Construction of ‘Kim Ho-jung Sori-gil’ was completed a year ago with 24.17 million won in support from Gimcheon City.
Gimcheon Arts High School ‘Tvarotti House’
(Gimcheon = Larose.VIP) Reporter Kwan-sik Yoon = There is controversy because a shelter with ‘Tvarotti’, the nickname of singer Kim Ho-jung, who was arrested on charges of drunk driving and hit-and-run, is being operated by Kim’s school.
At Gimcheon Arts High School, where Mr. Kim graduated, ‘Tvarotti House,’ a shelter built in memory of Mr. Kim, is in operation.
Photos and press releases of Mr. Kim are installed here.
This place has also become famous as a Kim-related attraction, with many of his fans visiting.
According to Gimcheon Arts High School on the 27th, ‘Tvarotti House’ was completed around September 2020, a year before ‘Kim Ho-jung Sori-gil’ was created.
The shelter was created with an area of 8.5 pyeong by Gimcheon City, which provided 24.17 million won to the school as part of an educational environment support project.
Gimcheon Arts High School ‘Tvarotti House’
An official from Gimcheon City said, “This was supported at the school’s request for a student lounge,” and added, “The name ‘Tvarotti House’ was arbitrarily chosen by the school.”
There are also voices of criticism regarding Mr. Kim’s shelter installed at the school.
One citizen criticized, “There is a problem with the school that pretends not to notice the school violence and promotes students who have only attended for a year and a half.”
Mr. A, the former principal of Gimcheon Arts High School, also posted a YouTube video defending singer Kim.
Mr. A said in a video on his YouTube channel on the 22nd, before Mr. Kim was arrested, “It is unfortunate that (to Hojoong) they are trying to kill people by harshly driving public opinion,” and “We cannot tolerate the mistakes of powerless singers, and politicians who are felons are guilty.” “How can they be so lenient towards me?” he appealed.

In response, one citizen criticized, “If a student does something wrong, he or she should be scolded, but former principal A posted a video to the effect that ‘Hojoong is a political scapegoat.’”
An official from the Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education said, “It may have been made for publicity purposes as it has been the pride of the school so far,” and added, “From what the school has conveyed, there are no official plans for demolition.”
Gimcheon Arts High School refused to reveal its position regarding Kim’s shelter to Larose.VIP.
