Kim Jong Kook's recent wedding had such tight security that it was described as "reminiscent of a James Bond operation."

On September 5, Kim Jong Kook officially tied the knot with his non-celebrity fiancé. The star had announced his upcoming wedding less than one month ahead of time, shocking fans with the news. 

Kim Jong Kook prioritized the privacy of himself and his fiancé throughout the process, keeping the location and details of the wedding completely secret. He invited less than 100 guests, and didn't reveal the wedding's location to them until the day before. To his celebrity guests, Kim Jong Kook urged them not to tell anyone they were attending: "Please don't even tell your managers that you're attending. Just come alone."

With only 100 guests, Kim Jong Kook invited only very close friends and family, including the cast of 'Running Man.' Multiple acquaintances reported that they only found out the wedding had occurred through reading news articles. Close friend Yoo Jae Suk served as the master of ceremonies for the wedding.

With the wedding's intense level of privacy, speculations over the identity of Kim Jong Kook's new wife have continued to spread on social media. A number of rumors have surfaced, from the claim that the new bride is a "38-year-old cosmetics CEO from Los Angeles", to the theories that she is the youngest daughter of a famous English teacher, a Seoul university graduate, or a businesswoman working for a large corporation's North America sales department. Throughout the wedding process, Kim Jong Kook and his team have kept his bride's identity a complete secret.
