Is the choice of 45-year-old newlywed Koyote Kim Jong-min love or a daily routine?
Kim Jong-min is getting married on the 20th at the Yeongbin Hall of the Shilla Hotel in Jangchung-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, to his 11-year-younger fiancée. The wedding will be held privately, inviting only family, relatives, and close friends, out of consideration for the non-celebrity fiancée.
A photo wall is expected to open before the wedding. Since the fiancée is a non-celebrity, Kim Jong-min will be standing alone at the photo wall for a brief interview and will share his thoughts. In particular, it is expected that guests attending the wedding will also stand at the photo wall to convey messages of support for Kim Jong-min.
Kim Jong-min announced his marriage on the KBS2 program "1 Night 2 Days Season 4," which aired on Jan. 12. It has been reported that he has been dating a businesswoman 11 years younger than him for about two years. He noted that Yoo Jae-seok will host the first half of the event, while Moon Sae-yoon and Cho Sae-ho will take on the second half. The congratulatory song celebrating Kim Jong-min's future will be performed by singers Lee Jeok and Lyn.
After the wedding, Kim Jong-min is said to be going on a honeymoon to France. While specific details of the honeymoon have not been disclosed, it is expected that he will seek approval from the programs he is participating in due to his marriage and honeymoon.
Interest is focused on whether Kim Jong-min will participate in "1 Night 2 Days" during this time. Since 2007, Kim Jong-min has been a living witness, history, and symbol of "1 Night 2 Days." Except for his military service as a social service agent, he has never missed participating for any reason, boasting the titles of "attendance king" and "perfect attender."
Despite his clumsy appearance, Kim Jong-min captivates viewers with an irresistible charm. He has received nationwide love while being part of KBS's flagship entertainment show and national program "1 Night 2 Days," and the news of his marriage has led to many congratulations from citizens during filming, indicating his popularity.
Given that Kim Jong-min has a deep connection with "1 Night 2 Days," it seems that he is finding it difficult to decide whether to participate in filming due to his honeymoon. According to confirmation from OSEN on the 19th, the "1 Night 2 Days" side and Kim Jong-min's side are coordinating his participation, as there is still time left for the honeymoon. There may be a break in his 18-year perfect attendance record due to the honeymoon, but it seems he is contemplating between work and love while spending his honeymoon with his beloved wife.
"1 Night 2 Days" plans to celebrate with a special broadcast on the day of Kim Jong-min's wedding. The broadcast on the 20th will feature Kim Jong-min's wedding and will showcase congratulatory messages from familiar faces who appeared on "1 Night 2 Days" and citizens from across the country. In particular, Kim Jong-min is expected to express his heartfelt feelings towards his parents, saying, "Mother, father, I'm getting married," which raises curiosity.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-min gained recognition as a dancer for Uhm Jung-hwa before debuting in 2000 with the group Koyote.
