Kim Sook said, “I was the only one preparing for the wedding” ... Speculation about marriage with Koo Bon-seung has ultimately come to an end.
Kim Sook and Koo Bon-seung's relationship has been clarified as 'friends' rather than 'something more,' effectively bringing the marriage rumors that had circulated for some time to a close.
On Dec. 3, on MBC’s entertainment show ‘Save Me! Homes,’ comedian Paeng Hyun-sook appeared as a guest and shared the secrets of her 36-year marriage to her husband Choi Yang-rak, showcasing her lively conversation skills.
That day, Paeng Hyun-sook mentioned, “We kiss every day, but we sleep in separate rooms. We need to sleep separately so our bodies don’t wear out.”
Amid this, a direct question was thrown at Kim Sook. Paeng Hyun-sook said, “The reason Sook has kept her muscles at 50 is because she doesn’t resolve them. She'll live until 100,” and then quickly asked, “By the way, will you be living alone until 150?” Kim Sook replied bitterly, “Yes,” which elicited a sense of disappointment.
Afterward, Paeng Hyun-sook directly mentioned her relationship with Koo Bon-seung, heating up the atmosphere. When she asked, “I saw an article after that day. It said there was a ‘October 7 wedding rumor,’ what’s going on?” Kim Sook explained, “My husband doesn’t know; I’ve been preparing for a wedding by myself. Park Myung-soo recommended a good date,” essentially acknowledging a 'wedding without my husband,' which brought laughter.
However, despite the cheerful jokes, this essentially confirms that the marriage rumors have been resolved through recent broadcasts.
On the 4th, Kim Sook appeared on tvN’s 'You Quiz on the Block,' and regarding her relationship with Koo Bon-seung, she clearly stated, “Bon-seung oppa is just a good oppa. No, it’s more like a comfortable friendship.” When Yoo Jae-suk joked, “Is the ultherapy because of Koo Bon-seung?” Kim Sook responded, “I hope we can stop talking about Jeong-soo oppa (Yoon Jeong-soo),” strongly drawing the line.
The two met through KBS2’s 'Pursuing Old Encounters,' where they displayed couple-like chemistry through after-dates, managing meals, and natural skinship, creating excitement among many viewers. Koo Bon-seung later made surprise appearances on various programs featuring Kim Sook, showing a continued connection.
Fans had hopes that “maybe they really are good together,” but with Kim Sook’s direct clarification, their relationship was concluded as 'close colleagues and friends.' Netizens expressed mixed feelings, commenting, “It’s a pity,” “I believed in the marriage rumors and even prepared a bouquet,” “They really suited each other, but it's bittersweet to hear they are just friends,” and “Still, their relationship is cheerful and visually appealing.”
Kim Sook's unique liveliness and straightforwardness, along with the cheerful resolution of their relationship, have become another memorable moment in entertainment. Ultimately, Kim Sook and Koo Bon-seung's 'something more' has been put to a definitive end.
