On December 17 episode of SBS' television show 'My Little Old Boy', Kim Jong-kook met entertainer siblings Jonathan and Patricia.
While the three spoke together, Jonathan asked Kim Jong-kook when he started living by himself.
Kim Jong-kook answered, "It wasn't too long ago. I moved out of my parents' house after 40. I think I was 43 then."
He began to explain why he did not move out until he was 43 years old, "When I was active as Turbo, my agency even provided me a place to live. But I chose to live in my parents' home. I just felt better at their home."
He went into details after that, "You'll most likely to have a healthier lifestyle if you live with your parents. And you won't have to worry about every little thing in life. That's why I stayed there."
Kim Jong-kook replied, "No, there was nothing to feel uncomfortable about. I did everything for my mom."
Then, Kim Jong-kook paused for a bit and said, "Actually... Maybe the fact that I couldn't take my girlfriend home...?"
Patricia laughed and curiously asked, "In that case, did you go on more dates after you moved out of your parents' home?"
Kim Jong-kook told her, "Well... If you live alone, you'll have more room in your heart, psychologically speaking. But yeah... I mean..."; he struggled to properly finish his sentence.
Kim Jong-kook thought for a moment, then responded, "A short while ago, I stayed at my parents' place for like four days during the holidays. And... I wanted to go home. To my home. I thought I would really miss living with my parents once I started living by myself, but that was surprisingly not the case."
His honest answer made both Jonathan and Patricia fall about laughing.
