Singer Kim Jae-joong revealed a story about his ex-girlfriend he almost married for the first time on air.
In the episode of KBS2's Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant that aired on the 25th, Kim Jae-joong visited his parents' home.
Kim Jae-joong saw the empty refrigerator and could not hide his surprise, asking, "Are you living on this?" He expressed filial piety by saying, "I will fill the side dishes for you" for his mother, who was unable to eat properly due to illness.
During the broadcast, Kim Jae-joong shared the news of his nephew's birth, saying, "When the baby comes out, I will really be a grandfather," to which his father responded with a pleased smile, "You are already a grandfather." His mother cautiously opened the conversation, saying, "I was going to avoid talking about marriage with you, but shouldn't you get married now?"
Kim Jae-joong mentioned, "I really had a girlfriend" while discussing his past relationships, and his mother surprised everyone by asking, "Is it the girl who came to our house?" Kim Jae-joong confessed, "We even had a formal introduction between our families back then," adding, "It was when I was very young, in middle school."
He then shared that, "During the PC communication era, we became friends through chatting and I traveled from Gongju to Daegu for our first date at an amusement park," revealing a romantic tale from his school days like a movie. However, they ultimately broke up. His mother added, "You can reach out to her now," leaving a surprise message for her from 20 years ago.
Kim Jae-joong shyly said, "Let's stop talking about marriage for now," but his mother humorously replied, "Is there anything else to say to a 40-year-old bachelor?" Kim Jae-joong jokingly insisted, "I'm not a bachelor yet. I will focus on cooking," which made the panelists laugh, commenting, "If he is a husband who can cook well, his wife will be comfortable," adding humor to the love story of the bachelor Kim Jae-joong.
Meanwhile, Kim Jae-joong recently gained the title of "the first grandfather among idols (?)" while announcing the news of his nephew's birth.
