Running Man members detailed Kim Jong Kook wedding. Kim Jong Kook flustered. Cha Tae Hyun revealed the wife face.
The beloved SBS variety show 'Running Man' was back in action this week, but the energy was still buzzing from a monumental event that happened just days before filming: the wedding of the one and only Kim Jong Kook. The episode, which aired on September 21st, felt more like a joyous post-wedding party as the core members, joined by Kim Jong Kook's close friend and actor Cha Tae Hyun, couldn't help but relive every hilarious and heartwarming moment from the ceremony. It was a special session filled with laughter, teasing, and a few surprising revelations about the groom's behavior on his big day.
Despite any attempts to keep things private, the 'Running Man' family proved that some stories are just too good not to share. They enthusiastically bombarded Cha Tae Hyun and a flustered Kim Jong Kook with anecdotes and behind-the-scenes spills, painting a vivid picture of a wedding that was anything but ordinary. From last-minute musical performances to the groom's unique way of managing his guests, the members held nothing back, offering fans a delightful and intimate peek into a celebration that was clearly filled with love and a lot of good-natured chaos.

The teasing began in earnest with Yoo Jae Suk, who served as the wedding MC, revealing Kim Jong Kook's unexpected entrance. According to Jae Suk, as the groom was announced and began his walk in, he was actively shushing the guests, telling everyone "shh" with a finger over his lips.
"It was the first time I've ever seen a groom tell his guests to be quiet during his own entrance," revelead Yoo Jae Suk, quoted from news.nate.
Yoo Jae Suk joked, adding that Kim Jong Kook was specifically hushing his juniors seated among the attendees. Kim Jong Kook, waving his hands in denial, laughed and claimed the story was being greatly exaggerated. The musical side of the ceremony was also a highlight.
Cha Tae Hyun revealed he was roped into singing a live, acapella version of the song "I LOVE YOU" as a congratulatory performance with almost no notice, a request made by Jong Kook himself just an hour before the event. The members Haha and Yang Se Chan confirmed the moment was incredibly moving, bringing them to tears. Furthermore, the members good-naturedly called out Kim Jong Kook for his claim of a "simple" wedding, noting that the main ceremony alone lasted a full hour, with the entire event stretching to an hour and a half.

Face of Kim Jong Kook's Wife Revealed
The biggest mystery which is the appearance of Kim Jong Kook's bride was also playfully addressed. The expert on the matter turned out to be guest Cha Tae Hyun, who decided to literally sketch out the details for the curious members.
While in the car, he took out his phone and began drawing her face, describing her as having big and pretty eyes.
"It's like this. Her eyes are big and pretty," said Cha Tae Hyun.
Fellow member Ji Suk Jin surprisingly agreed with the sketch, saying, "I actually remembered her face when I saw this."
The groom, however, was not impressed and grumbled, "Stop drawing. It doesn't even look similar," desperately trying to shut down the impromptu art session.
The conversation then turned to her whereabouts, with Yoo Jae Suk subtly asking if she was at home or work. Kim Jong Kook, perhaps in an effort to shift the topic from her appearance, simply revealed, "She's at home. She's on vacation."
In conclusion, the episode was a beautiful testament to the deep bonds Kim Jong Kook shares with his 'Running Man' family and friends like Cha Tae Hyun. It was less about prying and more about sharing in the happiness of one of their own, showcasing a celebration that was perfectly reflective of the groom himself: full of passion, a touch of fussiness, and an overwhelming amount of love and generosity from his inner circle. The stories of him scolding members for overly generous cash gifts only to sincerely thank them later perfectly captured the blend of humor and heartfelt emotion that defined both his wedding and his relationships.
