, yet simultaneously demonstrated his role as a senior by asking after the junior's well-being and answering questions regarding performances.

Conversations with juniors also extended to topics of marriage and event activities. When the subject of marriage arose, Kim joked that he is currently interested in meeting women. Additionally, in response to a junior's question about whether there are rumors of him doing "dumping" (discounted) events, he explained his current activity status, continuing an informal dialogue between senior and junior.

Asking AI about National Pension and free subway benefits: "From 2028"

Kim Jang-hoon's daily life also involves conversations with AI. Entering his date of birth, he asked the AI for specific lifestyle information. As someone born in 1963, he asked the AI when he would be eligible for free subway use, to which the AI responded that for those born in 1963, it would be applicable starting from 2028. This moment reflected the realistic curiosity of a middle-aged person checking elderly welfare benefits.

His questions then turned to the National Pension. After checking his eligibility to receive the National Pension via AI, Kim placed a call to the National Pension Service for actual consultation. He provided his date of birth to the counselor to confirm the timing and amount of his pension receipt. Upon being informed by the counselor that he has reached the age to receive the pension, Kim concluded the consultation by stating his intention to visit a branch in person, as he is not accustomed to using the internet.

Worries over stage performances and returning to the gym

Between phone calls and daily concerns, Kim Jang-hoon did not forget his identity as a singer. He recalled a time when he agonized over whether to make a dance break from a past performance funny or cool. His appearance preparing for a performance by entering a gym for the first time in 10 years shows a career that does not let go of music despite the bustle of daily life.
