Kim Jong-kook, the inside story of contemplating ‘retirement from broadcasting’

Kim Jong-kook confessed his inner thoughts about retirement.

In the SBS entertainment show 'My Little Old Boy' (hereinafter referred to as 'My Little Old Boy') that aired on the 16th, Kim Jong-kook was seen going for psychiatric counseling.

On this day, Kim Jong-kook, who met brothers Jae-jin Yang and Jae-woong Yang, health psychiatry specialists, said he has no material desires and said, "I have no concept of how much I earn. I just earn it. When I ask why I work hard to earn it, it's because I think it's money for my future family, not for myself." revealed.

At the same time, "At some point, I was struck by reality, wondering what I was living for. Suddenly, I looked back at the reason for living. There was nothing I wanted. I thought I wanted to quit my job right away and go to America and open a gym. But I couldn't rest, so I had to keep working. “I do it,” he confessed.

In response, Yang Jae-jin said, "I have a personality that makes me feel guilty when I play. It makes me anxious. I need to practice taking breaks in a planned manner," and advised, "You must set a regular rest day. You must also constantly find the purpose and reason for life."

When Kim Jong-guk was unable to answer the question of who he would save if he were to drown, his mother or his wife, Yang Jae-jin and Yang Jae-joong said, "Then the answer has already been found. The answer is to save the wife. The father must save the mother. Have a good married life." "To do this, you must be well separated from your parents. You must be responsible for the person you choose, and the person you chose is your wife, not your mother, so you must take responsibility for your wife," he emphasized.

Kim Jong-kook's mother, who first heard this fact through a VCR, expressed her sorrow for her son.
