Kim Jong Min, who has been in a public relationship, announced, "I will get married in February or March next year."

On the November 27th broadcast of Channel A’s 'These Days Men's Life - Groom Class,' Kim Jong Min was seen managing a local event schedule alongside his Koyote members.

That day, Kim Jong Min woke up in a lodging he had booked for the event. Early in the morning, he was seen messaging his girlfriend from bed. He explained, "I’m the type to keep in touch with her in real time, updating her with things like, ‘Wherever I go, where I’ve been.’"

When Lee Da Hae asked, "What is your girlfriend’s nickname for you?" Kim Jong Min revealed, "She has a unique way of saying, ‘Hee-yung-hee-yung~,’ so I call her ‘Hee-yung-ee.’" However, when Shim Jin Hwa asked what his girlfriend called him, he humorously replied, "It changes depending on what I’ve done wrong. For example, she’ll call me ‘Stubborn Jong Min,’" causing laughter.

Kim Jong Min then began his morning routine, brushing his teeth, taking supplements, and doing self-lifting exercises, looking well-groomed. He remarked, "I’ve been getting a lot of wrinkles lately, so I’m trying to take care of them," adding with a grin, "My girlfriend is a little young."

Later, at the event venue, Kim Jong Min made a surprise announcement after an energetic performance with Koyote. He shared, "I’m only now taking ‘groom lessons’ in my mid-40s. I hope I won’t be alone next year," earning warm applause from the audience.

Lee Da Hae chimed in, "It’s a total competition! We’re going to have a big year next year," referencing the rivalry between Park Hyun Ho, who is getting married on April 12th, and Kim Jong Min, who aims to marry earlier. Kim Jong Min replied, "I’m planning to get married in February or March," prompting Park Hyun Ho to playfully declare, "I’m your senior in the groom class!" showcasing their chemistry.

The following day, Kim Jong Min woke up early at his Hanok lodging, completed a run, and enthusiastically told Shinji and Baekga, "I’m going to make you a cauldron of samgyetang." While his passion for becoming the best groom impressed them, his inability to tie an apron by himself led Shinji to help. Despite this, Kim Jong Min boasted, "Do you know how hard I’ve been working in groom class? I’ll graduate soon and take over as the MC."

Kim Jong Min then lit the stove and boiled samgyetang, which he had ordered from a renowned Jeolla Province restaurant. He also displayed his romantic side by making heart-shaped tteokgalbi for his girlfriend and beautifully preparing fruits for his members.

Shinji, impressed by his transformation, commented, "(Jong Min) used to be a workaholic, but after dating, he’s changed. He even skipped Christmas events before. Now he’s much more considerate." Baekga agreed, adding, "His personality has definitely softened."

Shinji then recalled, "A fortuneteller once said that Jong Min oppa’s marriage would bring success for Koyote." This sent goosebumps through the group.

When the topic of marriage came up, Kim Jong Min asked, "If I get married, how much support can we give each other?" Baekga showed his loyalty, saying, "Now that your wedding is becoming a reality, I feel like I can do anything for you." Shinji nodded in agreement and brought up the topic of congratulatory money, but Kim Jong Min firmly waved his hand and said, "You guys shouldn’t give me any!"
