Kim Sook Addresses Marriage Rumors with Koo Bon-seung on 'Home for Rent'

On the July 3 episode of MBC's Home for Rent (구해줘홈즈), Kim Sook indirectly clarified that the rumors about her marriage to Koo Bon-seung are unfounded. The show featured a variety of discussions, including a humorous segment on the year's entertainment trend of 'slow aging.' AI-generated images of the cast's future appearances were revealed, causing laughter among the members. Notably, Kim Sook's AI image showed no signs of aging, prompting jokes from her co-stars about her already looking old.

Special guest Paeng Hyun-sook shared insights into her 36-year marriage, humorously stating, "We kiss every day but sleep in separate rooms to keep our bodies in good shape." She also complimented Kim Sook, saying, "Your muscles are intact because you haven't been touched, and your preservation is museum-level," which led to more laughter.

However, the lighthearted atmosphere shifted when Paeng Hyun-sook directly asked Kim Sook about the marriage rumors with Koo Bon-seung, referencing an article that claimed they would wed on October 7. Kim Sook appeared flustered and explained, "I only received the date; my husband doesn't know about it. Park Myung-soo recommended it as a good day." This playful acknowledgment of a 'husband-less wedding' added to the humor of the situation.

Recently, Kim Sook's relationship with Koo Bon-seung had sparked speculation about a romantic connection, with her close friend Choi Kang-hee publicly expressing her desire to see them married. Kim Sook had also mentioned that she was in private contact with Koo Bon-seung, raising expectations.

Ultimately, during the broadcast, Kim Sook confirmed that the marriage rumors were indeed false. While she had a good date in mind, the absence of a groom elicited both laughter and sympathy from the audience. Online reactions included comments like, "Is their romance already over?" and "Will Kim Sook really remain single?"
