Kim Jong-kook Debunks Marriage Rumors: 'Not 20 Years Younger, Not in the Fitness Industry'

Singer Kim Jong-kook has directly addressed rampant speculation surrounding his new wife, clarifying rumors for the first time since his wedding announcement.

Appearing on the KBS 2TV show 'Problem Child in House' airing on the 11th, Kim firmly refuted claims that his wife is 20 years his junior or works in the fitness industry, stating, "Neither is true." He explained that their relatively short dating period meant less public exposure, which contributed to the lack of rumors prior to the announcement.

The singer tied the knot in a private ceremony on the 5th, and the limited information available about his non-celebrity bride led to a flurry of unsubstantiated gossip. Kim is set to clear up these misunderstandings and share his love story with his wife on the upcoming episode.

Kim Jong-kook debuted in 1995 with the duo Turbo, leaving a significant mark on the music industry.

He has since released numerous hit solo songs like 'One Man' and 'Walking in Place,' captivating audiences with his unique tone and powerful vocals.

Known for his impressive athleticism and self-discipline, he's earned the nickname 'The Capable One' and is a prominent figure in variety shows.
