Kim Jong-kook then explained, 'I thought it was for me,' which drew laughter.

The mood shifted abruptly in the preview that followed. Kim Jong-kook hurriedly called the members before the recording. Ha Ha, Ji Suk-jin, and Yoo Jae-suk expressed surprise, asking, 'Is it real? Is it fake?' While Ha Ha exclaimed, 'I'm so happy,' overwhelmed with emotion.

Notably, Yoo Jae-suk suddenly joked, asking Song Ji-hyo, 'Are you crying, Ji-hyo?' It was a particularly meaningful moment as they were once referred to as the show's iconic sweethearts. Song Ji-hyo candidly revealed, 'Oh, I got a bit emotional,' and said, 'I saved it in my notes because I liked it so much,' surprising the other members.

The star of the day, Kim Jong-kook, confidently declared to the camera, 'I'm getting married. I will live happily,' making his marriage announcement. The broadcast screen displayed the caption 'Bachelors of Solitude Kim Jong-kook's Marriage,' receiving congratulations from viewers.

Internet users also reacted saying, 'Ji-hyo seems really emotional… it's nostalgic that they were once a sweet romance line,' 'Kim Jong-kook is finally getting married… they should definitely do a wedding special on Running Man,' 'The high-five was missed, but Ji-hyo's reaction was so cute haha,' and 'Given Jong-kook's personality, he probably wanted to keep it quiet, but Ji-hyo's emotions made it even more touching.'
