Singer and broadcaster Kim Jong-kook's first post on social media since his wedding is drawing attention just one day after the ceremony.
On the 6th, Kim Jong-kook uploaded a photo along with a short message saying, 'Thank you very much.' The photo shows boxing equipment gifted by a sports brand. This is the first post made right after the wedding, and although it looks like an everyday update, it caught attention with his distinctive style.
Earlier, on the 5th, Kim Jong-kook tied the knot with his non-celebrity fiancée at a hotel in Gangnam, Seoul. The ceremony was hosted by his long-time friend Yoo Jae-suk, and it was a strictly private wedding, attended only by family and close friends. Becoming a 49-year-old late-bloomer groom, the wedding proceeded under tight security reminiscent of a movie like '007 Operation.' They thoroughly blocked any potential exposure of the bride's identity, as well as any possibility of guest's social media exposure or filming, leading to reactions that labeled it as 'the most secure wedding ever.'
Although it was a rapid wedding announcement made just over two weeks later, very little information was known publicly. Therefore, Kim Jong-kook's first post on social media after the wedding naturally drew significant attention. However, his choice was different. Unlike typical celebrities who share wedding photos or couple shots, Kim Jong-kook uploaded a photo of boxing equipment with a thank-you message in a style characteristic of 'Jim Jong-kook.'
Ultimately, this can be interpreted as a simple gift confirmation shot, while also expressing gratitude to those who congratulated him on his marriage. At the same time, it reinforces Kim Jong-kook's image of diligence and consistent exercise, eliciting responses from fans saying, 'That's so Kim Jong-kook.'
Kim Jong-kook, who has been loved for a long time with various titles and popularity, including as a member of Turbo who swept the music industry in his debut, the capable individual from SBS's 'Running Man,' and the sentimental figure from 'My Little Old Boy,' his marriage and first social media upload go beyond simply sharing daily life, leaving another special resonance with the public.
