Singer and broadcaster Kim Jong-kook held a wedding under unprecedented security, showcasing his true 'manly' side.
Kim Jong-kook tied the knot with his non-celebrity fiancée at a hotel in Gangnam, Seoul, on the afternoon of 5th. Born in 1976, he is 49 years old this year and, as a late-blooming newlywed, quietly held the ceremony, inviting only family and a few close friends. His long-time friend Yoo Jae-suk officiated the event.
However, this wedding was indeed reminiscent of a '007 operation.' The identity of the fiancée, along with the date, time, and location, were kept strictly confidential, to the extent that even the members of 'Running Man' found out just before the event. Ji Suk-jin reportedly said, 'Someone like you should be doing independence movements,' expressing his amazement. In fact, no celebrity guests were permitted, nor were there any social media reviews or television filming, making it a wedding with unprecedented security.
A representative from Kim Jong-kook's side also confirmed, 'While the marriage is true, there is nothing we can reveal about the fiancée. It was a small ceremony attended only by family and close friends,' emphasizing their commitment to security.
Under these circumstances, attention was focused on the first SNS upload after the wedding. On the 6th, Kim Jong-kook posted a photo along with the message, 'Thank you very much' on his account. The photo featured boxing equipment gifted from a sports brand A, and fans responded with, 'As expected, it's a certification shot typical of Kim Jong-kook,' expressing amusement. By revealing exercise equipment instead of a lavish wedding photo shoot, evaluations indicate that it showcased his usual image.
The reactions from internet users are also enthusiastic. 'The impenetrable security to protect his wife and family shows he is a true man,' 'Kim Jong-kook, even his wedding is in his own style,' 'Thanking with exercise equipment is so typical of him,' and 'Not showing the bride's face is still quite impressive,' are some of the positive responses. Some even remarked, 'If it's this far, it's the ultimate in consideration for the bride.'
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook will not go on a honeymoon right after the wedding and is expected to show a new side of 'newlywed Kim Jong-kook' through his actively managed YouTube channel and SBS 'Running Man.'
