Gree and His Family of Three Generations Travel Together Before Enlisting in the Marine Corps
Also Shared on YouTube That They Have a Painful Family History

Singer Gree (real name Kim Dong-hyun) revealed that he had been supporting his maternal family’s living expenses, including nursing care and living costs, for several years without his father, broadcaster Kim Gu-ra, knowing. On the 11th, Channel A’s variety show 'Dad is a Flower Middle-aged Man' featured Kim Gu-ra taking a 'three-generation trip' with his mother and Gree to build memories together. During the car ride for the trip, a conversation between Gree, who is set to enlist in the Marine Corps at the end of this month, and Kim Gu-ra was revealed. Kim Gu-ra asked, "You need money to use while you’re in the military. Have you saved any?" Gree replied, "I have money in stocks." Kim Gu-ra said, "He (Gree) doesn’t waste money," but added, "It’s just that there’s not much left."

Hearing this, Gree said, "I spent a lot helping out," and added, "I spent a huge amount on my maternal grandmother’s hospital bills. It cost about 3 to 4 million won per month. I also did grocery shopping and supported her for about 2 to 3 years." Kim Gu-ra’s mother responded, "Dong-hyun did it all," and Gree replied, "Of course, I have to do it all." Meanwhile, Kim Gu-ra showed surprise, saying, "I didn’t know you gave 3 to 4 million won per month as allowance to your maternal family."

In an interview with the production team, Kim Gu-ra said, "She was my in-law before, and I know how hard my mother-in-law went through," and added, "(She recently passed away) I was going to visit the funeral home, but Dong-hyun told me not to come, so I shared the funeral expenses little by little." Kim Gu-ra divorced his ex-wife A in 2015 after 18 years of marriage. They have a son, Gree. Gree became famous from a young age by appearing on various broadcasts with his father Kim Gu-ra.

Actor Kim Yong-gun, who watched the conversation between Kim Gu-ra and Gree in the studio, said, "Having a grandchild in their 20s is not easy," and added, "He must have been busy spending on himself, so it’s admirable." In June, Gree also shared on the YouTube broadcast 'Dakkaba' that "wealth has not accumulated much. There was a sick family history at home." He said, "I paid off a lot of my mother’s debts and gave her living expenses," and added, "My maternal grandmother passed away four days ago, and I spent more money on filial duties, such as hiring a caregiver." Gree is scheduled to enlist in the Marine Corps on the 29th of this month.
