On the SBS ‘Whenever You Have Time’ broadcast on the 21st, after Kim Jong-kook vowed to get married as his New Year‘s wish, Yoo Jae-suk revealed that Kim Jong-kook is not currently single, drawing attention to the background behind this.

On that day’s broadcast, the main topic of conversation is between married man Yoo Jae-suk and Cha Tae-hyun about getting ‘50-year-old single’ Kim Jong-kook married.

According to the production crew, Yoo Jae-suk turns the set upside down by saying, “Jong-kook is not currently single. Yoo Jae-suk then explains, “Jong-kook is already interacting with many health enthusiasts”, making everyone nod. Here, Cha Tae Hyun teases, “It‘d be awesome if Jong Kook appeared on a real dating show,” and Kim Jong Kook angrily replies, “I’ll take care of the marriage!” satisfying Cha Tae Hyun, the “Jong Kook catcher.” On the other hand, when Yoo Yeon Seok suggests, “Instead of a stick of love, how about a barbell of love?” and offers an alternative that 100% satisfies Kim Jong Kook‘s needs, Kim Jong Kook responds, “Isn’t this okay?” and makes the set burst into laughter.


In addition, Yoo Jae Suk catches the eye by giving meaningful advice to Cha Tae Hyun and Kim Jong Kook, members of the “Dragon Club” who are turning 50. Yoo Jae-suk starts off by saying, “Wouldn‘t it be different if the first digit changed?” and warns, “You can’t feel it right away, but it‘s definitely different. You will definitely discover it too,” making Kim Jong-kook feel even more bitter. When Kim Jong-kook begins to reflect on himself by saying, “Well, having a family in your 50s and being single are a bit different,” Cha Tae-hyun says, “But you definitely have your match,” adding, “It’s a message that he is adding strength to Kim Jong-kook‘s ’50-year-old marriage project.‘”

The show airs on the 21st at 10:20 p.m.
