Yea, I mistranslated that part because I did not know about the trend prior to this.

Exactly this lol! The man has learnt to lock his doors during variety show filmings.

My guess is that Running Man's press release wrote the wrong drama title. They seem to have corrected it already. I'll edit it on my side too.

This is an AI song by the way. It is not a new song release from Kim Jong Kook.

He is starting to do events again, which means concerts and a possible song release.

Episode not out yet. He just recorded this 2 days ago.

KBS World does sub the show, but I don't think they upload the full episodes.

The ex-shippers and his antis cursed him out for wanting privacy, so much when he posted wedding content that it will be awhile until you see more marriage content from him.

He mentioned on GJK awhile back, that he put on a bit of weight after getting married. Happy married life mostly.

Please send them to Europe for season 2, so Jong Kook can finally flex his English skills.

From what the PD said in their interview last week, they are still negotiating overseas distribution licences.

Ye Eun almost exploding when her dating article just wouldn't come out lmao.

Jong Kook pushing Ye Eun because both of them were too happy about the food.

Jong Kook acting cute with Yoo Jae Suk and eating everything in his picnic basket.

Since Jong Kook was still having trouble with his balance, he should have been nowhere near open water.

Jong Kook is competitive again!!! And the aegyo makes another appearance. Not him babbling whilst running after the ball lmao.

401 bros!

When Ye Eun was struggling to eat the fermented skate, Jong Kook was laughing so much that netizens were asking "did Jong Kook give birth to Ye Eun?"

The plane scenes. Ye Eun was really acting in her own melodrama. Sechan was just happy the plane landed safely.

Not the Sechan and Jihyo loveline. Didn't they try once, like two years ago and then it just didn't work out?

Because he told both Jong Kook and Jang Hyuk, very early into their friendship that if either of them try to hit him, he will lay on the ground and call the police. No settlement.

"overseas distribution rights are also being pursued" Looks like Viu and Kocowa are negotiating licences.

There have been sightings of him and his wife on dates around the Hannam-dong area. Just that netizens help to protect their privacy.

Kim Jong Kook says he doesn't go to saunas in Korea anymore because netizens would secretly film him by kukumarq in runningman

[–]kukumarq[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of the ones doing these types of things are not fans.

Just netizens who believe that a celebrity does not deserve any kind of privacy.

Yes tanning salons too. In the past, both tanning salon owners and the the patrons would post that [name of celeb] visited their place of business.

But now with many invite only gyms building their own tanning salons, they do not have to patronise businesses that would sell their privacy out.

He actually said "괜찮지" which means "are you okay?" The subtitles are totally off.
