Kim Song Reveals Family's Exotic Heritage on KBS Joy's 'Ask Anything'

Kim Song, wife of Kang Won-rae, shared the reason behind her and her twin's exotic appearance.

On the evening of the 13th, KBS Joy's 'Ask Anything' featured Kim Song and her fraternal twin brother, Kim Jae-hyun.

During the broadcast, Kim Song appeared alongside her twin brother, Kim Jae-hyun, drawing attention. Kim Song revealed, "We are fraternal twins, and I am five minutes older." Kim Jae-hyun added, "I lived in Malaysia for 20 years but returned to Korea last year after being scammed. Now, I work as a senior model, but due to my appearance and tattoos, I often face challenges in getting gigs."

Kim Song continued, "I've been told I look mixed-race since I was young. Although there were many negative comments in the articles back then, I wasn't bothered." She recalled, "Strangely, people always asked if I was wearing colored lenses."

Kim Song shared, "I didn't think much of it until last year when my aunt visited Korea for my grandmother's memorial service. I told her about this." She continued, "I suspected it might be from my grandmother's side, as she had an exotic appearance. My aunt whispered 'Russia' to me."

Kim Song revealed, "My paternal grandmother was a mixed-race from North Korea and Russia. I only found out about her mixed heritage last year." She added, "She lived in Korea and spoke fluent Korean, which is why I never knew the secret behind our striking features."
