The dating rumors between Kim Jong-kook and Yoon Eun-hye seem to be continuing for about 19 years this year. This week on “Running Man,” even Kim Jong-kook’s close friend Yoo Jae-suk directly mentioned Yoon Eun-hye, adding to the intrigue.
On the 13th episode of SBS’s “Running Man,” while heading to Sky Park, Kim Jong-kook said, “I’ve never been to Sky Park, only the gym.” Yoo Jae-suk responded, “Jong-kook has nowhere he has been; he doesn’t go outside,” adding, “You should go there on a date…” which made everyone laugh. He then jokingly suggested, “Should I introduce you to someone? How about a special episode for single people in their 50s, featuring celebrities?”
When the two arrived at Sky Park, Yoo Jae-suk laughed at Kim Jong-kook’s continuous chatter, saying, “You look like a retired Superman; I’m just taking on the role of nagging for the other members,” expressing his frustration with Kim’s chatter during their walk, resembling a middle-aged couple bickering.
Suddenly, as Kim Jong-kook exclaimed “Pair! Pair!” and turned into a “pair villain,” Yoo Jae-suk said, “I’m getting stressed; if you keep urging me like this, I’ll talk.” He suddenly mentioned “Eun-hye,” which surprised Kim Jong-kook, causing him to glare at Yoo Jae-suk and laugh. A strange silence flowed between the two, adding to the intrigue.
Earlier, when appearing on the show “Knowing Brothers” broadcast on July 17, Yoon Eun Hye was asked by the MCs about her love affair with Kim Jong Kook. The actress did not dodge the question but did not directly explain. She said at that time everyone asked her if she was dating Kim Jong Kook. Even her parents were curious. Moreover, Yoon Eun Hye also revealed, “My parents also encouraged us to date.“
19 years ago, Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye were placed in the same team on the show X-Man. At that time, when asked by the opposing team if he hated Yoon Eun Hye, because he had to answer “of course”, he shyly covered the actress’s ears so she wouldn’t get hurt.
This act quickly became the moment of a lifetime for the couple. Since then, the two have been constantly “shipped” by fans. Besides, netizens also wondered if the couple had ever dated after the show. However, after many years this question remains unanswered.
