Singer Kim Jong-kook has ended his 49 years of single life and has finally become a married man. However, this wedding is truly a "top-secret ceremony." From the bride's identity to the wedding preparations, everything has been kept strictly hidden, leading internet users to react that "this level of secrecy is like that of a freedom fighter."
Kim Jong-kook tied the knot with his non-celebrity fiancée at a certain place in Seoul on the 5th. To accommodate the bride and both families, the wedding was held behind closed doors, with only a small number of relatives and close friends in attendance. It was a super-fast wedding march, just 18 days after the announcement, but the only external person known before the ceremony was the close friend who officiated, Yoo Jae-suk.
Earlier, Kim Jong-kook personally announced his marriage news through "Running Man," stating, "I am getting married now. I will live happily and diligently," he noted. However, it was revealed that even the members of "Running Man" were completely unaware of it until the day of the event, surprising everyone. Ji Suk-jin joked, "If you had been born earlier, you would have been a freedom fighter. You keep your mouth shut until the last minute," while Yoo Jae-suk confessed, "I found out only after being asked to officiate. I somehow changed my recording schedule to attend."
Kim Jong-kook has been quietly preparing for his wedding. He left a handwritten letter on the official fan cafe, stating, "I am getting married. This year marks my 30th anniversary since my debut, and instead of an album, I created my other half. Although it is quite late, isn't it fortunate that I can go like this?" However, he did not disclose any information about the bride.
Regarding the bride's identity, various speculations surfaced, such as "she's a CEO 20 years younger" and "she's the daughter of a famous English teacher," but Kim Jong-kook only responded, "She is not involved in the entertainment industry. She is a completely different person from me." The agency also remarked, "We have nothing to say other than the post on the fan cafe," keeping silent.
The thorough security measures have drawn a strong reaction from internet users. Online comments continued with remarks like, "Kim Jong-kook, indeed a freedom fighter," "Wow! This is what a true private wedding looks like," and "Kim Jong-kook, who kept even the bride's face hidden, is amazing."
