Kim Jong Kook has gotten married, but his fitness routine remains as intense as ever, according to SHINee’s Minho in the latest episode of the YouTube variety show Salon Drip by TEOaired on December 2.
Minho, a guest on the show, shared his recent athletic feats, including a personal best of 39 minutes for a 10 kilometer run. The host was stunned by the speed, with Jang Do Yeon joking that Minho could be faster than cars on Seoul’s busy Olympic Expressway.
Minho jokingly added, “I might even be faster than an express delivery service,” and I shared a funny anecdote: “People keep asking me if Sean hasn’t contacted me yet since I’ve been running a lot lately. I’ve always heard that he’s out running in the morning, but I haven’t met him yet.”
The SHINee member also revealed that he shares the same gym as Kim Jong Kook, saying: “He scolded me because I stopped going to the gym and was focusing on other workouts. It really keeps him in check.”
What left Minho most amazed, however, was Kim Jong Kook’s legendary consistency. “You know those days when the whole country is closed? January 1st, Christmas, Lunar New Year, no matter what day it is, Jong Kook is always in the gym. And Rain too. Without a doubt, those two are always there.”
Jang Do Yeon laughed, jokingly, “That means you have to be there too if you see them,” to which Minho replied with a smile, “Yes, that’s how we end up meeting.”
Kim Jong Kook got married on September 5, although the identity of his bride remains a mystery. Reports suggest that their relationship was short-lived before marriage and she is described as slim with sharp, straight shoulders.
