Kim Sook

addressed the widely circulated October 7 wedding chatter surrounding

Goo Bon-seung

on KBS2's 'Problem Child in House,' explaining that the date started as playful banter.

How the buzz spread

A Jeju fishing video featuring the two resurfaced in feeds just as entertainment coverage recycled an autumn date first tossed out jokingly by

Park Myung-soo

, allowing a quip to harden into a perceived timeline. Subsequent write-ups blurred reality with talk-show banter, turning moments of chemistry and panel teasing into a serialised courtship arc that audiences eagerly followed across platforms.

Why it became a big deal

As the show’s ‘final couple,’ the pair’s on-screen chemistry encouraged fans to read later mentions as genuine updates, creating a cross-program storyline that kept audiences hooked. Clips and anecdotes moved easily between TV and YouTube, ensuring the narrative stayed sticky within algorithm-driven feeds. With headline-friendly cues like ‘October 7'.

Where things stand

The clarification indicates there is no fixed ceremony, with the date traced back to a colleague’s offhand mention of a favourite day rather than any formal scheduling. With no official announcement, the situation remains cordial but undefined, and any genuine development would be expected to emerge through formal statements rather than casual studio remarks.

Kim Sook,50, is a veteran comedian and host known for sharp improv and an unfiltered variety presence across broadcast and digital platforms, attributes that help moments travel quickly and widely in Korean entertainment media. Goo Bon-seung,53, is an actor and variety regular associated with a courteous, outdoorsy image, whose recent appearances overlapped with and amplified the evolving narrative around the pair.
