Kim Heechul & Mother Shocked by Kim Jong Kook's Marriage News on 'My Little Old Boy'
On the SBS entertainment show 'My Little Old Boy' (My Ugly Duckling), which aired on the 14th, Kim Heechul and his mother expressed their astonishment at Kim Jong Kook's recent marriage.
The episode featured Kim Jong Kook sharing how he's been teased by his married friends, with one telling him his life is over now that he's tied the knot. He humorously asked mixed martial artist Kim Dong Hyun if he ever considered returning to single life. Kim Dong Hyun emphatically replied that married life is incomparably better and he has no such thoughts, though he admitted to having minor arguments before marriage. When Kim Jong Kook questioned his happiness, Kim Dong Hyun simply smiled and affirmed his contentment.
Kim Heechul then revealed his and his mother's shock, stating they believed Kim Jong Kook would be the last of their group to marry. He particularly highlighted his mother's distress, as she now feels lonely being the only single original member left on the show. Kim Jong Kook offered Kim Heechul words of comfort and encouragement, displaying a calm demeanor that Kim Heechul humorously disliked. Despite this, Kim Heechul wished Kim Jong Kook eternal love.
Kim Heechul's mother echoed his sentiments, explaining that Kim Heechul had often said Kim Jong Kook would never get married, making the sudden news even more surprising. Host Seo Jang Hoon quipped that Kim Jong Kook is driven by a strong desire to marry, while Kim Heechul is focused on having fun, drawing laughter. Kim Heechul, still in disbelief, playfully speculated if the bride might be an AI, adding to the comedic moment.

Beyond his group Super Junior's activities, he is widely loved for his witty remarks and humor on various variety shows.
