Kim Jong-min from 'Groom Class' shared behind-the-scenes stories of his wedding, bringing great laughter.
On the broadcast of Channel A's 'Current Men's Life - Groom Class' (hereafter referred to as 'Groom Class') episode 162, aired on the 7th, Kim Jong-min shared an update on his life as a husband just four days after his wedding, while showcasing his enduring friendship with the members of Koyote on a heartwarming day. Also, Jang Woo-hyuk enjoyed his first date with actress Son Sung-yoon, whom he had previously met on a blind date, leading to natural physical interactions that heightened expectations for their future meetings. According to Nielsen Korea, that day's broadcast recorded a viewership rating of 2.2% among paid TV households nationwide and topped various portal sites' 'Most Viewed News.'
After holding his wedding on April 20, Kim Jong-min met with Shin Ji on that day and headed to the event venue. Being just '4 days into being a married man,' he attended his first Koyote event schedule in the car, showing Shin Ji the 'wedding guest list' and sharing that he was 'taking the time to return thanks.' Observing this, the 'studio mentor group' asked, 'So, did the results of the money gifts come out? We are curious if it's in the black or red,' to which Kim Jong-min responded, 'Thanks to your interest, it ended up in the red,' bringing laughter to everyone. 'Entertainment Department Chief' Moon Se-yoon joked, 'Is that why you started attending events the day after the wedding?' causing everyone to burst into laughter.
When the topic of Kim Jong-min's wedding came up, Shin Ji recalled, 'Lee Jeok's song during the wedding made Lee Hyori cry.' Kim Jong-min began, 'The top wedding song was undoubtedly Dongbang,' adding that, 'His wife, a huge fan of Yunho, held my hand during the wedding song, but let go when Dongbang appeared.' However, he expressed his gratitude to Yunho, saying, 'As long as my wife is happy, the Dongbang wedding song event was a success.'
In a cheerful atmosphere, the two arrived at the event venue and joined Baekga as 'full members.' After the three spiritedly conducted the event, they went out for dinner. Upon arriving at the restaurant, Kim Jong-min prepared a surprise event for the two who had performed a wedding song and given a congratulatory speech at his wedding. He set up a 'Koyote friendship photo' frame he had brought from home and a garland that said, 'Even after getting married and having children, Koyote forever!' This touched Shin Ji and Baekga. Shin Ji commented, 'After getting married, you've become an event king, haven't you?' and Kim Jong-min explained, 'My wife suggested the event out of gratitude for Koyote, and I prepared everything myself,' revealing his efforts behind the scenes. He later added, 'When you both get married later, I want to travel with you as couples. That's my dream. Koyote is a family brought together by heaven!' and recited a handwritten letter he composed, adding to the emotion.
Shin Ji said, 'If we continue Koyote activities after getting married, wouldn't that be some kind of Guinness record?' and added, 'I’m so happy that you got married.' Kim Jong-min replied, 'Now that I'm married, I can go out to eat with my wife without feeling awkward. Physical affection comes naturally,' expressing his happiness. He also emphasized, 'I haven't had any fights yet. I'm also in charge of doing the dishes and taking out the trash!' Finally, Kim Jong-min held a 'flower boutonniere toss' event, during which Baekga slid past Shin Ji to catch the boutonniere, showing his determination regarding marriage. 'Groomz' member Kim Il-woo also received the boutonniere thrown by 'new groom' Kim Jong-min in the studio and sent a video message to Park Sun-young saying, 'Take care of me~,' bringing the scene into chaos.
Following Kim Jong-min's story, the scene of Jang Woo-hyuk and Son Sung-yoon's first date was revealed. On that day, Jang Woo-hyuk enjoyed a tennis date with Son Sung-yoon. He praised Son Sung-yoon, who was dressed in tennis attire, saying, 'You look like a single tulip blooming on the grass.' He then asked, 'People around have said that you seem like a nice person. I'm curious about what you heard about me.' Son Sung-yoon replied, 'Hwang Bo unnie said, 'Woo-hyuk oppa is really reliable and a good person.' Also, people around said you are very cute,' smiling. Jang Woo-hyuk responded, 'Actually, I do have that side,' with a satisfied smile.
While playing tennis, the two naturally engaged in 'high-five physical interaction' before heading to a restaurant recommended by Son Sung-yoon's acquaintance. There, Son Sung-yoon called out, 'Oppa~' to the restaurant owner, which made Jang Woo-hyuk feel a bit awkward, but once the owner learned they were newlyweds, he immediately beamed. When Son Sung-yoon asked, 'Aren't you surprised or burdened to suddenly meet my acquaintances?' Jang Woo-hyuk replied, 'I'm not that kind of person,' and then admitted in a candid interview, 'Seeing an old acquaintance shows that they like me,' making the 'studio mentor group' burst out laughing.
During the meal, Jang Woo-hyuk subtly asked, 'How do you usually resolve fights in a relationship?' Son Sung-yoon replied, 'I tell my partner, 'I'm feeling a bit sensitive right now.' Jang Woo-hyuk responded to the same question, saying, 'I've never had a girlfriend. This is my first time playing tennis, and my first time walking together. Everything is new!' making Son Sung-yoon laugh heartily. The two also shared their thoughts on marriage. Son Sung-yoon expressed, 'I think it would be good if it’s someone like a friend. Character is important. I would consider someone if they are stable financially.' Jang Woo-hyuk nodded and asked, 'Isn’t it usually difficult for the girl to ask for an 'after meeting' after a blind date?' Son Sung-yoon acknowledged, 'Sometimes it's natural to promise the next meeting, but I'm not very proactive. It takes time for me to get to know someone.' This prompted Jang Woo-hyuk to directly ask, 'So, will you request an after meeting today?' coloring the atmosphere with a pink hue. It remains to be seen if the two will be able to arrange their third meeting.
