Singer Kim Jong-kook couldn’t hide his shyness as he spoke about his wife on the December 11 episode of KBS2’s variety program, where he appeared alongside comedian Lee Kyung-sil as part of a “same-age duo” segment.

During the discussion about what makes an ideal spouse, Lee Kyung-sil highlighted self-care as an essential quality. Turning to Kim Jong-kook, who married in September, she jokingly asked, “Doesn’t your wife get shocked sometimes?” sparking laughter on set.

She continued with another playful question: “There must be days when your body looks especially pumped like after an intense workout. What does she say then?” Kim Jong-kook burst into laughter before admitting, “She asks if it’s fake because it looks so extreme.”

When Lee Kyung-sil followed up by asking whether his wife likes his muscles, Kim Jong-kook blushed before confessing, “She feels proud. She likes it.”

Kim Jong-kook tied the knot with his non-celebrity wife in September. The wedding was held privately with only family members and close friends invited. Broadcaster Jo Se-ho officiated the ceremony, while Kim Jong-kook sang the congratulatory song himself. His longtime friend Cha Tae-hyun also moved guests by spontaneously performing “I Love You.”
