Popular YouTuber Daud Kim, formerly known as Jay Kim, has fulfilled his dream of building a mosque in Incheon, South Korea. 

In a heartfelt video, Kim showed the stages of the mosque’s construction on Yeongjong Island and introduced the team who helped him.

Kim expressed his gratitude and joy on Instagram, writing, “Alhamdulillah I finally did it. With your help, I made a home of Allah (SWT). Thank you.” 

He also encouraged his followers to support his mission and volunteer, highlighting the community-driven nature of the project. He shared moments from the mosque’s opening, where he and other worshippers offered prayers.

However, the journey to build the mosque faced many challenges. Kim bought the land for $136,500, funded mostly by donations. However, he faced opposition from local residents in Incheon, which led to the landowner cancelling the contract.

Despite these obstacles, Daud Kim remained determined. He overcame the controversy and local resistance, successfully building the mosque. His perseverance has been praised by his followers and supporters, who have seen his dedication to creating a place of worship.

The former K-pop star, known as Jay Kim, converted to Islam in 2020 and changed his name to Daud Kim
