Kim Jong Kook wears many hats, including singer, songwriter, YouTuber, bodybuilder, and variety TV star. Another one will be added to his list now that the singer has confirmed his plans to marry an anonymous individual. In his message to his admirers, the 49-year-old did not give the specific itinerary, but he did state that it would be a small gathering of 'family, close friends, and a few acquaintances.' With 30 years in the entertainment industry, it's unclear what kind of event he'll give.

Kim Jong Kook's heartfelt letter


In a fresh update on his personal fancafe, the Turbo member said that he was anxious about writing the letter after years of visualizing it. Kim Jong Kook, wanting to personally declare it to individuals who have backed him as a person, announced, "I'm getting married. Although I attempted to provide indicators, some may perceive this news as unexpected. It's my 30th debut anniversary, and instead of making the record I wanted, I created my 'other half'." He promised to work hard so that he and his spouse could live happily together."



The singer revealed that the wedding will be minimal in scope and will take place shortly. In a subsequent statement to Xports News, TURBO.JK COMPANY said, "He will hold a private wedding ceremony with family and close acquaintances." We cannot provide an exact date or location." Kim further stated, "I will continue to be a Kim Jong-kook who works harder and lives diligently."

Kim recently bought a house

According to an SBS representative, "During today's Running Man opening, Kim Jong Kook directly informed the members about his marriage." The episode is likely to debut sometime in early September.

Kim said he had been "dropping small hints here and there" about his marriage. Now that he has bought the house, he mentioned the wedding is soon to happen. 

Previously, during a visit to Problem Child in House, Kim Jong Kook disclosed that he had purchased a 620 million KRW house, generating speculations over whether it would be his 'newlywed home'. He promised to let everyone know once the wedding date was confirmed, and the YouTuber has kept his word.
