Leader of the mixed group Koyote, Kim Jong-min, is getting married.
On the 20th, a wedding ceremony will be held at the Shilla Hotel's Yeongbin-gwan in Jangchung-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, between Kim Jong-min and his 11-year younger fiancée. The ceremony will take place privately with only family, relatives, and close friends in consideration of the non-celebrity fiancée.
Before the wedding ceremony, a photo wall will be held where Kim Jong-min will personally attend and shine. Since the fiancée is a non-celebrity, Kim Jong-min will stand alone at the photo wall, and after the photo time, he is expected to share his feelings about the wedding through a brief interview. Additionally, guests attending on that day will also stand at the photo wall to cheer on Kim Jong-min's new beginning.
Kim Jong-min, who revealed he had a girlfriend through various entertainment shows, personally shared the wedding news on the KBS2 program "2 Days & 1 Night Season 4" that aired on Jan. 12. In a press conference format, Kim Jong-min announced the wedding date and took questions from the members. Kim Jong-min noted, "I never thought that day would be today," sharing his emotional wedding news.
Kim Jong-min's wedding will be conducted in two parts. The host for the first part will be Yoo Jae-suk, who has collaborated with Kim Jong-min on many entertainment programs. The second part will be hosted by his "2 Days & 1 Night" colleagues, Mun Sae-yoon and Cho Sae-ho. The congratulatory songs are expected to be performed by Lee Jeok and Lynn, and Kim Jong-min plans to go on a honeymoon to France after the wedding.
After the wedding announcement, Kim Jong-min shared the wedding preparations through programs such as "Groom Class." He expressed his desire regarding children, saying, "I want to have a daughter first and then a son," and also showed affection by mentioning that his fiancée's nickname is "Hiyung."
Kim Jong-min, who had gained attention as a dancer for artists like Uhm Jung-hwa, made his debut in the mixed group Koyote in 2000. After leader Kim Gu withdrew due to a drug incident, Kim Jong-min has served as the leader and gained attention through numerous entertainment programs.
Although he appears awkward, his charm makes him impossible to hate, capturing the audience's attention. Since winning the Best Entertainer Award at the KBS Entertainment Awards in 2006, he has won the Grand Award at the KBS Entertainment Awards in 2016. From 2021 to 2024, he has been named for the KBS Entertainment Awards' Entertainer of the Year each year, receiving much love.
