On October 16, Kim Jong-kook uploaded a new video titled “This is not SM City… (Feat. U-Know Yunho, Chanyeol, Yuri, Suho, Ma Sun-ho)” on his YouTube channel “GYM JONG KOOK”. In the description of the video, Kim took the opportunity to clarify the situation regarding the now-deleted honeymoon vlog.
“I realized that a short notice couldn’t adequately convey context. As we discussed how to best handle the situation, articles began to appear suggesting that I removed the video to hide my wife’s silhouette, which wasn’t even clearly visible. Those rumors were ridiculous, yet they spread like wildfire.” he wrote.
Kim Jong-kook continued, “Sometimes life throws unexpected twists at you. There have also been a lot of twists around my marriage, which is frustrating and disheartening. However, I take it upon myself to give people space to speculate. I will take the hits and continue to move forward, staying true to who I am.”
Addressing concerns about his character, he added, “You all have known me for a long time: I am not someone who has lost his mind.”
Kim Jong Kook quietly married last month in a private ceremony attended only by family and close friends. The event took place in conditions of maximum security, with no media or photographs allowed. He later shared footage from his honeymoon, including scenes of him working out at the gym, which briefly showed his wife’s silhouette – an inadvertent revelation that became the cause of online intrigue.
After the video attracted attention, it was quietly turned private, sparking speculation and sensational headlines. Kim’s latest message attempts to set the record straight and put the matter to rest.
