Kim Jong-kook's First SNS Post After Nuptials Sparks Buzz

Singer and television personality Kim Jong-kook is drawing attention with his first social media post just a day after his wedding.

On the 6th, Kim uploaded a photo on his SNS with a short message, "Thank you so much." The image featured boxing equipment gifted by a sports brand. His first post after getting married, it stood out for its personal touch, reflecting his signature style.

Kim Jong-kook tied the knot with his non-celebrity fiancée on the 5th at a hotel in Gangnam, Seoul. The wedding was a strictly private affair, attended only by family and close friends, with long-time friend Yoo Jae-suk presiding as officiant.

At 49, the late-blooming groom held the ceremony under tight security, reminiscent of a 'James Bond' operation. Every measure was taken to ensure the bride's privacy, prevent any social media sharing by guests, and even block potential broadcasts, earning it the reputation of an 'unprecedentedly secure wedding'.

Despite the swift wedding, which took place just over two weeks after the announcement, very little information was publicly disclosed. Consequently, Kim Jong-kook's initial SNS post following the ceremony garnered significant public interest. Unlike many celebrities who share wedding photos or couple pictures, Kim chose a characteristically 'Gym Jong-kook' way to update fans, posting a picture of boxing gear along with his thanks.

This act is interpreted not merely as an acknowledgement of a gift, but as a heartfelt thank you to those who congratulated him. It also reinforces his well-known image of diligent and consistent exercise, leading fans to comment, "That's so like Kim Jong-kook."

From dominating the music scene as a member of Turbo in his early career, to being the 'Power Man' on 'Running Man' and the 'stingy Jong-kook' on 'My Little Old Boy', Kim Jong-kook has long been a beloved figure. His wedding and subsequent social media post go beyond a simple daily update, leaving a unique impression on the public.

Kim Jong-kook debuted in 1995 as a member of the group Turbo, achieving immense popularity, and later found success as a solo artist.

He has been a consistent fan favorite appearing on numerous variety shows like 'Running Man' and 'My Little Old Boy', earning nicknames such as 'The Power Man' and 'Return of the 10 Billion'.

Renowned for his muscular physique and strict self-discipline, he has established himself as one of the most dedicated fitness enthusiasts in the entertainment industry.
