Kim Jong Kook (49) surprised fans and netizens with his announcement of his marriage.

On August 18, Kim Jong Kook announced during the filming of 'Running Man' that he is getting married. Following the broadcast, Kim Jong Kook also shared a handwritten letter to fans, personally sharing the news.

He shared the letter on his official fan cafe and wrote, "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."


The singer continued to share, "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."


After receiving the news of Kim Jong Kook's marriage, fans and netizens have gathered on various social media platforms and online communities to share their messages congratulating him.
