'Running Man' mentioned Kim Jong-kook's marriage in the subtitles.
The episode aired on the 24th was themed 'Running University Academic Conference Training'.
In the opening, Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Suk-jin appeared as table tennis players, Ji Ye-eun as a rhythmic gymnast, Yang Se-chan as a gymnast, and Choi Daniel and Song Ji-hyo as badminton players, while Kim Jong-kook performed a boxing act with Haha.
The 'Running Man' team captured Kim Jong-kook boxing playfully with Haha and added a subtitle saying, "At that time, no one knew about the marriage news." This highlighted the fact that Kim Jong-kook's marriage news was also 'top secret' to the 'Running Man' members and production team.
On the 18th, Kim Jong-kook posted a handwritten letter on his official fan cafe declaring, "I am getting married," officially announcing his marriage.
He was about to film 'Running Man' at that time and personally shared the marriage news during the opening shoot.
SBS initially planned to air the recorded segment on the 7th of next month, but decided to move it up to the 31st due to the explosive reaction to Kim Jong-kook's marriage news.
The news of Kim Jong-kook's marriage has not cooled down even after a week, with keywords like '6.2 billion won newlywed house' and 'identity of the bride-to-be' generating a lot of interest.
Attention is focused on how Kim Jong-kook will announce his marriage news on the 'Running Man' airing on the 31st and how his close 'Running Man' members will react.
