Kim Jong-kook Reveals His 'Daughter Fool' Side on 'Running Man'

Kim Jong-kook showcased his potential as a future 'daughter fool' on the latest episode of SBS's variety show 'Running Man' aired on the 14th.

During the episode, Yoo Jae-suk humorously complained about Kim Jong-kook's secretive wedding plans, saying, "With just a week left until the wedding, he still hasn't revealed who the bride is. Even Ronaldo is more public about his affairs. It's the world's biggest secret."

The members teased Kim Jong-kook about his all-black fashion, asking if his fiancée also dresses in black. Kim Jong-kook responded, "I should stop buying clothes for myself since I need to buy them for her," revealing his affectionate side.

When Ji Suk-jin mentioned that his son Hyun-woo is now 24, Song Ji-hyo remarked, "Seeing the kids of the older brothers grow up makes me feel the passage of time."

Ji Suk-jin admitted, "My son and I don't get along well. He gets along better with Jong-kook." Kim Jong-kook then shared, "If my son ends up liking luxury brands, I wouldn't like it. Having a daughter would be nice; it seems easier to raise." Yoo Jae-suk smiled, noting, "Jong-kook is dreaming big."

At 49, Kim Jong-kook reflected on his upcoming marriage, responding to Yoo Jae-suk's comment about his parents' mixed feelings, "My parents are happy. Nothing much changes in life."

Ha Ha expressed surprise at Kim Jong-kook's bride not being a fitness enthusiast, to which Song Ji-hyo asked if she understands his passion for working out. Kim Jong-kook replied with a smile, "She has to understand; it's my livelihood."

In response to the youngest member Ji Ye-eun's dating advice request, Kim Jong-kook advised, "If you wait too long to find a marriage partner, you won't find one. You should meet people gradually."

Meanwhile, Yoo Jae-suk caught attention by attending the wedding with a 'flounder tail' handkerchief, a promise made 12 years ago on 'Running Man.' Kim Jong-kook admitted, "It was tough narrowing down the guest list."
