In the 370th episode of MBC's entertainment show 'Point of Omniscient Interfere,' singer Kim Jang-hoon revealed that he was able to enter Japan despite his active involvement in Dokdo-related activities.

On the show, when someone asked, "Aren't you barred from entering Japan because of Dokdo?" Kim Jang-hoon shared a surprising fact.

He explained, "Surprisingly, I go. Every year, I went to Japan out of curiosity. I stayed in a motel for one night, came back the next day, and did that for three years."

He also reminisced about the time he swam across to Dokdo and shared Japan's reaction with a laugh.

Kim Jang-hoon recalled when a Japanese cabinet secretary told actor Song Il-gook, "Due to national sentiment, you cannot enter Japan."

He chuckled, saying, "Since 'Song Il-gook' has a limiting particle, I thought, 'Then I can go,' and went there."

He revealed that he actually succeeded in entering the country and even joked to Song Il-gook, "Il-gook, I'm sorry," which brought laughter to the studio.

This episode is considered an example of Kim Jang-hoon's signature cynical yet relaxed attitude.

Recently, Kim Jang-hoon shared that he is gaining unexpected popularity among teenagers.

Surprisingly, the reason is videos mocking his singing style.

Kim Jang-hoon recalled the reactions at the time, saying, "The views are 2 million, 3 million, but they're all mocking me. They say, 'Is this a singer?' and 'He's a singer who shouldn't have come out even once in a thousand years.'"

Nevertheless, he was not embarrassed or angry.

Instead, he said he actively communicated by leaving comments. Videos that made him an object of ridicule went viral in a surprisingly attractive way,

creating a result that brought Kim Jang-hoon back to the public eye.

The most surprising episode revealed on the show was a free concert for anti-fans.

Kim Jang-hoon said he held the concert because he thought it would be funny to hear them booing after the song ended.

He told the audience, "I'll treat you. I came back to life thanks to you," expressing his gratitude instead.

This concert went beyond a simple event, and his attitude of flexibly accepting criticism and ridicule became a hot topic,

further solidifying Kim Jang-hoon's brand image.

Kim Jang-hoon concluded about malicious comments, "If it's not true, it's not true... it doesn't matter."

He showed a calm attitude, saying, "Recently, no matter what malicious comments I see, if it's not true, it's not true, and if it is, it is, and it doesn't matter."

As an artist with many years of stage experience, his solidity that does not waver in the face of criticism and his flexibility in jokes stood out.

This broadcast is being evaluated as a moment that added warm tolerance and humor to the familiar image of Kim Jang-hoon.
