Singer Kim Jong Kook spoke directly about his wife.
On the broadcast of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House aired on the 29th, guest Jun Hyun Moo appeared.
When asked about marriage, Jun Hyun Moo said, “I’m almost 50. It’s so confusing,” and added, “So I wanted to ask Jong Kook hyung. He’s one year older than me. He was originally against marriage, but I’m curious whether he met the right person and went for it, or if he was already thinking about marriage and then met her.”
Kim Jong Kook replied, “I definitely felt I had to get married,” and “I decided I would marry in the way I idealized.”
Kim Sook asked, “Did she appear at that time?” and Kim Jong Kook explained that he had known his wife even before they started dating. Jun Hyun Moo asked, “She was a female friend, but did she suddenly look like a woman to you?” Kim Jong Kook explained the reason his female friend became his wife: “She was like a younger sister, but at one moment I thought, ‘If I marry this person, I’ll be so happy and it’ll be great.’”
Kim Jong Kook married a non-celebrity woman on September 5th last year, holding the event with strict secrecy from guests to location and schedule, which drew attention. Especially, the identity of his wife was kept tightly under wraps, arousing curiosity.
