[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Gil, a rapper formerly of Leessang, spoke about donating the copyright royalties of 'Kkang.'

On the 14th, the Channel A variety show 'Dad’s True Colors' aired a segment featuring Gil's family taking family photos with the concept of Rain’s 'Kkang,' which has been gaining sensational popularity.

Photographer Oh Jung-seok, in charge of the shoot that day, suggested, "'Kkang'?you made it, right? Didn’t you produce 'Kkang'?" and proposed doing the photo shoot with the 'Kkang' concept.

In response, Gil said, "I felt embarrassed because you suddenly said that," and explained that the song was created together with friends he works with.

Gil’s wife, Boreum, added, "When the song came out, we gathered the family, turned the TV volume up to the maximum, and quietly watched it like a private screening."

Rain’s 'Kkang,' produced by Gil, has recently been receiving great love with a chart resurgence three years after its release.

Regarding this, Gil said, "It’s not a big deal, but I felt embarrassed because it became news," sharing his thoughts on donating the copyright royalties of 'Kkang.'

Gil stated, "Watching Ha-eum and seeing children in difficult situations made my heart ache. Through acquaintances, I decided to donate the 'Kkang' copyright royalties," adding, "We decided to help a hospital and several children. The exact amount hasn’t been determined yet. We plan to donate as soon as the earnings are settled."
