Rumors of Kang Ho Dong being involved with the Japanese Yakuza have recently surfaced, and his acquaintances have expressed their frustration.
On December 1st, a general service TV channel reported through a news program that 23 years ago, Kang Ho Dong attended a meeting that allegedly took place between Yakuza and Korean gang members, and shared a video clip of the meeting taking place.
A source close to the former MC informed Newsen through a phone interview, “23 years ago, Kang Ho Dong was only a high school student. He attended a wrestling match in Japan and was simply called out by the event managers. He was just a student at the time and there was no way he could disobey his elder authorities, and plus what would a high school student even begin to know about the Yakuza?”
“Kang Ho Dong is having a difficult time after temporarily resigning from the industry. It’s a shame that these kinds of rumors are even circling“, the source continued.
