“A Blessing”— Kim Jong Kook Addresses Premarital Pregnancy Allegations

Following his September 5 wedding, Kim Jong Kook and his mystery wife have remained a hot topic.

The ceremony was a private event, and the general public was not informed of his marriage until August 18, less than a month before it was to take place. His celebrity friends and associates were also surprised by the news.

With such a quick turn around, some speculation that the wedding occurred so quickly due to it being a “shotgun wedding.” A “shotgun wedding” is a term used for when a woman’s pregnancy leads to a quick seeming marriage taking place.

The term has been used for many celebrities who also share a pregnancy announcement at the same time.

On September 11, Kim Jong Kook released a video showing some of the pre-wedding activities he did, including when he told the Running Man cast.

In addition to apologizing for the private nature of the wedding, Kim Jong Kook also shot down rumors of premarital pregnancy when asked, directly saying that it was not a shotgun wedding.

At my age, if it were a shotgun wedding, that would be a blessing. We only made the decision to marry recently. It happened quickly, but it wasn’t a premarital pregnancy.
