Singer Kim Jong-kook has finally joined the ranks of 'married men' as he celebrates his 30th anniversary debut. Comments showing interest in having a second child have also drawn renewed attention.
On the 18th, Kim Jong-kook announced his marriage news through an autographed letter shared on his official fan café. He stated, "I had prepared myself mentally to write such a letter someday, but now that I am actually writing it, I am more nervous and shaken than I imagined. I am getting married." He conveyed his honest feelings to his fans.
He also shared that "this year marks my 30th anniversary debut, and although I haven't been able to make the album I wanted to, I have found my other half," indicating a major change in his life. He revealed that the wedding will be quietly held with only family and close acquaintances invited, and he added, "It's late, but I feel fortunate to be going this way. I will make an effort to live well."
He did not forget to express his gratitude to the fans who have supported him for a long time. Kim Jong-kook stated, "Thanks to you, my fans, I am getting married and am able to start a new challenge in my life. I will continue to strive to be a hardworking Kim Jong-kook in the future."
However, his past comments have also gained renewed attention following the marriage announcement. Recently, a video titled "How far are we going up?" was uploaded on Kim Jong-kook's YouTube channel 'Jim Jong-kook'. In the video, Kim Jong-kook is seen traveling with his brothers to undergo a sperm test, where he candidly shares his wish for natural conception.
Kim Jong-kook opened up, saying, "Now that I am close to 50, I wonder if it might be too late." When asked by Showry, "Are you considering natural conception, or do you plan on receiving assistance from a clinic?" he replied, "It would be wonderful if it could happen naturally. It would be less burdensome for a woman. I have heard that in vitro fertilization is quite tough for women, so if possible, naturally... with the powerful force of strong sperm!"
Fans and internet users have reacted warmly to his candid confession. Comments such as, "Thinking about natural conception... what a responsible husband he is," "The marriage announcement is great, but it's refreshing to gain insight into Kim Jong-kook's realistic concerns," and "He certainly does not miss out on emphasizing strong sperm power, haha" have been flooding in. Some netizens have even sent encouragement, saying, "It's impressive how he shows a transparent side to fans."
With this marriage, Kim Jong-kook is opening a new chapter in his life, receiving warm support from his fans.
