Kim Jong-kook Debunks Wife Rumors: "LA CEO? English Tutor's Daughter? All Incorrect"

Singer Kim Jong-kook has personally addressed and clarified various online rumors surrounding his wife, revealing the truth.

During the SBS variety show 'Running Man' broadcast on the 14th, the cast members enthusiastically inquired about Kim Jong-kook's bride. Previously, when Ji Suk-jin asked if he knew Kim Jong-kook's wife, the singer had drawn a line, stating she was 'someone I don't know' and 'not from the entertainment industry.' Haha also commented that he expected his 'sister-in-law' to be someone who enjoys exercise, but she is completely unrelated, to which Kim Jong-kook replied, 'She understands my work fully, though.'

On the same day's SBS broadcast of 'My Little Old Boy,' the topic of Kim Jong-kook's wife continued. When Kim Dong-hyun said, 'I also can't compromise because of exercise,' Kim Jong-kook shared, 'I've only fought because of exercise. We fought a lot because of exercise,' drawing laughter.

When Kim Hee-chul then asked, 'Did you meet her at a gym?' and brought up rumors circulating online like 'LA-based CEO' and 'English tutor's daughter,' Kim Jong-kook firmly stated, 'My wife has absolutely no connection to exercise. The articles circulating online are all untrue.' He further emphasized, 'She's not from LA like the rumors say, not a cosmetics CEO, and not an English tutor's daughter. You're not even close to the truth. Everything except her gender is wrong. Only the fact that we are married is correct.'

With Kim Jong-kook personally dismissing the rumors and concluding, 'Everything about my wife's identity, besides what I've stated, is false,' it has been revealed that the various speculations that have been circulating online are baseless.

Kim Jong-kook's dating life has been a frequent topic on Korean entertainment shows, often with him expressing a desire for marriage. He is known for his intense fitness regimen and has often joked about how his dedication to working out might be a challenge for a partner. Despite the speculation, his private life has been carefully guarded until his recent marriage announcement.
