Singer Kim Jong Kook is getting married.

Kim Jong Kook announced his marriage today (18th) during the filming of ‘Running Man.’


According to a variety show insider, Kim was filming SBS’s ‘Running Man’ in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, when he made the surprise announcement.

The day’s guests were actors Jang Dong Yoon and Kim Ah Young. While filming the opening segment, Kim hesitated before saying he had something to share, then revealed that he was getting married.

The cast and guests, who had no idea about Kim Jong Kook’s marriage news, were shocked at first and thought it was part of a hidden camera prank. But once they realized it was true, they congratulated him warmly.

On the same day, Kim also shared the news with fans through his official fan café, writing: “I always thought the day would come when I’d have to write something like this, and I had prepared myself for it. But now that I’m actually writing, I’m more nervous and anxious than I ever imagined. I’m getting married.”

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.
