Running Man Producer And Idols Expose Kim Jong Kook’s True Character
Kim Jong Kook is a veteran of the K-Pop industry who has been active as a singer for over 20 years. He debuted in 1995 as a part of the group Turbo, Kim Jong Kook has spent enough time in the field to have made both friends and enemies.
Below we have compiled what the people in the industry had to say about the man.
Cha Taehyun
“You’ve never seen Jong Kook cry right? I’ve seen it a lot, he’s a giant baby.”
“Kim Jongkook knows about all the bad things haters say about him but he tries his best not to think about it.”
“He has a strong desire and amazing spirit, he works hard.”
“Kim Jongkook is really hard working. I talked to him one time about the role he has in Running Man. I thought it’d be burdensome to take on the role of the tough, manly character. He told me that he needs to take responsibility for his own choices. He chose to be a part of Running Man, so he’ll work hard to be the character he’s supposed to be for the show.”
Hong Kyung Min
“Jong Kook in reality is worse when he’s in love than the figure in his song ‘One Man’, he doesn’t fall in love easily but once he does he gives that woman his all. He’s almost stupid the way he gives it his everything. As a friend he’s such reassuring company no matter where you go.”(When asked, “Is there a guy you know that you think is amazing?”)
“I would have to say Kim Jong Kook, he is so good at self-discipline and he is able to do whatever he sets his mind to. I truly believe that if he felt that the singer life was not for him and he chose to become a professional soccer player, he would make it to the premier league.”
One Two
“When we were nobodies, and he was on stage with us, he kneeled towards the crowd and said ‘Please support and watch these guys, they’re super hard working and talented,’ although he said it with humor we couldn’t believe he would do such a thing for junior nobodies like us.”
“You can’t describe Kim Jong Kook as a person without the word loyalty.”
“He’s too kind. Although he teases me a lot on camera, as soon as the camera goes off, he comes running towards me, to apologize.”
Steven Yoo
*Steven Yoo is despised in Korea for avoiding his military service and has been banned from entering the country*
“After Kim Jong Kook was career was almost ruined by his former CEO from the Turbo days, he had won 1st place for the first time with “One Man”. It was an amazing moment for him but he ignored everything to get on a plane to Steven Yoo’s wedding. The media began and the public began turning against him and everyone around him pleaded with him not to go. All the other celebrities chose not to go in order to avoid the public’s anger, Steven Yoo’s friends who were celebrities gave Kim Jong Kook Steven Yoo’s wedding gift in the form of cash. Kim Jong Kook carried all of that and took on all the criticism alone and flew to Steven Yoo’s wedding. Yoo Jae Suk alone complimented him saying “This is Kim Jong Kook”, after coming back he said one thing to netizens and media attacking him. “Is there something wrong with me going to my friend’s wedding?”.”
Gary
“During the first recording of Running Man, I was very nervous. However, Kim Jongkook patted me on the back and gave me confidence.”
Yunho
“When I was on X-Man for the first time, I was so nervous. I sat by myself in a corner, wondering what to do. Jongkook however, came up to me and told me that if I worked hard, it’d all pay off. You don’t know how much strength he gave me.”
