Broadcaster Seo Jang-hoon has been reported to have sent a flower wreath to the funeral of the late Kang Ji-yong, a former soccer player.
The late Kang Ji-yong passed away at the age of 37 on the 22nd. He formed a connection with Seo Jang-hoon after appearing on the JTBC entertainment program 'Divorce Counseling Camp' in February. It is said that Seo Jang-hoon sent a flower wreath to the late Kang's funeral to pay his respects.
During his appearance on the show, the late Kang Ji-yong revealed that he was having conflicts with his wife because he gave all the money he earned as a soccer player to his parents due to family issues.
After the news of Kang's passing was announced, the 'Divorce Counseling Camp' team changed the couple's episode to private and deleted the replay.
The late Kang Ji-yong made his professional soccer debut in 2009 after being selected 5th overall by Pohang Steelers in the K League draft. He later played for teams such as Busan IPark, Bucheon FC 1995, Gangwon FC, and Incheon United FC, retiring after the 2022 season.
The late Kang Ji-yong gained attention as the cousin of singer Kwon Eun-bi.
