M.I.B's Kangnam says he was bullied in school because of his mixed race

M.I.B's Kangnam confessed that he had been the victim of racial bullying when he was young.

"When I grew up in Japan, I got ostracized from everyone," he said in a recent broadcast. "I was short and part-Korean, so it was especially hard for me."

"In kindergarten, we didn't understand the concept of drawing the line, so it was even worse. They would pull on my hair," he confessed.

Jo Se Ho, who was on the same broadcast, commiserated with his situation. "I lived in Japan when I was young. I went back to Korea and transferred schools, and once I said I came from Japan, they started bullying me," he said. "I was young, so I pleaded with my mother to keep me home from school."

If only their bullies could see them now!
