Koyote’s Kim Jong-min is returning. Although there was regret that his 18-year perfect attendance record on '1 Night 2 Days' would be broken due to a postponed honeymoon, Kim Jong-min, who spent the happiest time with his wife, is returning to broadcasting with a greater sense of responsibility as a 'husband' and 'head of the household'.
Kim Jong-min tied the knot with his non-celebrity girlfriend, who is 11 years younger, at the Shilla Hotel in Jangchung-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, on April 20th. His wife is known to be a businessman 11 years younger than him, and Kim Jong-min's nickname is 'Dtiruk', while his wife's nickname is 'Hiyung'. Kim Jong-min is called 'Dtiruk' because his belly has protruded a bit, and his wife is known as 'Hiyung' because she is always smiling.
The wedding ceremony was held lavishly. Since Kim Jong-min was not the only one getting married in the entertainment industry that day, with marriages for Shin Hyun-seop and Ailee also taking place, he worried about being a nuisance while sending out invitations. The ceremony's first part was hosted by Yoo Jae-suk, while the second part was handled by Cho Sae-ho and Moon Se-yoon. The congratulatory songs were performed by Dongbang, Lee Jeok, and Lyn, while many of Kim Jong-min's colleagues from the entertainment world, including Koyote members Shin Ji and Baekga, Lee Hyo-ri, Uhm Jung-hwa, Jang Su-won, Kim Sang-hyuk, Lee Min-woo, Tony An, and Hwasa, attended to congratulate him and support his rosy future.
Kim Jong-min postponed his honeymoon for about a month. The reason was due to broadcast and event schedules that he had arranged before marriage. After completing these commitments, he decided to take his time before leaving, and it was further regrettable due to the passing of Koyote member Baekga's mother. As the leader and eldest brother, Kim Jong-min stayed by Baekga's side.
After wrapping up his scheduled commitments, Kim Jong-min went on his honeymoon to France on the 27th of last month. He planned a honeymoon period of about three weeks, during which he wanted to give his tired body and mind, worn out from a busy schedule, some rest, while spending happy moments with his wife that he would not experience again.
Unfortunately, due to his honeymoon, Kim Jong-min's great record in the entertainment industry came to an end. His perfect attendance record on KBS2's '1 Night 2 Days Season 4' was broken. Beginning with Season 1 of '1 Night 2 Days' in 2007 and continuing through Season 4, Kim Jong-min had never missed a single episode, except for a brief absence as a social service worker, but he had to sadly end his record due to this honeymoon.
Having spent a happy honeymoon with his wife, Kim Jong-min will return to work mode starting on the 16th. According to OSEN's report on the 10th, Kim Jong-min, who has now become a 'husband' and 'head of the household', is scheduled to return to broadcasting through filming for Channel A's 'Now Meeting You' on the 16th. After finishing the sweet honeymoon, there are expectations to hear his impressions, and more.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-min gained recognition as a dancer in the choreography team 'Friends' and made his official debut in the entertainment industry in 2000 through Koyote's third album 'Passion'. He has since been active in various entertainment shows alongside his work with Koyote.
