On October 7 (KST), official LA FC social media account posted photos and clips with the caption “at the place to be”, tagging Kim Jong-kook’s Instagram account.
The post featured scenes from the LA FC vs. Atlanta United match held at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on October 6 (KST). Kim Jong-kook was seen in the stands passionately supporting Son Heung-min’s team, wearing the team’s uniform and scarf while giving thumbs-up gestures toward the camera.
His enthusiastic energy and friendly interactions with the club staff caught the attention of both fans and broadcasters — with cameras briefly showing him during the live broadcast.
While Kim Jong-kook appeared cheerful, fans couldn’t help but notice that his wife was not present at the event. Neither the official LA FC photos nor the broadcast footage showed any sign of her, sparking curiosity among fans.
- He’s newlywed — where’s his wife?
- It’s Chuseok! Why is he in LA alone?
- Didn’t expect to see Kim Jong-kook here cheering for Son Heung-min!
- He really flew to the U.S. just to support his friend — that’s dedication.
The reactions were a mix of amusement and affection, as fans expressed surprise at seeing the singer in such an unexpected setting.
Kim Jong-kook married a non-celebrity on September 5 at a private ceremony in Seoul, attended by fewer than 100 close family members and relatives. The location of the wedding was kept undisclosed until the day before, reflecting his preference for privacy.
This LA FC trip marks Kim Jong-kook’s first known public outing since marriage — though his solo appearance has only fueled more curiosity among fans.
