How can anyone forget the chemistry and drama that went on between Kim Jong-kook and Yoon Eun Hye during SBS‘ Xman in 2005? Many fans knew that the romance was scripted, but they couldn’t deny that the chemistry between the two was very tangible. During that time, both denied any allegations that they were dating. However, this just left fans even more curious of about relationship.
On the December 3, 2008 airing of KBS‘ Golden Fishery, Kim Jong-kook coyly admited to MC Kang Ho -dong the truth about their relationship- yes, they did go out.
So does this mean that Chae Yeon has a chance now?
Look forward to his confession next week.
If you missed out on the chemistry beforehand check out one of the historic episodes below.
Check out the preview of Golden Fishery below.


They did go out but not anymore??
3rd…
2nd
i like him with chae yeon BETTER!! X)
is the relationship a past tense or still going on ???
i iike them together .. they are well matched ^^
I’m betting you can blindfold this guy with a piece of string. o.O
what the heck?! he neverrrrr said they actually dated.
i wish though
I wish. Gosh
why is this a scandal?
how is it that when a celebrity is dating, it is called a scandal? why is it not just “a past relationship?”
hes cute
popseoul. as usual….taking the worse pics and putting it on front.
-_-;;;;
they look so bad on those pic lol
i just can’t understand how they refer the term “scandal” to celebrities dating each other. it’s not like they made a sex tape or something. O_o
he lost lots of weight! looking good though!
he never said, “yes, we dated.” -.- whatever, theyre probably friends, why can’t it be just that. even if they did date, uh so what?
what the hell? what happened to Kim Jong Kook’s face in the second video. he looks gross, personally. i like his large face with curly natural hair better
hahas kim jong kook, i loved those old xman series, so fun ^^ totally hahas but YEH would flirt with Eric too!!~ hahas narh, i bet you her parts with eric were DEFINITELY kiddings beecause she always made eric all embarrased ^^
AHHHHH i just got it!!! Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye got it on! hahaha i can’t beleive Jong Kook said that on tv. that is pretty scandalous actually
*smiles* i knew it.
He’s so ugly
i think it was just a joke before..!!
but personally, i much feel touched on what Lee minki said..
Why you must have everything??
Love it!!
…i never believed that xman was really scripted. dang, they must be a whole bunch of a REALLY good actors & actresses. anyway, i hope kim jong gook & chae yeon go out, but i think kim jong gook will eventually get tired of chae yeon. she seems too clingy.
i feel sorry for YEH because KJK admitted thaton TV. who does that? it seems kinda’ desperate…
ㅋㅋㅋ…당연하지…
아우!~
what?? this big idiot has no fuking manners or any brains does he?
how can he admit that on tv?
YEH has always and will always be too good for this animal!
~Finally, the truth… Everyone can stop pretending that the so called ‘romance’ even existed and move on with other celebrities romance (which are true) … ~
mmm. KJK YEH hwaiting.!<3
hes ugly…maybe its the camera.
i dont like him..
haha oh man i miss those days
way to be a discreet gentleman, ass.
I don’t like him either… YEH could do better.
omg he was so freaking cute in that video! covering her ears…*squeals!*
he never said they did….ridiculous
is this news though … everybody knew something was up
i agree, how come “dating” can be called a scandal?
YEH went out with KJK?
what’s wrong with her? she’s a top actress and he’s an old singer! YEH could do so much better!
they should just marry already!ive been waiting for them to announce their relationship for soooooo longgg!
didn’t kjk say he went along with the script of golden fishery to make the show more interesting when he was asked by khd about his so-called scandal? so there really was nothing there.
PS, you are talking nonsense. Where’s the scandal? I love both guys. Was this scripted? YEH was blushing all the while in the background as she listened to them. Nice video.
can u keep us up to date with this topic?
never liked both of em never will!
i hope yeh did not go out w/ this guy. i’ve seen this guy a few times in tv and he just looks so very weird. there’s just nothing about him.
hey thunder why dont you go watch x man?
@twilighter~
what do you mean up to date? the episode hasn’t even aired yet…
it was scripted?? how come i didn’t know that!! does that mean all the jokes & dangyunhaji were also scripted??!! Dang… what a smart writer then!
anyway, kjk-yeh’s rumor is too old to be republicized now! let’s move on… will you, kim jong kook?
ugh!
The only reason why this article was worth anything was because of Lee Minki XD
not putting you down Popseoul, I love you guys. It’s just… YHE and KJK don’t really interest me.
