This year, 49-year-old singer and broadcaster Kim Jong-kook finally joins the ranks of married men before turning 50.
Kim Jong-kook revealed his marriage news by posting a handwritten letter on the official fan cafe on the morning of the 18th, saying, "I always prepared in my heart that I would someday write something like this, but as soon as I sit down to write, I feel more nervous and anxious than I imagined. I am getting married."
He added, "This year marks my 30th anniversary since my debut, but I haven't been able to make the album I wanted, but I have found my other half."
Kim Jong-kook said, "I plan to quietly proceed with the ceremony soon with just my family, relatives, and some close friends," and noted, "Although it's been a long time, how fortunate it is that I am going this way. I will work hard to live well."
In particular, he expressed his gratitude to his fans who have stood by him for many years, saying, "Thanks to you fans, I am getting married and embarking on a new challenge in life," and added, "I will become a Kim Jong-kook who works harder in the future."
Kim Jong-kook has recently attracted attention due to marriage-related issues. He caught people's eyes by preparing a newlywed home as if he were about to get married.
A month ago, in the SBS entertainment show "My Little Old Boy," Heo Kyung-hwan mentioned that Kim Jong-kook had recently bought a house. Heo Kyung-hwan said, "Didn't Jong-kook recently buy a house? Everyone is saying that he's preparing a newlywed home." In fact, it was revealed that Kim Jong-kook paid cash for a building worth 6.2 billion won in Gangnam, Seoul, which heated up the online discussions.
Regarding this, Kim Jong-kook initially held back his words and then acknowledged the marriage rumors, saying, "That's a true story. I have to prepare, don't I?" When Heo Kyung-hwan asked again, "Are you publicly introducing your girlfriend?" Kim Jong-kook smiled and said, "That's not it. But there has to be preparation for marriage."
However, a month later, this was confirmed to be true. Kim Jong-kook had prepared a newlywed home to actualize his married life. After quietly growing his love, Kim Jong-kook is set to begin his married life with a private wedding.
