Kim Jong-kook and Yoon Eun-hye dating rumors seem to continue for about 19 years this year. This week on “Running Man,” Kim Jong-kook’s close friend Yoo Jae-suk also directly mentioned Yoon Eun-hye, adding to the intrigue.
In the thirteenth episode of SBS’s “Running Man”, while heading to Sky Park, Kim Jong-kook said, “I’ve never been to Sky Park, only to the gym.” Yoo Jae-suk replied, “Jong-kook hasn’t been anywhere; he doesn’t go out,” adding, “You should go on a date…” which made everyone laugh. Then he jokingly suggested, “Should I introduce you to someone? How about a special episode for singles in their 50s, with celebrities?
When the two arrived at Sky Park, Yoo Jae-suk laughed at Kim Jong-kook’s constant chatter, saying, “You look like a retired Superman; I’m just taking on the role of annoying other members,” expressing his frustration with Kim’s chatter during their walk, resembling a middle-aged couple arguing.
Suddenly, when Kim Jong-kook exclaimed “Couple! Couple!” and turned into a “bad couple”, said Yoo Jae-suk, “I’m getting stressed; if you keep insisting like this, I will talk.” Suddenly he mentioned “Eun-hye”, which surprised Kim Jong-kook, making him look at Yoo Jae-suk and laugh. A strange silence fell between the two, adding to the intrigue.
Previously, when she appeared on the “Knowing Brothers” show that aired on July 17, the MCs asked Yoon Eun Hye about her romance with Kim Jong Kook. The actress did not evade the question but did not explain directly. She said that at the time everyone asked her if she was dating Kim Jong Kook. His parents were also curious. Furthermore, Yoon Eun Hye also revealed, “My parents also encouraged us to date.“
19 years ago, Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye were placed on the same team in the show X-Man. At that point, when the opposing team asked him if he hated Yoon Eun Hye, why did he have to answer “of course”, he shyly covered the actress’s ears so as not to hurt her.
This act quickly became the moment of a lifetime for the couple. Since then, the two have been constantly “shipped” by fans. Furthermore, netizens also wondered if the couple ever dated after the show. However, after many years, this question remains unanswered.
