With the announcement of Kim Jong-kook's marriage news on 'Running Man,' past comments and videos from the members are being reevaluated. It is being discussed online as 'Kim Jong-kook marriage prediction' that Song Ji-hyo, as well as Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Seok-jin, noticed Kim Jong-kook's romantic relationship a year ago. However, they were shown to be unaware of the marriage itself.
On 18th, Kim Jong-kook made a surprise announcement about his marriage, saying, "I'm getting married," through his official fan cafe. Along with this news, past comments from Song Ji-hyo are gaining attention again.
Last June, when Song Ji-hyo appeared as a guest on Ji Seok-jin's YouTube channel, 'The Comfortable World,' she mentioned Kim Jong-kook as a friend of marriageable age, saying, "Jong-kook oppa has been in a rush lately." When Ji Seok-jin asked, "Doesn't Jong-kook not have a girlfriend?" Song Ji-hyo replied, "No, it seems like he does," shocking those around her. She analyzed that Kim Jong-kook has become more cheerful and less angry because of a romantic relationship, and Ji Seok-jin also agreed, saying, "That's right. He was laughing a lot while playing games with Kang Han-na recently."
Moreover, in a video released on YouTube channel 'Jim Jong-kook' in 2022, Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Seok-jin discovered signs of a romantic relationship at Kim Jong-kook's house. Although Kim Jong-kook explained that he offered the members kimbap because "I made it myself," when Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Why is Eunjung packing your kimbap for you?" Kim Jong-kook honestly revealed, "Since I live alone, sometimes she takes care of me." Ji Seok-jin jokingly said, "There's a woman giving you kimbap; it might not be Eunjung," making the scene erupt with laughter.
As this video and the comments from Song Ji-hyo, Yoo Jae-suk, and Ji Seok-jin coincide with the news of Kim Jong-kook's marriage, various reactions poured out among fans, such as "The Running Man members already found out," "Intuition is really amazing," and "I came back to watch the video again."
Nonetheless, it was revealed during the episode of 'Running Man' aired on the 24th that most members were unaware of the marriage news. Just before the recording, the members were confused, asking, "Is it real? Is it fake?" Ji Seok-jin confessed, "I still can't believe it," while the members couldn't hide their astonishment, exclaiming, "It's an exclusive story, shocking, shocking!"
When Ji Ye-eun suddenly asked Kim Jong-kook, "Will you get married?" the screen displayed a caption saying, 'Single man Kim Jong-kook gets married,' heating up the scene. Haha showed a reaction as if he was overwhelmed, saying, "I'm tearing up," while Yoo Jae-suk noted, "In fact, Haha also conveyed the marriage news to Jong-kook late. Jong-kook felt a lot of betrayal." Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Seok-jin also revealed that they learned about it only that morning, disclosing that everyone found out through the news that day. Yoo Jae-suk added, "There are still many who don't feel it. The staff really couldn't keep their mouths shut. Nobody knew Jong-kook was getting married," adding to the laughter.
