Singer Kim Jong-kook, the 'bridegroom of September', has officially confirmed his marriage again.

On the 31st, the SBS variety show ‘Running Man’ featured a special titled ‘The More You Use, the More Luck! A Date Full of Fortune’ with guests actors Jang Dong-yoon and Kim Ah-young.

On this day, Kim Jong-kook went to each member before the recording to share the news of his marriage, and the members found it hard to believe even after hearing it.

Once the official recording began, Kim Jong-kook announced in front of the camera, “I’m getting married. I will live well and work hard.”

Yoo Jae-suk said, “Actually, I have a recording that day. I thought you were talking about your 30th anniversary concert this year. But you asked me to host, and it turned out to be about your marriage. I really have a recording that day, so I’m trying to adjust my schedule. I will host it with elegance,” he said.

Ji Suk-jin commented, “If you were born earlier, you would have to be in the independence army,” to which Kim Jong-kook replied, “I hinted at it. I’m saying this now because I’m worried that if an article comes out on another day, I might have to hang a banner on ‘Running Man’.” When Haha made an unexpected comment asking if he was marrying singer Chae-yeon, Kim Jong-kook firmly responded, “No. (The ‘Running Man’ members) don’t know her,” and added, “She is not in the entertainment industry.”

Earlier, on the 18th, Kim Jong-kook announced his marriage through a fan cafe, saying, “I’m getting married. The wedding will be held quietly with family, relatives, and a few acquaintances in a not too large scale in the near future,” and added, “Although it’s a bit late, I will do my best to live well.”
