Comedian Kim Sook has sent away all the men around her. Her ex-husband from the virtual marriage, Yoon Jung-soo, announced his marriage to a partner 12 years younger, and her relationship with Koo Bon-seung, which had sparked excitement on 'Pursuing Old Encounters,' was ultimately defined as 'friends' rather than a 'thing.'
According to a media source on the 8th, Yoon Jung-soo is in a romantic relationship with his Pilates instructor who is 12 years younger, with the premise of marriage. The two met as acquaintances 6 to 7 years ago and developed their relationship into a romantic one earlier this year. Yoon Jung-soo also made a surprising announcement in the preview of the MBC show 'Save Me! Holmes,' stating, 'I have someone I am meeting with the premise of marriage. Both families have met, and we plan to marry this year.'
The startling news of Yoon Jung-soo's marriage caught the MCs of 'Save Me! Holmes' off guard. In particular, Kim Sook, who had formed a virtual couple relationship with Yoon Jung-soo on 'My Partner is a Season 2 - The Greatest Love,' showed her surprise by spilling coffee on the floor. She expressed her mixed feelings, saying, 'I thought you would be by my side for life...'
Yoon Jung-soo asked Kim Sook, 'I hope you can definitely attend the wedding and give a congratulatory speech. I feel like it would mean a lot if you permit it,' adding a meaningful request.
The two had previously drawn attention by writing a memorandum stating, 'If both of us are still single by February 8, 2030, let's get married,' even getting it notarized by a lawyer. However, this promise ultimately remained unfulfilled.
Meanwhile, before sending Yoon Jung-soo away, Kim Sook also wrapped up her 'thing' with Koo Bon-seung. Last month, when she appeared on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' to celebrate her 30th anniversary, she was asked by Yoo Jae-suk, 'Is the reason you had the Ultherapy treatment because of your 30th anniversary, or because of Koo Bon-seung?' She drew a line, saying, 'Bon-seung oppa is just a good oppa, like a comfortable friend.'
Kim Sook and Koo Bon-seung received support from viewers for their exciting chemistry on KBS2's variety show 'Pursuing Old Encounters.' The show featured natural skinship and affectionate moments, leading them to be selected as the final couple, and rumors of marriage circulated. However, they eventually remained 'close friends.'
Some fans expressed regret over Kim Sook's stance, saying, 'They really looked good together, it's a pity.'
