Kim Jong-kook's Post-Marriage Soccer Obsession Revealed in 'GYM JONG KOOK' Video

Singer Kim Jong-kook is garnering attention for his unwavering passion for soccer, even after getting married.

A video titled 'Next up, GYM JONG KOOK CLASSIC...?' was uploaded on his YouTube channel 'GYM JONG KOOK' on the 2nd. In the clip, Kim Jong-kook visited a bodybuilding competition to cheer on the athletes and explained why his company became the main sponsor for the event.

He stated, "I came to show you how domestic bodybuilding competitions unfold," adding, "Thanks to the many subscribers who love bodybuilding, this is my first time participating as a sponsor."

While looking around the venue, in response to a staff member's comment about him seeming to have lost weight, Kim Jong-kook humorously remarked, "I haven't been able to go play soccer recently. Since becoming a married man, soccer..."

He couldn't hide his strong desire for the sport, exclaiming, "There's a main event today, but I have to go play soccer. I really can't live like this." He further explained, "Last week, soccer was actually canceled because of my schedule," adding, "I had to make official greetings to family after returning from a trip, which overlapped, so I couldn't attend."

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook married a non-celebrity woman on September 5th in a highly secretive wedding.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically to Kim Jong-kook's enduring soccer passion, with comments like 'Jong-kook hyung can't give up soccer,' 'Even after marriage, you have to play soccer,' and 'I want to see you back in the game quickly!'.
