Singer Kim Song revealed a surprising family history, saying she learned she was mixed race after about 50 years.
On the 13th, KBS Joy variety show Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller featured Kim Song and her twin sibling Kim Jae-hyun together. That day Kim Song's younger sibling Kim Jae-hyun said, "I lived in Malaysia for about 20 years," and upon hearing this Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Sugeun said, "You have a local feel," expressing surprise.
When Lee Sugeun asked, "Have you ever been told you are mixed race?", Kim Song calmly replied, "Because I am older, people used to say 'twigki' instead of 'mixed race.' Still, I didn't find that offensive. There were malicious comments asking 'Are you Black?' in articles, but I wasn't upset. I never wore contact lenses, yet people asked me, 'Are you wearing lenses?'"
Kim Song continued, "There is a story about this," adding, "When I brought it up to my aunt, she said my grandmother's side was suspicious. Then she leaned close to my ear and whispered, 'Russia.' It was only last year that I learned there was mixed blood in me."
She smiled and said, "It's amazing that I lived not knowing my roots, and now it feels like the puzzle pieces are fitting together."
On this episode, Kim Song left a strong impression on viewers with her characteristic frankness and unadorned wit.
Meanwhile, Kim Song married Clone's Kang Won-rae in 1996 and has a son, Kang Seon.
