In a letter to his fans on Monday, the star revealed he’s getting married but kept his partner’s identity a secret.

Kim only mentioned that the wedding will be a small, private event for close family and friends, leaving the public buzzing with curiosity about the mystery woman.

Yet, with the bride’s identity unrevealed, various rumors are circulating online. One overseas Korean community claimed, “Kim Jong Kook’s wife is a 38-year-old CEO of a beauty startup residing in Los Angeles, USA.”

Another community is abuzz with the theory that she is “the youngest daughter of a famous English instructor, 20 years his junior, working in the overseas sales team of a major corporation.”

Some reports also suggested that “the bride approached Kim Jong Kook first, aware of their age difference.” However, all these details remain unconfirmed speculation.
