In 'Radio Star', Kangnam shared updates about his naturalization.
On the broadcast of MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star' on the 23rd, Kangnam appeared.
Singer Kangnam officially obtained South Korean nationality by passing the South Korea naturalization test in 2022. Since dual citizenship is not allowed between South Korea and Japan, Kangnam has now become a complete 'Korean person.' However, he is currently maintaining his Japanese name 'Namekawa YAS' as is. He is currently registered as 'Yongsan Na' and his surname is listed as 'Na.'
When everyone said, "But the name..." it was mentioned that he is considering a name change later. Kangnam explained that "YASO means a strong man, which is how the stage name 'Kangnam' came to be."
He also shared the changes after his naturalization. Kangnam joked, "It looks like I can get a tax exemption at Don Quijote," and added, "I think I will pay 50% income tax now. Taxes definitely made me a Korean. "
