Singer Kim Jong-kook's marriage announcement surprised even 'Running Man.' The production team and the cast were unaware of the marriage news until it was announced, and 'Running Man' decided to air the filming segment a week early on August 31.
According to OSEN's report on the 18th, 'Running Man' decided to reveal the details of Kim Jong-kook's marriage announcement, which was scheduled to air on September 7, a week early on August 31.
This decision was made due to the strong reactions following Kim Jong-kook's marriage announcement. To satisfy viewers curious about Kim Jong-kook's announcement, the production team decided to release the episode ahead of schedule.
On the day of the 'Running Man' recording, the production team noted in a call with OSEN, "The atmosphere at the scene was similarly surprised. Chief director Choi Hyung-in also received the marriage news just before the recording, and the cast was also shocked by Mr. Kim Jong-kook's marriage announcement."
However, the production team expressed caution, stating, "Mr. Kim Jong-kook was very careful in announcing the marriage news, so he did not discuss the wedding or honeymoon plans. We haven't heard about that either. It would be best to see the specific details through the broadcast."
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook officially announced his marriage by posting a handwritten letter on the official fan café 'Papitus.' He said, "I always prepared in my heart for the day I would write and post something like this, but as I prepared this letter, I found myself more nervous and excited than I imagined. I am getting married."
Kim Jong-kook added, "The wedding will be held quietly with family, relatives, and a few close friends in a scale that is not too large in the near future."
