Singer Kim Jong-kook, who thrilled the entire nation with his "Of course" line, is getting married. This marks the end of his love line with Yoon Eun-hye, which lasted for 20 years, and it's time for Yoo Jae-suk, who has teased about this, to take off the 'mangbung lens'.
Kim Jong-kook will hold his wedding with his non-celebrity fiancée on the 5th in a location in Seoul. The ceremony will be private, with only close acquaintances and family members invited to accommodate the general public.
Through his fan cafe, Kim Jong-kook said, "There will come a day when I can write and directly post such a message, and although I've always prepared in my heart for this, now that I'm actually writing it, I'm more nervous and shaken than I imagined. I'm getting married. The wedding will be held quietly with family, relatives, and a few acquaintances in a modest scale in the near future."
Kim Jong-kook first revealed his marriage news to the members during the recording of SBS 'Running Man' on the 18th of last month. About 18 days before the wedding, Kim Jong-kook surprised everyone with the announcement and asked Yoo Jae-suk to host the ceremony. Yoo Jae-suk explained the awkward situation, saying, "Jong-kook asked me to host, but I found out I have a recording that day. So I will try to advance the recording schedule somehow."
Since little is known about Kim Jong-kook's fiancée, there has been much speculation about her identity. Claims have been made on social media, such as that she is a 38-year-old beauty startup CEO residing in Los Angeles or the daughter of a famous English teacher 20 years younger than Kim Jong-kook, who works in a large corporation's overseas sales team, but no confirmation has been provided. Kim Jong-kook's side stated, "Aside from what Kim Jong-kook revealed in his direct message to the fan cafe, there is nothing more we can inform you. This is a personal matter, so we do not have further details."
Quietly nurturing their love, Kim Jong-kook will hold a private wedding and embark on a new chapter of his life. As he is getting married, it is also time to take off the 'mangbung lens' that has always been associated with Yoon Eun-hye. The love line between Yoon Eun-hye and Kim Jong-kook began in 'X-Man,' which aired in 2005, and the scene where Kim Jong-kook covered Yoon Eun-hye's ears and shouted "Of course" is still mentioned even after 20 years.
In the past, Yoo Jae-suk has shown the happiest smiles when mentioning Yoon Eun-hye in relation to Kim Jong-kook. Recently, Yoon Eun-hye appeared on Park Na-rae's YouTube channel 'Na-rae's Meal' and revealed that she had been single for 13 years, drawing attention, but with Kim Jong-kook's marriage, their 20-year-long love line is set to fade into history.
Meanwhile, there have been claims that Kim Jong-kook will have to leave SBS 'My Ugly Duckling' due to his marriage. However, SBS has stated, "There are no changes," remaining tight-lipped.
