Kim Jong-kook's Pre-Wedding Jitters: Proposing Still on His Mind on 'My Little Old Boy'

Singer Kim Jong-kook has captured viewers' attention by revealing his lingering thoughts about proposing, even just a week before his wedding.

Appearing on the SBS entertainment show 'My Little Old Boy' (My Little Old Boy) on the 14th, Kim Jong-kook candidly addressed various curiosities surrounding his upcoming marriage.

Kim Jong-kook has consistently upheld a principle of strictly protecting his private life and family since his debut. His wedding was conducted with such tight security, involving guests, venue, and schedule kept under wraps, earning him the nickname 'Operation 007'. The ceremony notably excluded celebrity guests, social media updates, and broadcast filming, setting a new standard for privacy.

However, one week before the broadcast date, fellow cast member Kim Heechul playfully questioned, "No one has seen the bride yet, is it a lie?" and added, "There are rumors you're marrying an AI." Kim Jong-kook responded, "No, I'm really getting married," and when asked about starting a family, he shared, "We'll start right away. Given my age, I'm thinking of just one child, and I'll be grateful if it's a healthy baby."

When asked about his thoughts on his wife, Kim Jong-kook shyly replied, "I wonder if my wife feels the same way?" drawing laughter from the audience.

Most surprisingly, Kim Jong-kook admitted he hadn't proposed yet. Kim Dong-hyun advised, "You must do it. Given your personality, you might feel awkward, but it's essential. People might ask if you've proposed."

Kim Jong-kook officially announced his marriage and indeed tied the knot with a non-celebrity woman on September 5th.

Beyond his music career, Kim Jong-kook is renowned as a fitness enthusiast and has a strong presence in various variety shows, maintaining consistent popularity. His rigorous self-discipline and healthy lifestyle serve as an inspiration to many fans. His recent marriage has garnered widespread congratulations and support for his new chapter.
