Singer Kim Jong-kook's marriage announcement has also drawn attention to singer and actress Yoon Eun-hye, who denied dating rumors with him.
On the 18th, Kim Jong-kook posted a handwritten letter on his official fan cafe, stating, "I am getting married," and added, "Thanks to the fans who have always been a great support for a long time, I am able to get married and take on new challenges in life. I will work harder and strive to be a better Kim Jong-kook." He personally shared the news of his marriage.
As Kim Jong-kook's marriage news, which has garnered national love for 30 years as a singer and broadcaster, becomes a hot topic, interest in Yoon Eun-hye, who created a business love line with him 20 years ago on the SBS variety show 'X-Man' in the "Of Course" segment, is also rising.
In particular, the two are generating a lot of buzz in China, where both have high recognition. On the local major social networking service (SNS) platform Weibo, the keywords "Kim Jong-kook's marriage announcement" and "Kim Jong-kook Yoon Eun-hye" ranked first and second in real-time trending searches.
Chinese netizens are reminiscing about the iconic scene where Kim Jong-kook covers Yoon Eun-hye's ears in 'Of Course,' leaving comments like "It reminds me of my youth," "I really liked that love line back then," and "It feels like something from the last century."
Yoon Eun-hye's side previously stated in 2022 regarding the dating rumors with Kim Jong-kook, "It is not true at all."
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook plans to hold a private wedding soon, inviting family and close friends.
