Singer Kim Jong-kuk announced he will marry a non-celebrity on the 5th of next month, and past traces of his romance captured at his home are receiving renewed attention.
According to entertainment industry sources on the 19th, Kim Jong-kuk is planning a small wedding in a certain location in Seoul, inviting only family and close acquaintances. It is reported that only colleagues he has built relationships with through entertainment activities will be invited to the wedding.
In this context, a video that was released in 2022 on the YouTube channel 'Jim Jong-kuk' is being re-examined online. At that time, Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Seok-jin visited Kim Jong-kuk's house and headed to the kitchen, saying they were hungry. Kim Jong-kuk then surprised everyone by saying, "Would you like some gimbap? I made it myself," to which Yoo Jae-suk questioned in disbelief, "You made it yourself?" Kim Jong-kuk hurriedly clarified, "No, my younger staff made it."
However, Yoo Jae-suk soon picked up on the origin of the gimbap. He asked, "Eun-jeong, right? Why is Eun-jeong making gimbap for you on the weekend?" Kim Jong-kuk replied, "I brought what was left over from my home. Since I live alone, she occasionally takes care of me." When Kim Jong-kuk said, "It was really Eun-jeong who made it," Ji Seok-jin joked, "There's a woman giving you gimbap. It can't be Eun-jeong," which made everyone laugh.
In the scenes from the video, Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Seok-jin seemed to have already discovered traces of the prospective bride at Kim Jong-kuk's home, leading fans to make various speculations. Especially in a scene where Yoo Jae-suk held up a candle shaped like the number '27' to tease Kim Jong-kuk, everyone present burst into laughter. Kim Jong-kuk exclaimed, "Do I have to meet someone at 27 years old?" to which Ji Seok-jin quipped, "Then, are you saying 72 years old?" causing even more laughter.
This video has rapidly spread across online communities and social media in conjunction with the news of Kim Jong-kuk's marriage. Internet users expressed their curiosity about the prospective bride with reactions such as, "Wow, he has been quietly preparing for this for three years already," "There were traces of a romance at Kim Jong-kuk's house that fans couldn't see," and "Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Seok-jin have already picked up on it."
