Kim Jong-kook directly addressed the switch of his honeymoon video to private.
On the 16th, a video titled "This is not SM Town... (Feat. U-Know Yunho, Chanyeol, Yuri, Suho, Ma Sun-ho)" was posted on the YouTube channel "Kim Jong-kook GYM JONG KOOK."
In the video, Kim Jong-kook mentioned that the previously released honeymoon vlog had been deleted.
He said, "It felt insufficient to post a short notice about why I took down the last video, and while discussing how to inform people, ridiculous articles started popping up one by one claiming I took the video down to hide an unrecognizable black silhouette in it; I watched that story, which anyone would find nonsensical, spread as if it were true."
He added, "In life, you can sometimes get thoroughly tangled up or face unfair situations out of the blue. There have been so many distorted stories about the wedding that I am upset and saddened, but I think it is my fault for giving grounds for that, and I will take what I should take and just keep my head down, look straight ahead, and live diligently and faithfully as I have been."
He also added, "You've watched me for quite a long time in your own way, and I am not that out-of-my-mind of a guy."
Kim Jong-kook recently released a video showing his honeymoon. It showed him working out in a hotel gym, and in some scenes, another person's silhouette briefly appeared. It was suspected to be Kim's wife and drew attention, and Kim switched the video to private without a separate notice.
