Singer Kim Jong-kook, who is four days away from a wedding that should be celebrated, has become embroiled in a controversy over 'causing inconvenience'. Due to his sudden announcement of marriage, he was unable to secure an emcee, and asking Yoo Jae-suk to host on the broadcast before the 18th raised eyebrows.
On the 31st of last month, Kim Jong-kook announced his marriage news through his grants in SBS 'Running Man'.
The recording took place on the 18th of last month. Kim Jong-kook informed the members about his marriage 10 minutes before the recording, and Ji Suk-jin was surprised, saying, "Half of them don't know, right?" Even Yoo Jae-suk said, "I just found out today," indicating that even Kim Jong-kook's closest friends were unaware of the marriage.
The person who found himself in a difficult position was Yoo Jae-suk. This was because Kim Jong-kook asked him to emcee after the surprise marriage announcement. Yoo Jae-suk said, "Jong-kook asked me to host, but when I checked that day, there was a recording. So I had to somehow adjust the recording schedule," chiding Kim Jong-kook.
Later, while moving, Yoo Jae-suk said, "I was surprised this morning. I thought it was a joke," displaying a reaction that seemed baffled by Kim Jong-kook's marriage announcement. In particular, Yoo Jae-suk said, "Being asked to host a wedding like this so suddenly is...", and Haha also commented, "I have a schedule with Director Jang. No matter what happens, I have to go," unable to hide his flustered expression.
Articles related to Kim Jong-kook's marriage also came out on the morning of the 18th, and he announced it around the same time. With Kim Jong-kook's wedding scheduled for September 5th, he extended invitations to guests through the broadcast while also asking Yoo Jae-suk to host, which was just 18 days before.
Especially since Kim Jong-kook's wedding on September 5th falls on a Friday, which is a weekday. Most of the participants who are with 'Running Man' may have prior recording or personal schedules, and not only did he unilaterally announce the marriage and ask them to attend, but he also attempted to secure them as emcees.
In response, internet users frowned. They commented, "Everyone must have their schedules, so shouldn't he have told us in advance?" and, "Yoo Jae-suk is not a free person," as well as, "At the very least, if he was going to ask for someone to host, he should have confided in Yoo Jae-suk."
With only four days to go until the wedding, Kim Jong-kook is facing criticism during a time when he should be celebrated. Especially painful is that many people have supported his marriage until now. The controversy he brought upon himself is disappointing for someone who has always been cautious.
