Popular Korean singer and TV personality, Kim Jong Kook has shared the main reason why he turns down all attempts by friends to set him up on blind dates.
During the Problem Child in House episode aired on May 29, actors Lee Min Jung and Kim Jae Won appeared as guests to promote their new show Heart on Wheels.
Lee Min Jung revealed that she had tried hard to set up Kim Jong Kook, who is also a close friend of her husband, Lee Byung Hun, with someone, but her efforts failed when Kim Jong Kook outright rejected the invitation.
“I tried so hard to introduce him to someone, but he just refused and said ‘no way’,” she said.
Kim Jong Kook then explained that he feels uncomfortable with the concept of blind dates. He stated that after going on such dates, he feels a sense of responsibility to share how the experience went with others.
“Blind dates make me feel uneasy.
After the date, I feel like I have to talk about how it went…” Kim Jong Kook elaborated.
Lee Min Jung also mentioned that she had even tried to introduce Kim Jong Kook to someone indirectly and naturally, but he still declined.
Lee Min Jung further shared that the person she wanted to introduce to Kim Jong Kook is now married and living happily with her husband.
In response, Kim Jong Kook casually mentioned that he knows the woman’s husband and described him as a good guy, which lightened the mood on the show’s set.
Meanwhile, Problem Child in House is a knowledge quiz show featuring hosts like Song Eun Yi, Kim Sook, Kim Jong Kook, Hong Jin Kyung, Yang Se Chan, and Joo Woo Jae, airing every Thursday at 8:30 PM on KBS 2. – BOOM!
