Singer Kim Jong Kook is at the center of controversy after publicly commenting on the value of the wedding gift given by broadcaster Jonathan at Jo Se Ho's wedding.

Lors d'un récent épisode de l'émission de variétés SBS Running Man, Kim Jong Kook, en conversation avec Yoo Jae Suk, a évoqué Jonathan en disant : "Jonathan n'a presque rien donné pour le cadeau de mariage lors du mariage de Jo Se Ho et il se gavait de nourriture."

Cette remarque, bien que faite sur le ton de la plaisanterie, a suscité des critiques parmi les téléspectateurs.

Some netizens find the comment insensitive to the financial burden young people face when giving money at weddings, especially during times of high inflation. They expressed that "criticizing a young person in their twenties, like Jonathan, about the amount given at a wedding—already an expensive event—is inappropriate."

Jonathan est né en février 2000 et est originaire de la République Démocratique du Congo.

On the other hand, some argue that "it’s just a variety show" and "it was just a joke that was supposed to be funny; is this really something that deserves so much criticism?"

Le mariage de Jo Se Ho, qui a eu lieu le 20 octobre avec une mariée non célèbre plus jeune de neuf ans, s'est déroulé à l'hôtel Shilla à Séoul.

The event featured many famous guests, including Yoo Jae Suk, Kim Jong Kook, and Jonathan, as well as celebrities from across the entertainment industry such as Lee Dong Wook, Gummy, and Taeyang, making for a lineup worthy of an awards ceremony.

Public attention for Jo Se Ho's wedding was huge, sparking interest in everything from the value of gifts given by celebrity guests to what they wore.
