Kim Jong Kook’s Close Friend Thinks His Marriage Is Not Genuine

Kim Jong Kook is facing skepticism about his marriage from his close friend, actor Cha Tae Hyun.

The controversy began on the April 26 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy where Cha Tae Hyun appeared as a special MC. He openly expressed disbelief about Kim Jong Kook’s wedding, which happened last year.

Cha Tae Hyun said:

“I only saw the wedding, and it feels like living in a set. I haven’t even been to their newlywed home yet, so I won’t believe it until I go there.”

The mothers on the show agreed with him:

“We feel the same.”

Cha Tae Hyun replied:

“Right? It feels like the whole country is dreaming.”

Kim Jong Kook is now seven months into newlywed life, but according to Cha Tae Hyun, no housewarming party has taken place.

“There’s none at all, so I still don’t believe it. But the recent hot news is that they are planning for children.”

Still, Cha Tae Hyun ended with a laugh:

“But I’m still not believing it.”

Kim Jong Kook attracted media attention last September when he held a secret wedding ceremony with a non-celebrity woman.

As the situation unfolds, fans and viewers are reacting to Cha Tae Hyun’s blunt honesty about one of K-pop’s most private marriages.
