Jaejoong makes a meaningful statement: ”I'm at an age where it wouldn't be strange for me to release relationship rumors”

Singer and actor Kim Jaejoong and Hyomin (T-ARA) reveal their friendship.

On the 25th (today), KBS 2TV's “New Product Release - Convenience Store Restaurant” (hereinafter referred to as “Convenience Store Restaurant”) will air a segment showing Jaejoong's filial daily life. Recently, Jaejoong made a set of four side dishes to fill the refrigerator for his mother, who was suffering from leg pain. During this process, his marriage issue resurfaced, bringing big laughs to viewers on Friday night.

In the video clip aired on this day, Jaejoong, unlike usual, saw the empty refrigerator at his parents' house and said, “I'll fill the refrigerator for you,” and started cooking for his parents. One of the dishes was Nabak Kimchi, a cool and refreshing kimchi that helps alleviate the summer heat. As previously shown on the same program, Jaejooong regularly makes various types of kimchi, such as Kakutugi, radish salad, and cucumber kimchi stuffed with fillings, and he perfectly crafted Nabak Kimchi in his own unique way, eliciting admiration.

　Upon seeing the unexpectedly large amount of Nabak Kimchi, he called someone to give it to a friend. The friend, who is a close neighbor and often receives food prepared by Jaejoong, sparked his mother's curiosity. “Is it a woman? A man?” she asked, clearly intrigued. When a woman appeared on the call, she immediately broke into a brighter smile than usual.

　However, the close friend Jaejoong called was Hyomin, who had just gotten married in April this year. Upon hearing this fact, the mother couldn't hide her disappointment. But she quickly asked her son to set up a blind date, which made everyone laugh. In response, Hyomin said, “I'll keep it in mind,” but added, “But he's so popular, I think he'll manage it himself.” Jaejoong's mother asked, “What would you do if he were that popular?” with a direct question that made the studio burst into laughter. What was the sharp comment from Jaejoong's mother?

On that day, the regular cast members watching the video said, “You're living like this, and then suddenly you'll say you're getting married?” and “We'll celebrate, so tell us in advance.” In response, Jaejoong said, “At my age, it wouldn't be surprising if rumors of a romantic relationship started,” calming everyone down, and then added, “If I get a girlfriend, I'll announce it on this show first,” bringing laughter to the studio.

Jaejoong and Hyomin's friendship, along with Jaejoong's cryptic remarks that sparked everyone's suspicion, will be revealed on KBS 2TV's Convenience Store Restaurant, airing on Friday, the 25th, at 8:30 PM.