Dingdong, the games and discussions weren’t scripted… the show’s discussion points and questions and some of the love situations (such as the couples pairings) were sometimes scripted.
HOLYYY CRAP! just another case *after minwoo, or maybe the other way around but due to the time this is expose* where it proves variety can also be real life too =]
i like YEH and tho im not much for KJK, i am a huge fan of Xman.
For those sayin that Xman was all scripted, here’s an interview with the Xman PD who’s saying there are cue cards but no scripts, not even for the MC.
[프로그램따라잡기] X맨을 찾아라
기사입력 2006-01-16 00:38 |최종수정2006-01-16 00:38
[스 포츠서울] X맨은 시청률 효자다. 심리추리 버라이어티 프로그램을 표방한 ‘‘X맨을 찾아라’(이하 ‘X맨’) 코너는 SBS ‘일요일이 좋다’가 평균 시청률 20%대를 유지하는데 결정적인 역할을 하고 있다. 지난 2003년 11월9일 첫 방송을 한 ‘X맨’(장혁재 연출)은 학창시절 야유회에서 한번쯤 했을 ‘도둑잡기’ 게임을 응용한 코너다. 정체를 감춘 X맨을 찾아낸다는 설정 아래 출연 연예인들이 다양한 게임을 하면서 추리와 심리전을 펼치는 잔재미가 시청 포인트다. 몸풀기 및 단체 게임, ‘당연하지’와 ‘커플장사 만만세’ 코너 등으로 구성된 ‘X맨’의 제작 뒷얘기와 인기 비결 등을 짚어봤다.
◇13시간 논스톱 촬영!
‘X 맨’은 경기도 일산의 SBS탄현제작센터 내 스튜디오에서 월요일(격주 녹화) 오후 1시부터 다음날 새벽 2시까지 촬영된다. 때문에 간혹 녹화 중에 잠깐 눈을 붙이는 출연자도 나온다. 장혁재 PD는 “밤늦게까지 게임을 해야하기 때문에 체력이 달리는 경우가 있다. 그래서 특히 안전사고에 각별히 신경을 쓴다. 녹화에 들어가기 전 출연 연예인들에게 야유회에서 하루 잘 놀다간다는 기분으로 임해달라고 부탁한다”고 말했다.
◇대본없는 건 당연하지!
X맨의 실체는 메인 MC 유재석도 모른다. 방송 초기에는 제작진이 유재석에게 슬쩍 귀띔해줬다. 하지만, 유재석이 “프로그램의 재미가 반감될 수 있다”며 귀를 닫아버렸다. ‘X맨’은 기본적으로 대본없이 진행된다. 대신 녹화 현장에 작가 5명이 항상 대기해 그때 그때의 프로그램 방향을 메모로 출연진들에게 일러준다. 현장감을 최대한 살리면서 출연자들이 부담을 느끼지 않고, 자연스럽게 녹화를 진행하기 위해서다.
‘당 연하지’ 코너도 미리 짜여진 대본은 없다. 작가들이 강호동 팀, 박경림 팀 소속 출연자들에게 서로 상대편 연예인들에 관한 기본 정보를 제공해주고, 이를 토대로 출연자들이 ‘당연하지’의 대본을 즉석에서 만들어낸다. ‘X맨’이 낳은 김종국-윤은혜 커플도 각본에 의한 것이 아니라 자연스럽게 맺어진 경우다. 두 사람은 1년 넘게 이 코너의 고정 출연자로 활약했다가 잠시 헤어졌고, 지난해 7월 김종국이 파타야 특집 편으로 복귀한 것을 계기로 누가 먼저라고 할 것도 없이 X맨의 공식 커플이 됐다.
◇삼박자의 조화!
‘X 맨’의 첫번째 인기 비결은 유재석, 강호동, 박경림 등 MC들의 조화에 있다. 유재석은 출연자들의 기를 살려주면서 매끄럽게 프로그램을 이끌어간다. 강호동의 힘은 카리스마의 상징이고 ‘마당발’ 박경림은 폭넓은 친화력으로 양념 구실을 톡톡히 한다. 현장에서 출연진들과 항상 호흡을 같이 하는 PD와 작가들의 공도 빼놓을 수 없다. 스스럼없이 망가져(?) 주면서 프로그램 자체를 즐길 줄 아는 ‘하명국’ 트리오(하하, 박명수, 김종국) 등 출연자들의 헌신적인 노력도 ‘X맨’의 인기 원동력 가운데 하나다.
