Kim Jong-kook Surprises 'Running Man' Cast with Wedding Announcement
On October 18th, Kim Jong-kook personally shared the news of his marriage with the 'Running Man' cast at the start of the recording. Initially, the members were skeptical, jokingly asking if it was a 'Turbo 30th anniversary event' or a 'wedding special.' However, they were left speechless upon noticing his unusual shyness. Yoo Jae-suk humorously remarked, 'If I had known, I would have teased him more!' Meanwhile, HaHa, who had previously been on Kim Jong-kook's bad side for delaying his own wedding announcement, was told, 'Your sister-in-law dislikes you the most,' drawing attention.
The unexpected wedding news has led to a resurgence of past 'Running Man' episodes featuring Kim Jong-kook. Fans recalled Yoo Jae-suk's 'careless remark' about wearing a 'grilled fish handkerchief' on Kim Jong-kook's wedding day. Additionally, Kim Jong-kook's recent move to a new house, where he was dubbed the 'envelope uncle,' had him exclaiming, 'I won't get married like this!' Viewers also speculated that his interest in interior design during the 'Ji Ye-eun Housewarming' episode might have been due to preparing for his newlywed home, highlighting his romantic side.
Kim Jong-kook announced his marriage through a handwritten letter on October 18th, stating, 'I'm getting married.' The wedding will be a private affair, attended only by family and close friends, with a non-celebrity bride. Fans can watch Kim Jong-kook share the news with his fellow members on 'Running Man,' airing Sunday at 6 PM.
