The cast further lightened the mood by suggesting, "If it's like this, let's just sit and talk," to which Kim Jong-kook quipped, "Some of you haven't even read the marriage declaration..." Ji Seok-jin expressed his astonishment, saying, "The day you talk about marriage has come."

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook held his wedding ceremony with a non-celebrity woman on September 5th. Previously, he had declared he wouldn't be filming for 'My Little Old Boy,' and this marriage has been met with the blessings of many.
