A composite sketch of Kim Jong-kook's wife, humorously drawn by actor Cha Tae-hyun, became a hot topic on the latest episode of SBS's 'Running Man.'

During the broadcast on the 21st, close friend Cha Tae-hyun made an appearance, leading to discussions about Kim Jong-kook's wedding. Cha Tae-hyun praised Kim Jong-kook's congratulatory song as 'the best,' hinting at the specific song choice that fans are eager to guess.

As the cast traveled, curiosity about Kim Jong-kook's wife continued to build. Ji Seok-jin recalled her as 'elegant and suited for Hanbok,' but was playfully corrected by others who pointed out she didn't wear one, leading to much laughter. He then tried to smooth things over by suggesting she seemed 'understanding.'

Suddenly, Cha Tae-hyun began to sketch the 'Running Man' host's wife. He described her as 'having big, beautiful eyes, not monolid,' prompting Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Seok-jin to try and stop him, calling him 'uncontrollable.' Undeterred, Cha Tae-hyun refined the sketch, adding 'a slim V-line face,' which sent the studio into fits of laughter. Even Yoo Jae-suk joined in, asking if she was taking time off work.

Kim Jong-kook confirmed she was at home, with the cast speculating she might be on vacation. Reflecting on his marriage, Kim Jong-kook expressed gratitude, stating, 'It was truly heartwarming to have my close friends there.'

Kim Jong-kook married his non-celebrity girlfriend on September 5th. Previously, on 'My Little Old Boy,' rumors about his wife's identity, including her connection to a gym or being a CEO from LA, were discussed. Kim Jong-kook firmly denied these, clarifying, 'My wife has nothing to do with fitness. Everything online is false.' He emphasized, 'Everything except the gender is incorrect. Only the marriage is true,' to dismiss rampant speculation.

Kim Jong-kook tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend on September 5, 2023, in a ceremony attended by numerous celebrity friends. He has openly shared his ideal type and thoughts on marriage in various past television appearances. The singer has always been selective about discussing his private life, making his wedding a significant event for his fans.
