"The son of Miwoo-sae" singer Kim Jong-kook, who was always asked "When will you get married?", finally played the wedding march. But his wedding was literally like an espionage operation. It turned out that his wife wanted it that way, drawing attention.
On the 11th, the YouTube channel JibJongGuk posted a video titled "The day the tiger gets married...(Feat. Running Man, Dragon Club, Jonathan, Kang Hoon, Joo Woo-jae, Seo Jang-hoon, Shori, etc.)." The video captured Kim Jong-kook visiting the office just before announcing his marriage and the reactions of acquaintances stunned by the surprise news.
When Kim Jong-kook said, "I'm getting married," the staff couldn't believe it, saying, "Don't lie, isn't this a hidden camera?" Even his manager was surprised, saying, "This is the first I'm hearing of it." He later guessed, "Thinking back, I did say at the congratulatory song that I would share news of a wedding 'as soon as possible,'" to which Kim Jong-kook laughed and said, "That was a hint. I even talked about it on broadcasts."
Above all, the reason Kim Jong-kook quietly prepared the wedding was that "the person who would become his wife wanted it." He said, "She felt burdened by a noisy situation, so we prepared as quietly as possible," revealing his consideration for his wife.
He also shared the marriage news with Running Man members that day. Kim Jong-kook told Yoo Jae-suk, "Come have a meal on Friday, actually I'm getting married," and Yoo Jae-suk was shocked, saying, "Suddenly? Don't lie." Yet he added, "I thought there was some intent when he was buying a house, and sure enough," reading the "big picture." Haha said, "To think sister-in-law actually existed," with emotion, and Yang Se-chan reacted, "This is one of the top shocks I've heard this year," saying it was hard to believe and adding, "It wouldn't be strange even if he got married; there were signs, he even moved house."
A spectacle unfolded during a video call with Joo Woo-jae as well. Joo Woo-jae joked, "Are you drunk?" at Kim Jong-kook's confession, then said, "I thought it was 100% a lie but it was real. No wonder you moved to a bigger house, I wondered why you were counting the number of trees," causing uproarious laughter.
On the wedding day, while the surrounding staff nervously said, "I'm all trembling," Kim Jong-kook remained relaxed, saying, "I just feel like I'm going to a schedule." In front of the cameras he offered sincere thanks, saying, "Thank you very much for the many congratulations. Due to various circumstances, we prepared quietly, so I apologize for not being able to inform everyone sufficiently. But I am grateful to everyone who supported us."
Netizen reactions were also heated over the sudden news of Kim Jong-kook's "espionage wedding." Comments included, "A surprise announcement true to Kim Jong-kook," "I thought he only worked out, but he's a romantic in love," "Even the manager didn't know, the security level is amazing," and "I'm more curious since sister-in-law is a private citizen," expressing surprise and congratulations.
Kim Jong-kook, who became a "sold-out man" on "The sons of Miwoo-sae," draws fans' attention as he begins the second act of his life.
