"I'm getting married. Honestly, I've been trying to drop little hints here and there...but I'm sure a lot of people still feel like it came out of the blue," Jong Kook wrote. "This year is the 30th anniversary of my debut, and instead of making the album I wanted, I found my 'soulmate,'" he continued.
