The story of Kim Jong-kook's purchase of a luxury villa was revealed in KBS2 entertainment show 「The Problematic Children of the Rooftop Room」, which aired on the 31st of last month. On this day, when Song Eun-yi said "I heard that she bought a house for Jong-guk's honeymoon," Kim Sook was surprised "Is there a bride?" and the atmosphere heated up.
In response, Kim Jong-guk calmly explained, `It's right that it's a newlywed house because there's no one there, but you have to go in when you get married.' However, the members who followed did not stop teasing. Song Eun-i said "Now that we have a newlywed house, let's go to 'Salimnam'", and Yang Se-chan joked "Then are you throwing away the 'My Little Old Boy?" Kim Jong-guk responded "You have to talk about it" and Joo Woo-jae added "Let's take a picture of Salimnam and Dolsing Foreman" to turn the studio into a sea of laughter.
Hong Jin-kyung responded coolly, saying, `Before that, I'll start with 'Shudol', and Kim Jong-guk responded, `If it's this king, let's raise a child.'
Earlier in April, Kim Jong-guk purchased 243㎡ of the second exclusive area of Appelbaum, a luxury villa in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for about 6.2 billion won. It was known that the purchase was made in full cash without a collateral security and was certified as 'cash rich'. The house was also slightly revealed on SBS 'My Ugly Baby', further fueling the 'New Wedding House Preparation Rumor'.
When Heo Kyung-hwan asked "Brother, are you preparing to get married now?" on the broadcast at the time, Kim Jong-guk drew attention by giving a meaningful answer "You have to prepare to get married." "I'm not going to have a housewarming party because I'm afraid my wife will have a hard time." also joked, raising questions once again.
