Kim Jong-kook Left Speechless by Unexpected Street Marriage Advice on 'Running Man'

South Korean entertainer Kim Jong-kook found himself in a moment of bewildered amusement on the SBS variety show 'Running Man' when he received an unusual piece of marital advice from a passerby.

The episode, airing this Saturday at 6:10 PM KST, features the cast participating in a 'Straight Ahead Based on Your Answer' race. This game requires members to complete missions within a time limit, using randomly generated sentences based on their submitted answers, to avoid penalties.

During a previous recording, while rushing to complete a mission, the cast encountered a relative of a well-known superstar, whose resemblance was striking. This led Yoo Jae-suk to immediately search his phone contacts, while Ji Suk-jin humorously attempted to verify the contact's authenticity.

Adding to the day's events, the members were seen searching the streets under the hot sun, calling out a specific name, which piqued the curiosity of onlookers. It was during this search that a citizen approached Kim Jong-kook and offered him a peculiar wedding blessing, leaving everyone in stitches.

Visibly taken aback by the novel well-wishes, Kim Jong-kook responded with an awkward smile, questioning, 'Don't people usually just wish happiness?', expressing his confusion. Viewers are left curious about the specific blessing that managed to fluster the usually stoic Kim Jong-kook.

Kim Jong-kook is a prominent South Korean singer and television personality, celebrated for his strong stage presence and humorous interactions. His consistent performance on 'Running Man' has cemented his status as a beloved entertainer. He continues to release music, showcasing his powerful vocal abilities.
