The singer shared that he will soon be tying the knot and getting married, which managed to surprise everyone.Along with the regular cast members, Jong Kook was also joined by renowned actors Jang Dong Yoon and Kim Ah Young for that day&#8217;s segment, which was being filmed in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province.As per Allkpop, he also shared the news with his fans and netizens through a post on a popular fan forum.He shared a heartfelt message that read, \u201cI always thought the day would come when I\u2019d have to write something like this, and I had prepared myself for it. But now that I\u2019m actually writing, I\u2019m more nervous and anxious than I ever imagined. I\u2019m getting married.&#8221;He also talked about how even though it may be a little late for him, it is still something that he is looking forward to, and also asked his fans for their support and love in this next chapter of his life. He also jokes about how, instead of sharing a new album for his 30th anniversary, he ended up getting a partner instead.The post read, &#8220;I know I\u2019ve dropped little hints here and there, but I\u2019m sure it still feels sudden to many of you. This year marks my 30th debut anniversary, and instead of making the album I wanted, I\u2019ve created my other half. Please congratulate and support me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Who is the mysterious woman? <\/p>\n<p>While Jong Kook shared that he is about to tie the knot, he did not provide many details about who his soon-to-be wife is.
