Running ManThe "Running Man" cast couldn’t hide their shock when Kim Jong-kook dropped wedding news.

On the Aug. 31 episode of SBS’s "Running Man", Kim pulled each member aside before filming to share that he’s getting married. When he approached Ji Suk-jin, he joked, “I tracked you down so you can’t skip my wedding.”

“Who’s getting married?” Ji asked. When Kim said it was him, Ji blurted, “You’re getting married?”

Still convinced it was a bit for the show, Ji quipped, “So that’s today’s concept? You’re the bride, right?”

“It’s real,” Kim insisted.

Even then, the cast struggled to process the bombshell. Seeing their stunned faces, Ji Ye-eun asked, “Why didn’t you tell me?” then, still bewildered, followed up: “Wait―are you actually getting married?”

“It’s happening―I’m getting married,” Kim said, adding, “I’ll do my best to build a happy life,” sending shockwaves through the room all over again.
