On August 18, SBS’s official channel uploaded a video titled “Yoo Jae-suk’s Biggest Crisis Yet”. The video replays a classic Running Man scene from 12 years ago, during a hierarchy-based meal game. Yoo Jae-suk, ranked sixth, was only given rice and kimchi.
Frustrated, he pleaded with Kim Jong-kook —who ranked higher—for some meat. Kim Jong-kook jokingly offered an egg instead, then generously allowed him some soy-braised egg and grilled fish. Yoo Jae-suk, holding the grilled fish, quipped: “I’ll stick this fish into my suit pocket when I attend your wedding.”

Now that day might actually come.
Kim Jong-kook announced his upcoming marriage on his fan café on August 18, sending shockwaves through fans and the entertainment world. Although he hasn’t revealed who his bride-to-be is, speculation is running wild online. Rumors point to a cosmetics CEO living in LA or a star tutor’s daughter 20 years his junior.

While the exact date remains under wraps, Kim Jong-kook is reportedly planning a private wedding somewhere in Seoul.
Naturally, fans are now wondering: will Yoo Jae-suk really show up to the ceremony with a grilled fish in his pocket?

Netizens reacted with amusement:
- “He has to do it now—it’s canon.”
- “How do people even remember this stuff?”
- “It’s officially part of Running Man lore.”
- “If he actually does it, he’s a comedy genius.”
With all eyes on the wedding, many are just as excited to see whether Yoo Jae-suk delivers on his long-standing joke as they are about the bride herself.
