In the episode of 'Running Man,' Kim Jong-kook's plastic house (?) was revealed, shocking viewers with its state that resembled a kingdom of trash.
On the 23rd, we headed to Kim Jong-kook's house during the broadcast of SBS entertainment show 'Running Man.'
On that day, Yoo Jae-suk noted, 'It's been a while since I visited Kim Jong-kook's house two years ago' as he headed to Kim Jong-kook's place. Right upon arrival, there was a million-won air purifier at his actual front door that had not even been unwrapped. Various luxury items, still in their packaging, were scattered around. In particular, mountains of clothes that resembled a garbage dump and disposable side dishes in the refrigerator shocked everyone, but what drew the most attention was the collection of plastic bags.
Thus, a hearing (?) began. When asked whether he had been collecting plastic bags on the balcony, Kim Jong-kook said, 'I recycle the bags when separating garbage.' Particularly regarding the side dish containers, when Kim Jong-kook remarked, 'To throw away, I need to use water to wash them,' everyone gasped, asking, 'At this point, we are curious about the utilities bill.'
Yoo Jae-suk asked, 'Are you risking your life over plastic bags? Why do you have so many?' discovering another pile of plastic bags and added, 'This cannot be resolved in a day,' while everyone commented, 'This is the kind of house that would appear on “Wonder of the World.”' Finding a bundle of waste disposal bags, Yoo Jae-suk said, 'This is money; this is a rich collection of waste disposal bags,' and remarked, 'Now you are The Man from Nowhere.' Ha Ha agreed, saying, 'This is the famous plastic house.'
Moreover, there was also a pile of moving boxes. Ji Ye-eun joked, 'But I can’t find a trace of a woman; it looks like he really has no girlfriend,' causing a burst of laughter.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook became the subject of forced marriage rumors through the broadcast. On 'Running Man,' he was often teased by members saying, 'You have a girlfriend,' and 'You're getting married; you're looking for a house.' Kim Jong-kook did not deny them outright, further fueling the dating and marriage rumors.
In particular, the so-called 'LA wife' rumor has followed him around. It’s a longstanding rumor that Kim Jong-kook allegedly has a wife and child in Los Angeles, USA. Notably, to tease Kim Jong-kook, close friends like actor Cha Tae-hyun and comedian Yoo Jae-suk also contributed to the conversation, leaving him flustered.
