According to an Xports News report on August 19, SBS has confirmed there are “no changes” to Kim Jong-kook’s participation in the show. The news comes just a day after Kim shocked fans with a handwritten letter posted to his fan cafe, revealing he will soon tie the knot in a private ceremony in Seoul, attended by close friends and family.
My Little Old Boy follows the daily lives of unmarried male celebrities through the eyes of their mothers. Given that its core concept centers on bachelors, Kim’s decision to stay on the show post-marriage has raised eyebrows.
Notably, other married or committed cast members like Kim Jun-ho, who recently married Kim Ji-min, and Lee Sang-min, who legally registered his marriage—also remain on the show. The growing number of coupled or married participants has triggered public criticism, with some netizens calling for the program’s cancellation, citing a mismatch between its premise and current cast realities.
As the debate over its relevancy continues, My Little Old Boy faces mounting pressure to either redefine its format or reconsider its cast lineup.
