Kim Jong Kook favorite Running Man star drops the news live that he’s getting married soon!
A Wedding Announcement Worth Running For
Kim Jong kook made the unexpected announcement during the filming of Running Man in Pyeongtaek. He paused mid-shoot, looked around, and calmly said:
“I’m getting married.”
At first, everyone thought it was a prank—until the truth sunk in and the cheers began.
A Personal Letter From Kim Jong Kook
Later, the 49-year-old star shared a handwritten letter on his fan café. He revealed how nervous he felt writing it, acknowledged hints he’d dropped before, and expressed gratitude for the fans who’ve supported him throughout his 30-year career. Instead of an album, he said, he found his “other half.” The wedding is planned to be private and low-key, attended only by family and close friends.
It All Made Sense Now…
Earlier this year, Jong-kook sparked rumors when he casually referred to his newly purchased ₩6.2 billion villa in Gangnam as a “newlywed home.” This remark now reads less cryptic and more like a sweet foreshadowing.
Full message from Kim Jong Kook’s fan café:
Hello, this is Kim Jong Kook.
I’ve always thought the day would come when I’d have to write and post something like this myself. I had prepared my heart for it, but now that I’m actually writing, I’m more nervous and tense than I expected.
To my fans, who have believed in me, supported me, and stood by me for such a long time, I wanted to be the first to let you know.
I’m getting married.
I know I’ve dropped little hints here and there, but I’m sure it still feels sudden to many of you.
This year marks my 30th debut anniversary, and instead of making the album I wanted, I’ve created my other half. Please congratulate and support me.
It may be late, but isn’t it fortunate that it’s happening now, at least? Right? I will do my best to live well.
The wedding will be held soon, in a small and quiet ceremony with family, relatives, and a few close friends.
Thanks to all of you who have been a great source of strength for such a long time, I am able to get married and take on a new challenge in life.
I will strive to work harder and live even more diligently.
Thank you.
