In the second episode of MBN Entertainment 'Let's Go Go Season 4', which aired on the 16th, Kang Bu-ja recalled his childhood in the war.
Rich man Kang said, "'My father gave me a name that means 'I'll be rich next time' and 'I was really rich when I was young.' He was born in 50 Ganggyeong-eup, Nonsan-gun, Chungcheong-do, and his father ran an oil business. In Ganggyeong-eup, the first and second business income taxes were contested, and our oil went all the way to Manchuria and Japan."
However, the situation changed rapidly when the Korean War broke out. Rich man Kang said, "President Lee Seung-man ordered an evacuation order, and my aunt sent a cart, so my mother decided to evacuate" he recalled. At that time, the family fled to Yongan-myeon, Iksan-si, 20 ri away, carrying rice bags, wall clocks, and precious metals.
However, the house was devastated after the evacuation. Rich man Kang said "Our house is an oil house, so it was targeted for shelling. As the fire spread, I could see the whole town of Ganggyeong-eup burned down""I was a diamond spoon until I was 10 years old, but I lost everything afterwards through gold and silver."He confessed. He added "My father lost the courage to rekindle his business, and he managed to hold on with his remaining fortune."
