Singer and entertainer Kim Jong-min is officially a married man—and his nervous yet heartfelt expression said it all.
On April 20, Kim held a private wedding ceremony at The Shilla Hotel in Jangchung-dong, Seoul. His bride is a non-celebrity, and the ceremony was attended only by family, close friends, and acquaintances.
💍 A One-Man Press Conference, for Love
Out of respect for his wife's privacy, Kim appeared solo at the press conference and photo wall. Standing alone in front of the cameras, he formed a heart with his hands—his love clearly visible.
"I'm so nervous and excited… it's a strange feeling," Kim shared.
"It feels like a new chapter in life is about to begin—Act 2 of my life."

When asked about the reactions from friends, Kim didn't miss a beat:
"The married ones were truly happy for me. The single ones… I'm not so sure," he joked.
He also spoke on behalf of his Koyote bandmates:
"Now that I'm married, I hope Shinji and Baekga will also share some good news soon."
