Singer Kim Jong-kook held his wedding ceremony after 49 years. On the 5th, he held the wedding with a non-celebrity bride at a location in Seoul. The wedding was an unofficial event attended only by family and close acquaintances, and the ceremony was hosted by Kim Jong-kook's longtime friend Yoo Jae-suk.

The wedding, which took place just two weeks after the announcement, was conducted under strict security. The bride's identity and the possibility of broadcast exposure were blocked in advance, and no information was disclosed externally. Kim Jong-kook stated at the time of the wedding announcement, "The bride is a non-celebrity unrelated to the entertainment industry."

Some information about the wedding was revealed on SBS variety show Running Man. On that day's broadcast, Yoo Jae-suk mentioned Kim Jong-kook's secrecy, saying, "We even joked among ourselves. We thought Jong-kook was acting very strange." Kim Jong-kook explained the reason for keeping the wedding news secret, saying, "If the article came out first, it seemed like Running Man would put up a banner and make a big deal out of it, so I kept it secret."

Yoo Jae-suk asked Kim Jong-kook, "Then will you film your newlywed home on My Little Old Boy?" but Kim Jong-kook firmly replied, "No, I won't appear. Family is family, and my work is my work." He emphasized that his fiancée would never be exposed on broadcast.

Netizens' reactions to the wedding were enthusiastic. Online comments included, "This is at the level of a 007 operation," "Complete lockdown," and "It's cool that he refused all variety shows and protected his private life." Kim Jong-kook was known as a representative bachelor in the entertainment industry, and through this marriage, he has built a new family.

Kim Jong-kook's wedding is regarded as a case that well demonstrates his cautious and thorough personality. The unofficial nature of the wedding and the strict protection of the bride show how much he values his privacy. Kim Jong-kook is expected to continue maintaining strict security measures to protect his private life in the future.
