Yoo Jae-suk Shares Update on Kim Jong-kook's Upcoming Wedding on 'Anytime'

Yoo Jae-suk recently shared an update on Kim Jong-kook's upcoming wedding during the SBS variety show 'Anytime,' which aired on the 19th.

On this episode, hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok were joined by 'Dragon Club' actors Cha Tae-hyun and Jang Hyuk.

Yoo Jae-suk complimented Cha Tae-hyun, who appeared as the 'season finale fairy,' saying, "When you appear, the ratings are good." Cha Tae-hyun responded with a hint of pressure, "That's not true. If the final ratings aren't good and there's no Season 4, it's because of me."

During a meal after the first mission, the group candidly discussed the entertainment industry. Cha Tae-hyun remarked on the popularity of K-culture, saying, "Looking at the craze for 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,' it's insane."

Yoo Jae-suk shared, "My daughter Na-eun is 8 years old and really wants to watch 'K-Pop Demon Hunters.' We watched the trailer together, and the concept is fresh. It's about K-pop idols saving the world," expressing his thoughts as a national MC.

Cha Tae-hyun agreed, adding, "I wonder how to survive in that competition, but my second daughter, who is interested in the entertainment industry, sees it as an opportunity," highlighting the generational gap.

Recalling memories, Cha Tae-hyun said, "The most fun I had was during my time at Seoul Institute of the Arts." Jang Hyuk, from Busan, reminisced, "When I first came to Myeongdong in 1997, the first song I heard was Jong-kook's."

Cha Tae-hyun praised Kim Jong-kook, saying, "He's endured for a long time," while Yoo Jae-suk added, "These days, he's become a laid-back gentleman as he prepares for marriage. He used to be so sharp." Yoo Yeon-seok expressed admiration for the entertainers active since the '90s.

Kim Jong-kook recently surprised fans with his wedding announcement. He is set to marry a non-celebrity on September 5th in Seoul, with only family and close friends invited.

Meanwhile, Yoo Yeon-seok excelled in the final mission, achieving a three-stage success. He shared his thoughts, "I'm glad to wrap up the season like this," and expressed relief at overcoming a slight slump. Cha Tae-hyun encouraged, "Season 4 should be no problem."
