Kim Jong Kook, the beloved ‘Commander’ known for his muscular physique and often-single status, has officially entered the world of married life! Fans have been buzzing since his private wedding last September, and now, the multi-talented star is opening up about his new chapter.
On July 24th, tvN‘s You Quiz on the Block released a video titled “‘Loving Marriage’ Newlywed Kim Jong Kook — Jae Suk’s message to Jong Kook’s future child?!” sparking excitement among viewers eager to hear about his post-marriage life.
In the video, none other than Nation’s MC Yoo Jae Suk kicked things off, noting, “Kim Jong Kook has been actively recommending marriage to those around him since he got married.” This immediately set a joyful tone, confirming Kook’s newfound happiness.

The ‘Running Man’ star didn’t hold back, exclaiming, “Marriage is wonderful. It feels like putting a full stop to an unsolvable puzzle in life.” This profound statement clearly illustrates his deep satisfaction with married life. He continued, expressing the sense of stability it brings: “No matter where I go or what place I’m in, just having to think about one person feels very stable.” It’s heartwarming to see the often-teased singleton find such peace.
However, Kook quickly shifted gears, adding a touch of his signature realism – and humor! – by acknowledging the future. “I think once a child is born, reality will hit, and raising the child might be challenging.” This paves the way for the hilarious exchange about his future children.

Yoo Jae Suk, ever the instigator, probed, “You’ve mentioned wanting a daughter, haven’t you?” Kim Jong Kook confirmed, “I think I’d be more cautious raising a daughter.” Then, with a knowing grin, he quipped, “Maybe it’d be a bit easier raising a son.”
Yoo Jae Suk, seizing the moment, playfully warned, “Being born as Jong Kook’s son won’t be easy. It’s going to be tough. Whether it’s a son or a daughter, you’ll have to brace yourself.” This exchange perfectly highlights Kook’s well-known strict image, often dubbed ‘Sparta Kook’.
And then came the moment that truly cracked up everyone on set and viewers alike. Kim Jong Kook jokingly stated, “The child isn’t even born yet, but I’m already sorry. Family education is very important. As I see it, my son is dead. Sorry, I apologize,” delivering a truly unforgettable comedic apology. He quickly softened the blow with a classic Kook line: “It’s all for your own good, so don’t blame me,” leaving a humorous, yet undeniably stern, video message for his future offspring. Fans know this is vintage Kim Jong Kook – tough love wrapped in humor.
