Singer Kim Jong-kook expressed frustration while reacting to a photo posted by bodybuilder-turned-broadcaster Ma Sun-ho, saying, "I'm not a celebrity who caused a social controversy...".
On the 21st, a video titled 'We need to unite... (Feat. Chanyeol, Ma Sun-ho, Choi Han-jin)' was uploaded to Kim Jong-kook's YouTube channel 'Jim Jong-kook.'
In the video, Kim Jong-kook opened by saying, "We need to hold a hearing for (issue maker) Ma Sun-ho. We discussed for about 20 minutes why (Ma Sun-ho) might have done that."
The story goes like this. Ma Sun-ho posted a photo taken with BTS member Jungkook at the gym, but deliberately released only the picture of him and Jungkook, excluding one taken with Kim Jong-kook.
Kim Jong-kook said, "We talked about this for several days. Ma Sun-ho took a picture with Jungkook. Clearly, we took a picture together with the three of us," and added, "I don't ask to take pictures whether Taehyung or Jungkook comes (out of consideration). But Ma Sun-ho said, 'Hyung, let's take a picture.' So we took a friendly picture together. But only the two were posted on Instagram," raising doubts.
While saying, "Then I would understand if I caused a social controversy," he made everyone laugh.
In response, Ma Sun-ho provided an explanation. He said, "At that time, we took two pictures: one with three of us and one with just the two of us. I asked Jungkook if I could post it, and he kindly agreed. However, one had Jungkook wearing a mask, and the other was open. I was worried about the exposure."
In turn, Kim Jong-kook stated, "It was not Jungkook who made the decision in the end," clearly indicating that it was Ma Sun-ho who unilaterally decided to exclude the picture with Kim Jong-kook from the two-shot. Laughter erupted in the room.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook has become a topic of discussion as he announced his marriage to a non-celebrity on the 5th of next month. Kim Jong-kook personally shared the marriage news by posting a handwritten letter on his official fan cafe 'Papitus.' In the letter, he said, "I always prepared in my heart for the day when I would finally write this and share it, but now that I am actually writing it, I am more nervous and excited than I imagined. I am getting married."
