Kim Jong Kook expresses desire for children, intrigued by pregnancy tips

Singer Kim Jong Kook drew attention by naturally sharing his sincere thoughts about family and having children during a special trip with his mother, who recently celebrated her 80th birthday. Kim, who has typically maintained a cautious attitude toward marriage, is drawing intense interest from fans after directly expressing his desire for children, stating, "My future needs to come out soon."

On the 9th, a video titled "PT that even a mother past 80 cannot avoid... (Feat. Mother)" was released on the YouTube channel 'Kim Jong Kook GYM JONG KOOK.'

The video captures a special trip organized for his mother, who turned 80 last year, showcasing Kim's affectionate side as a son—a stark contrast to his charismatic stage persona.

In the video description, Kim explained, "My mother turned 80 last year, but due to various complicated matters, I couldn't hold a proper event for her. Although it's late, we took a sudden trip to celebrate her birthday."

He continued, "In the past, I used to travel abroad with my mother about once a year, but now that I will have my own family and my mother is getting older, I felt that this might be the last time we travel just the two of us."

He added special meaning to the trip, saying, "I returned having spent such a happy time, as if I had received an unexpected gift."

During the video, Kim's wishes for a family were also naturally revealed.

After finishing the trip, while watching Jeong HaeRin, the young daughter of an acquaintance, see off his mother, Kim expressed his longing, saying, "If I had a daughter just like Jeong HaeRin, it would have been so nice to take her along with my mother."

He then burst into laughter, saying, "Now, Jeong HaeRin's younger sibling needs to come out soon," adding, "My future," as he expressed his honest expectations for children.

Although Kim has sometimes been misunderstood as being against marriage due to his intense focus on fitness and self-management, he has consistently expressed his thoughts on marriage and parenthood through various broadcasts and YouTube.

In fact, during the KBS 2TV variety show 'Problem Child in House' broadcast last April, he actively participated in discussions regarding pregnancy and shared his realistic concerns.

At that time, Kim said, "When I had a sperm test in the past, I heard from the doctor that it is good to have sexual intercourse with a gap of about four days."

In response, obstetrician and gynecologist Kim Ji-yeon explained, "Recent research results report that if you are planning for pregnancy, having sexual intercourse every day starting about 5 to 6 days before the ovulation date can help increase the probability of pregnancy."

Obstetrician and gynecologist Chu Seong-il, who also appeared, added, "Synthesizing the studies published to date, it is known that if one is aiming for pregnancy, having regular intercourse is more effective than just having it every day."

However, the medical community advises that since the possibility of pregnancy is influenced by various factors—such as the woman's ovulation period and age, the health status of both partners, and infertility—there may be differences depending on individual circumstances. They emphasize the importance of establishing an appropriate plan through professional consultation and medical examination.

Kim has recently been balancing YouTube content and broadcast activities, revealing his healthy lifestyle and family-oriented daily life. In particular, he is building rapport with fans by consistently sharing his filial piety toward his parents and his sincere thoughts on marriage and children. In this video, his simple but warm trip with his 80-year-old mother and his heartfelt wish that "my future comes out soon" have garnered significant support from viewers.
