In the first medical storytelling variety show in Korea, KBS 2TV's 'Celebrity Doctor's Secret,' the mystery surrounding Kim Du-han's death after meeting a mysterious man is revealed.
The episode airing on the 13th (today) will disclose the amazing story of a fighter who dominated Jongno in the 1950s and won against a powerful lawyer and the ruling party candidate thought to be in line with then-President Syngman Rhee during a congressional election. The protagonist is none other than Kim Du-han, who was elected by a narrow margin of just 500 votes. The secret to how he captivated the public and secured his election will be revealed in the broadcast.
Meanwhile, while resting in his office as a newly elected congressman, Kim Du-han was confronted by 30 assailants pointing guns at him. The actual footage includes testimony from Kim Du-han, stating, "While I was smoking, comrades like Lee Jeong-jae came with knives and guns. If in world history, former subordinates brandishing knives at their boss (in other countries) would instantly be killed. They would face cruel punishments," conveying his outrage. Jang Doyoun noted, "(Regarding the mention of) Lee Jeong-jae in the video, he was originally Kim Du-han's subordinate. In fact, Kim Du-han was the one who recognized him first and backed him. Why would he do such a thing to his brother...?" expressing her curiosity.
On this day, historian Shim Yong-hwan, who was a special guest, stated, "Lee Jeong-jae was known to be good at wrestling since he was 18. He was the son of a wealthy family," and remarked, "In the 1950s, the unemployment rate was enormous. Being a political thug paid ten times that of an ordinary office worker," explaining why Lee Jeong-jae, who came from a wealthy elite family, became a political thug.
However, during his political career, Kim Du-han faced attacks from assailants beyond just Lee Jeong-jae. Ten years after Lee Jeong-jae's death, one day, Kim Du-han was reportedly hit in the back of the head by another assailant, who advised him not to investigate the culprit and to "stay quiet." In response, Lee Chan-won explained, "Even without investigating, I felt I knew who was behind it. At that time, there were widespread rumors. It was said there were powerful figures behind the terrorizing of Kim Du-han..."
'Doctor MC' Lee Nak-jun questioned, "Is it really the Central Intelligence Agency?" as strange coincidences surrounded the day of Kim Du-han's death. About Kim Du-han, who died on an unusual day, Jang Doyoun reflected, "If it were a scenario, it would be a perfect narrative up until the day of his death," looking back on the life of a man with the romantic spirit of a hero during a time of upheaval.
Meanwhile, Kim Du-han's daughter, actress Song Il-gook's mother, actress and politician Kim Eul-dong, coincidentally hears information related to her father's death while in the United States. What could the shocking revelation be? The secrets of a celebrity's life and death throughout history will be exposed in the 19th episode of Korea's first medical storytelling variety show 'Celebrity Doctor's Secret.' The Kim Du-han episode will air on May 13 (Tuesday) at 8:30 p.m. on KBS 2TV and will also be available on Wavve.
