Rumors claim Kang Ho Dong was linked to Japanese yakuza

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.
