Singer Kim Jong-kook is expected to move into a newlywed home worth 6.2 billion won after secretly holding a wedding. This fact alone has already attracted significant public interest.
Previously, on the 18th of last month, Kim Jong-kook posted a handwritten letter on his official fan cafe to personally announce his marriage news. He noted, "Although it is quite late, how fortunate it is to be going this way," and vowed, "I will strive to live well." Once this news broke, members of 'Running Man' were also shocked during a recording, expressing, "I can't believe it's really marriage!"
In particular, this wedding was held as an extremely private affair, inviting only immediate family and a very small number of close friends. Despite being a top star celebrating his 30th anniversary, no information about the invitations, wedding photos, or the ceremony venue was disclosed at all. To accommodate his non-celebrity bride, Kim Jong-kook insisted on a quiet wedding while blocking media exposure until the end.
As much as the marriage news stirred interest, the newlywed home also garnered attention. Kim Jong-kook recently purchased a luxury villa in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for 6.2 billion won in cash, reportedly setting up a new household with his wife. Previously, he had revealed on his YouTube channel that the house purchase was for the purpose of actual residence rather than investment, making it clear that this house has become their newlywed home.
In particular, his usual interest in interior design and furniture has heightened speculation about his marriage. As he is actually getting married, the atmosphere has turned towards paying attention to his newlywed home.
In response, internet users commented, "Wow, a newlywed home worth 6.2 billion after marriage!" and "Even Kim Jong-kook works hard, so I need to step up too," as well as, "I'm really curious about the wedding!" among various reactions.
Once a representative 'versatile entertainer' of the entertainment industry, Kim Jong-kook is now a head of a family. The public's interest is focused on his new start. Although some moments of private weddings are usually exposed through celebrities' social media, this wedding was thoroughly sealed off, leading many to react, "It seems that there has never been a wedding like this before."
Meanwhile, it is reported that Kim Jong-kook has temporarily postponed his honeymoon due to broadcasting schedules. Fans expressed surprise and support for Kim Jong-kook, who continues to be active in shows like 'Running Man' while balancing marriage and work.
