Kim Jong-kook Shocks Fans with Surprise Marriage Announcement!

Singer Kim Jong-kook, long known as the 'son' of 'My Little Old Boy' (Miwoosai) and seemingly far from settling down, is officially joining the ranks of the married! He recently revealed details about his fiancée, a topic even his manager was unaware of, and promised to address rampant marriage rumors on the show.

A YouTube video uploaded on the 'Jim Jong Kook' channel on the 11th, titled 'The Day the Tiger Gets Married... (Feat. Running Man, Yong Ddak Club, Jonathan, Kang Hoon, Joo Woo-jae, Seo Jang-hoon, Shorry, etc.)', captured the singer's joyful announcement and the surprised reactions of his acquaintances.

Kim Jong-kook cautiously shared, "I'm getting married," to which his staff responded with disbelief, asking, "Are you kidding?" When questioned about his partner, he clarified, "She's a civilian, not a celebrity." He further explained the suddenness of the decision, joking about the 'speeding ticket' rumors by saying, "A speeding ticket at my age is a blessing," eliciting laughter.

His friends expressed astonishment, with comments like, "I want to meet your wife!" and "I thought she was a character from your imagination." On the reason for the swift decision, Kim Jong-kook affectionately stated, "I'm doing it because I love her. What reason do you need?" He shyly added when asked about her strengths, "Everything is top-notch."

He also personally informed his 'Running Man' castmates. Yoo Jae-suk humorously remarked, "I had a feeling since you bought a house," and inquired if she worked in entertainment. Kim Jong-kook laughed it off, asking, "Why are you investigating? No." Haha was moved to tears, exclaiming, "The sister-in-law we jokingly called actually exists!" while others teased, "Is this a soulmate wedding?" or "Aren't you the bride?" Jonathan's question, "Is she the one Cha Tae-hyun talked about from LA?" was met with a denial, and Kim Jong-kook hinted, "She's younger." He revealed plans for a quiet, small wedding, surprising everyone with how secretly the arrangements were made, even from his manager.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically, with comments like, "Finally, one of the Miwoosai sons is graduating," "So typical of Kim Jong-kook to make a surprise announcement," "I thought he'd only exercise, but he's a romantic when it comes to love," and "I'm even more curious because his wife is a civilian."

Fans are eagerly anticipating how Kim Jong-kook, who has transitioned from the 'son' of Miwoosai to a married man, will build his new family. He's also set to address rumors, such as the 'LA businesswoman' speculation raised by Kim Hee-chul in a recent 'Miwoosai' preview, making his upcoming television appearance highly anticipated.

Born in 1977, Kim Jong-kook debuted in 1995 with the duo Turbo, making a significant mark on the music industry. He achieved considerable success as a solo artist with his powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence. Furthermore, through various variety shows like 'Running Man,' he earned the nickname 'Sparta' and solidified his status as an all-around entertainer.
