Kim Hak-seon, a participant on KBS 2TV's "MAKE MATE 1 (MA1)," which began airing in Korea on the 15th, is becoming a hot topic mainly on social media.
He came to Korea in 2017 and said, "The idols on TV were so cool that I nurtured my dreams. It was a burden to tell my background, but I have to face it now,
"I felt like I was running away or avoiding things," he said, expressing his determination to take on the challenge. "I think I'll become stronger through this program," he said, "The environment is tough, and I can't do what I want to do."
"I want to give hope to those who don't have the ability to do it," he said. In particular, Kim Hak-sun's story became a hot topic online when it was made public.
