Singer Kim Jong-kook, who is currently active as a Youtuber, released his position about the suspicion of him using steroids.
On November 6th, Kim Jong-kook mentioned the ‘steroid’ controversy on the community section of his personal Youtube channel “GYM Jong-kook”, saying, “Living in this life, you will meet all kinds of ridiculous issues.”
He continued, “I just wanted to mention this lightly through a video and comments then let it pass, but it already came out on news reports. As a rookie Youtuber, I couldn’t ignore this since I thought this would be such interesting content.”
Kim Jong-kook said, “If necessary, I’m determined to undergo all kinds of tests that exist in this world. I’ve just finished one today. If there is any credible and highly recommended test that you know, please comment below to inform me, as many as possible.”
Moreover, he said he is considering registering as an athlete in order to receive a test at the professional doping agency. He shared, “If any official (from the doping test agency) happens to read this, I would be thankful if you could give me a chance to get a very detailed examination, thinking about a big picture of developing and promoting Korea’s fitness.”
Lastly, he expressed his determination, saying, “I want to prove that this might be an impossible thing without using that kind of drug in their surrounding but in Korea, our country, how funny it is to see many people just enjoy working out.” then added “Korean’s spicy taste”.
Moreover, regarding the “1 million dollars” bet from the Youtube channel that raised the suspicion of Kim Jong-kook using steroids, he said, “I just don’t care about that 1 million dollars. I think that was so embarrassing…”
Meanwhile, on the 31st of last month, Greg Doucette, a world-famous bodybuilder and health Youtuber with 1.2 million subscribers, raised suspicions that Kim Jong-kook used steroids to build his muscles through a video titled, “Kim Jung Kook || Natty or Not”.

Hello, I’m Kim Jong-kook of “GYM Jong Kook”!
Living in this life, you will meet all kinds of ridiculous issues~ Haha
I just wanted to mention this lightly through a video and comments, then let it pass. However, since it already came out on news reports, I just can’t ignore it. As a rookie Youtuber, I thought this would be such interesting content…
If necessary, I’m determined to undergo all kinds of tests that exist in this world. I’ve just finished one today. If there is any credible and highly recommended test that you know, please comment below to inform me, as many as possible~
I also did research myself.
There is a global organization that is specialized in conducting doping tests called WADA and a Korean one called KADA… I heard that you have to register as an athlete to get tested, so I’m thinking to do so… Even if I’m willing to do it, it wouldn’t be easy…
If any official (from the doping test agency) happens to read this, I would be thankful if you could give me a chance to get a very detailed examination, thinking about a big picture of developing and promoting Korea’s fitness.
I want to prove that this might be an impossible thing without using that kind of drug in their surroundings. but in Korea, our country, how funny it is to see many people just enjoy working out ^^ (feat: Korean’s spicy taste)
I just don’t care about that 1 million dollars. I think that was so embarrassing… That’s worth worrying about, isn’t it?
