Kim Jong-kook's Surprise Wedding Celebration Party Revealed on 'Running Man'! Cha Tae-hyun's Revelations Cause Sweat

A surprise wedding celebration party for the newlywed Kim Jong-kook is set to unfold.

Today (21st), SBS's entertainment program 'Running Man' will air an episode featuring a special event organized to celebrate Kim Jong-kook's marriage.

The recording, themed 'Pressing On to Celebrate Delegation,' showcased the members' collaborative efforts to simplify the celebration party. For Kim Jong-kook, who reportedly finds wedding celebrations somewhat awkward, the team united to eliminate party elements. Their dedication, even leading to water challenges fueled by affection for Kim Jong-kook, promised laughter and touching moments.

Members repeatedly plunged into water while aiming to move buoys to the target point, challenging themselves with cries of "Remember this day." However, the continuous failures of some members put Kim Jong-kook in a sweat. Attention is focused on whether Kim Jong-kook, as the final participant, can succeed in removing the remaining celebration party items.

Furthermore, close friend Cha Tae-hyun lived up to his reputation as 'Kim Jong-kook's expert mood-ripper.' Notably, he revealed behind-the-scenes stories related to Kim Jong-kook's wedding, even drawing his wife's face on his phone while in a moving vehicle, much to the amusement of the other members.

Before the drenched members, the final wedding celebration party venue exclusively for Kim Jong-kook is finally revealed. Curiosity is piqued as to how many items Kim Jong-kook will successfully eliminate and whether he can avoid the specific contraptions he dislikes.

Upon seeing the celebration venue, rumored but unseen until now, Kim Jong-kook reportedly shut his eyes tightly. What the final party setup held for him, and whether he could 'press on' and endure the celebration amidst members excited to tease him, will be confirmed in the final segment of 'Running Man' airing today at 6:10 PM KST.

Kim Jong-kook's marriage to a 3-year younger non-celebrity woman took place on December 26, 2023, after keeping his relationship private. Earlier, there were unfounded rumors about him marrying Yoon Eun-hye. He had expressed his feelings about his upcoming marriage on 'Running Man' prior to the ceremony.
