Singer Kim Jong Kook has been a topic of discussion after directly addressing and denying various rumors about his wife, which arose following his sudden marriage announcement. He clarified on 'My Little Old Boy' that his wife is not involved in sports and that all rumors about her being from LA, a cosmetics CEO, or an English instructor are false. He emphasized that everything, except her gender, was incorrect, confirming his marriage but dispelling all speculations about his wife's identity.
Kim Jong Kook secretly married his non-celebrity wife on September 5 last year. The wedding was a small affair, with only 100 close acquaintances (50 from each side) invited. Yoo Jae Suk officiated, and Kim Jong Kook performed the congratulatory song himself. Guests were informed of the venue only the day before and were asked to attend alone without managers, ensuring strict privacy. Despite his previous efforts to keep his private life out of the spotlight, he recently shared on broadcasts that he and his wife knew each other before dating and rarely argue, satisfying curiosity about his married life.
Bloggers noted that many did not expect Kim Jong Kook to marry due to his 'penny-pincher' image, and that the lack of public disclosure of his wife's face led to humorous rumors like him being 'married to exercise.' They also found it interesting that Yoo Jae Suk fulfilled his 12-year-old promise to attend Kim Jong Kook's wedding with a dried flatfish tail. Bloggers also highlighted Kim Jong Kook's dedication to privacy, as evidenced by his decision to make a YouTube video private after his wife's silhouette briefly appeared.
