Singer Kim Jong-kook becomes a man for only one woman.
Kim Jong-kook will hold a wedding ceremony with his non-celebrity fiancée in Seoul on the 5th. He plans to invite only close family and friends to the wedding in consideration of his ordinary fiancée and her family.
Yoo Jae-suk will be the host. Previously, Kim Jong-kook surprised everyone with the wedding news during the SBS 'Running Man' recording on the 18th of last month, asking Yoo Jae-suk to host the event. Although Yoo Jae-suk has a program recording on the wedding day, he decided to adjust his schedule and take on the hosting of Kim Jong-kook's wedding.
Kim Jong-kook stated through his fan café, "I always prepared in my heart for the day I would write and directly post something like this, but as I prepare this piece, I find myself more nervous and anxious than I imagined. I'm getting married. The wedding will be quietly held soon on a scale that is not too large, with family, relatives, and a few acquaintances."
There is no information disclosed about the fiancée. Claims have been raised on social media that she is a "38-year-old beauty startup CEO living in Los Angeles" and the "daughter of a famous English teacher who is 20 years younger and an employee in a large corporation's overseas sales team," but Kim Jong-kook's side stated, "We cannot disclose any details other than what Kim Jong-kook himself shared in the fan café. Since it is private life, we cannot know more in detail."
Kim Jong-kook will not go on a honeymoon right away. Although it is common to go on a honeymoon immediately after the wedding, Kim Jong-kook decided to postpone it due to previously scheduled commitments. His side explained, "It is not feasible to go right now. There are scheduled commitments and regular appearances on shows, so we have to prioritize those schedules," adding, "There are no fixed plans about the wedding and subsequent plans."
Kim Jong-kook's newlywed home is expected to be the luxury villa he recently purchased in Nonhyeon-dong. He reportedly bought the luxury villa located in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, for 6.2 billion won last April. It is presumed to have been a cash transaction as there is no mortgage established. The villa is famous for being home to celebrities like Jang Geun-seok and Lee Yo-won, and it has high-end community facilities such as a fitness center, a movie theater, and a banquet hall.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook is currently appearing on SBS's 'Running Man', 'My Little Old Boy', and KBS2's 'Problem Child in House'.