김용습기자 snoopy@
they made Xman a great show XD
b/c he just wants more hype for his new record.
eck.
so obvious.
really?! wow~~~~ i like them! ^^
But it’s only December 1st in Australia, surely they’re not two days ahead of us? I only noticed that ’cause the 3rd is my birthday =]
Star
xx
I thought they were still dating?
He look like Daesung in first pic (:
huh? he doesn’t admit anything, if the preview clip is the sole basis of the entry title.
Great exposure for both of them, especially KJK. Good job for his management.
사랑스러워~ >0<
Uh, Popseul, he didn’t admit anything based on those previews. You shouldn’t add white lies to make a better headline.
Anyway, he looks better with Chae Yeon. Atleast they don’t give out a brotherly-sisterly love like with Eun Hye. Gross!
i love the jongkook eunhye couple!
Oh, your new banner is nice. Reminds me Christmas is around the corner.
Chae Yeon seems to be a clingy girlfriend. I don’t like them together…he always looks embarassed while she looks at him adoringly…
The KJK YEH couple is MUCH better. They’re cute together and she’s a funny girl.
no i heard that it was just editted out well and kim jong gook said himself it wasnt a real scandal
These damn PDs and TV editores mess with my emotions! Stop bending the truth and give it to me straight!!!! “yay” *peace sign*
Aw bless *^^*
They look like a GREAT couple :3
In the second video clip, what happened to Kim Jong-kook’s face!? It looked as though he had a jaw reduction and a cheek implants, yikes!
I don’t consider this a scandal unless he already had a girlfriend at the time. And further more, WHO CARES?!
I knew it!!!
I always knew they were going out, it was soo obvious. and they even filmed that one music video together. (KJK’s)
hahah
i think they are a cute couple but i kind of hoped that they didnt date because if they did and they broke up then they are no chance that they would ever go on a variety show together anymore
i dont think these 2 ever dated.
why? because if they did, they are acting way too cool with one another.
KJK doesnt even talk to his other ex-girlfriend and YEH doesnt even mention anything about her other ex-boyfriend from ClickB.
I’m pretty sure all this “scandal” is just for publicity!
I mean if they hadn’t been an item during xman, Eun Hye wouldn’t be near as popular as she is today(even with her mediocre acting and looks)!
oh wow i cant wait to hear about this haha.
Chae Yeon will never stand a chance because Kim Jong Kook doesn’t like a DESPERATE girl like her, who keeps pushing herself onto him.
Kim Jong Kook likes a challenge and Chae Yeon is far from that. She is so easy to get and so agressive when it comes to KJK. Sh is basically waving her stinky underwear infront of his face saying “take me, I am yours”
He wants someone he can take home to meet him family…Chae Yeon is just a toy that you could play with, when you get tired you just leave it in a corner.
If Chae Yeon wants KJK she needs to have more class!
Argh! KJK is so desperate for attention. He keeps talking about the past which was ancient history. This guy can’t find any publicity any other way.
thanx mijo
i wish i could read Korean
well all i know is that those of us who’ve
followed both YEH and KJK’c careers r very
excited about this
these 2 r sooo compatible i want 2 c it 4 myself
thanx poseoul pls update as soon as it aires on wed
thanx……………………………………..
YEH is an awsome actress hello check out all her awards and at such a young age
and in X-man they never acted like bro and sis
please take time to know these 2 in x-man before u comment
I knew they were dating, I mean, didn’t one of PS’s articles said that YEH went to the wedding of KJK’s brother? And she was like, one of the first people that showed up to help out with the wedding or something like that.
Anyway, what I didn’t know was that they broke up!!! Did they really break up?
um KJK admitting to dating YEH? and this is based on the preview of an unaired ep? I think ppl are reading too much into it… we’ll find out later this week if he does tho
X-Man was scripted?? I don’t think so. ._.
Mmmhh… KBS or MBC? O__O Lol.
lol. KJK is sooo cute! love his voice.
Well popseoul… It even hasn’t aired yet!!!
Don’t take conclusion only based on the preview!!
And guys… please re-check before swallow it…
they never dated, why do you always assume. just cause of a preview? that doesn’t prove anything. now you should go and watch it.
I aggree, they never dated because he apologized.
have you guys watched that episode?
go watch it first before you guys judge wther they went out or not!
you people should not insult KJK because of the fact that he likes YEH.THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSNESS!
if they like each other and you guys do support either one of them, you should just wish them happness.
I love him better with eun hye…..
i love both of themmm
they suit each other.PERIOD.
