The newlywed Kim Jong-kook, who drew attention with his so-called '007 wedding', revealed his thoughts on the endless interest in his wife, stating, "The dating period wasn't long, and there's no 20-year age difference."

The KBS2 entertainment show 'Problematic Men in the Rooftop Room' (hereafter 'Rooftop Room') airing today (11th) features the problematic men who have filled their brains with all kinds of trivia over the past seven years, coming together again to engage in a dopamine-inducing quiz battle. Contestants include Song Eun-yi, Kim Sook, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin-kyung, Yang Se-chan, and Joo Woo-jae.

In particular, the love expert of this era, actor Park Young-kyu, visits the rooftop room as a guest, sharing candid marriage advice based on his own experiences with Kim Jong-kook, who got married on the 5th, evoking empathy.

Park Young-kyu, addressing the 49-year-old Kim Jong-kook, said, "Is this your first marriage? I was on my second marriage at your age," revealing his past honestly and making the rooftop room burst into laughter.

Park Young-kyu also stated, "Give everything to your wife. Give her the safe key and all the passwords," showcasing his loving side and surprising Kim Jong-kook. When Kim Sook asked, "Did you entrust everything to her too?" he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Not really," and then added, "It means to live with a giving heart," hastily recovering the situation and eliciting more laughter.

Kim Jong-kook also addressed the curiosities surrounding his new bride. He clarified, "She's not a fitness professional, and there's no 20-year age gap," adding that "the dating period wasn't long, so there are no rumors," explaining the lack of eyewitness accounts.

In response, Kim Sook bluntly remarked, "I thought you were secretly marrying a doll," causing more laughter. Viewers can catch the new side of newlywed Kim Jong-kook along with Park Young-kyu's brutally realistic advice in the main broadcast of 'Rooftop Room'.
