Kim Jong Kook Holds Successful First Solo Concert “Run, Kim Jong Kook†in China

kimjongkook_main-e1355247949516.jpg

Kim Jong Kook held his first solo concert “Run, Kim Jong Kook†in Harbin, China on December 27.

Through his activities on variety shows, most notably SBS’ “Running Man,†Kim Jong Kook has exploded in popularity with Chinese fans. Indeed, his first solo concert was sold out as soon as ticket sales opened.

For the many fans who were unable to get a ticket, Kim Jong Kook made sure they could still tune in to a live broadcast via a mobile messaging platform.

Heo Geon, CEO of Kim Jong Kook’s management agency Urban Works ENT, commented, “Thank you for giving [Kim Jong Kook] a lot of love as he goes back and forth between Korea and China to participate in a variety of activities, including those related to music and entertainment. Through this concert, Kim Jong Kook hopes to communicate his thankful heart to local fans, and going forward, we will create more opportunities for him to engage with you.â€

The next stop of “Run, Kim Jong Kook†will be Beijing on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2015.

[Article] 凤凰黑龙江——专访“ä¸ä¸€æ ·çš„金钟国†(凤凰黑龙江-----Interview: "A Different Kim Jong Kook )

[Translation]

Before the performance of Kim Jong Kook's concert in Harbin University on 27th December starts, the time left to the performance is about 1 and a half hours. After waiting anxiously, Kim Jong Kook appeared in front of everyone with his own unique vibe wearing black and white colored clothes. In an instant, a charm that a man should have come from him.

He sat quietly at our side, adjusting his tie, and carefully looking out for every detail. We used Kim Jong Kook's country language to greet with him, and he happily responded.

 

Q: Why did you choose Harbin to hold a concert?
Kim Jong Kook: I have always thought that Harbin is a very far-away city, and I have heard a lot from Harbin since I was young, so I always wanted to come here and just at the right time I have the opportunity to come here at Harbin.

Q: Any plans to progress here in China in 2015?
Kim Jong Kook: As next year will be my 20th debut anniversary, I have prepared many events in Korea so I do not know if I have any chance to come to China. But I have to plan many things for China, what have yet to come have not been decided yet. I hope I can find some time to prepare more events in China.

Q: Most favourite cast member in China's Running Man?
Kim Jong Kook: The people in Run, Brothers are very passionate, and they treat me very well, and we often interact so it feels like we are close. Therefore if you want me to choose, it's difficult to choose, but if you really want me to choose; because there is only one flower among them, I think Angelababy is cute.

Q: What is your ideal girl type?
Kim Jong Kook: My ideal type is not those girls who are very skinny, but rather more to the chubby side. I like girls who are healthy and knows how to respect the elderly. But to put things first, what I meant by I like girls who are healthy does not mean someone like me who have a lot of muscles.

Q: Which China actors do you like?
Kim Jong Kook: I think I have came across a lot, I like actors of the older generation because I used to watch a lot of movies when I was young so I prefer that time's Joey Wong, Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Wu Chien Lien etc, and recently Tang Wei who just got married to a South Korean Director; I think her(Tang Wei) acting skills are especially great, recently got to like her more.

“Running Man†Makes a Lot of Money Abroad Despite Weak Domestic Performances
running-man.jpg

Variety program “Running Man†has become the best cash cow for SBS as the show has met with great success in China.

The Chinese version of “Running Man,†“Hurry Up, Brother,†premiered in October of 2014 with a rating of 1.149%, an amazing feat for a television program in mainland China. The remake continues to be popular, as a theatrical version of the show is in production.

A broadcast insider told media outlet Sports DongA, “‘Running Man’ is truly the best thing to happen to SBS. It made up for all of SBS’ alone.â€

They further added, “The exact contract terms are not known, but the word on the street is that they have signed up for at least three seasons of the remake in China. The movie version is also coming out soon. They probably made at least 30 billion won (approximately $27 million USD) so far.â€

They also commented, “The particular reason why ‘Running Man’ is SBS’ best program is because SBS didn’t invest any money into its Chinese adaptation. SBS just sent over two producers to China to help produce the show. Yet they’re making such a profit.â€

Domestically, “Running Man†has seen a weaker year in 2014, often falling last place in ratings in its time slot. Currently it is in second place after “1 Night 2 Days Season 3.â€

Well, 2014 is definitely one of RM's worst year in terms ratings, in late 2011-2012 they easily hit 20 % :rlytearpls:
if only the pd be more creative + SBS's director not being stupid consecutively putting 2 bad programs to lead RM in Good Sunday ( RoomMate + Barefoot)

Kim Jong Kook Reveals He Supported His Brother Financially for Medical School

%EA%B9%80%EC%A2%85%EA%B5%AD.jpg
 

As one of the MCs, Kim Jong Kook invites Kim Jong Myung, his brother, as a guest for the upcoming episode of JTBC’s “Everybody.†The episode talks about how one can look younger, and Kim Jong Myung, who is a plastic surgeon, contributes his knowledge to the show.

 

While introducing his brother to the other MCs, Kim Jong Kook pokes fun at Kim Jong Myung by saying, â€He’s not used to talking on TV shows so he will just share his professional knowledge and not say much about anything else,†and makes his brother blush.

 

He also adds, “When my brother was going to medical school, I supported him financially for seven years. Medical degree costs a lot of money,†impressing the other MCs. Although he is playful with his brother throughout the show, viewers will see an affectionate side of him as he interacts with his brother.

 

During the show, Kim Jong Kook and Kim Jong Myung reveal the contrasting school life they had in their childhood, as Kim Jong Kook was to become a singer and Kim Jong Myung a doctor. Check out the episode of “Everybody†on January 8 at 9:40 p.m. KST.

I understand why people dislike LSJ, but I think combining him with Jaesuk Is Gold.. They are funny, well, actually Jaesuk constant teasing make it fun :lol:

Anyone notice how comfortable KJK and Moon Chae Won was ?
wonder if they know each other before, because it's really refreshing seeing JK not acting awkward to girl guest lol

 

Overall 7.5/10 episode for me

They did seem like they were comfortible with each other. Awkward like with Moon Geun Young? :happy: Those 2 episodes with her are my favorite episodes.

Yeah, even KJK call her 'Chae-Won' not 'Chae-Won ssi' , it's pretty rare for JK to call girls guest directly like that (beside his singer juniors)

I think it's probably becauses Chae Woon seems really approchable / easy going girl and she has cute aegyo,lol

 

Well, it can't be helped with MGY, the teasing duo Jaesuk-Haha is on roll, constant teasing from the start , makes everything awkward, lmao

(Pann talks about how Jihyo and Ji Sukjin are poorly treated on the show)

=


1. [+423, -10] Female guests avoid Ji Sukjin when they do a couple race. Poor him... I also feel bad for Jihyo unnie because she fills a spot which the guests avoid. They should take care of them

2. [+326, -12] Yeah Song Jihyo gets edited out a lot and they have too many female guests, so she gets outcasted...

3. [+282, -11] I really agree. Their screen time is getting lesser ã… ã…  They're not even shown unless they do a significant act... She got an award at entertainment awards two years ago. I feel bad because she's not treated well ã… ã… 

4. [+126, -2] Song Jihyo always lets them win... She voluntarily loses the games. In the Bad Women episode, she brought Ji Sukjin first...

5. [+120, -2] I like Running Man but I want them to stop with the guest specials. I like thrilling episodes, like Choi Min Soo episode in the beginning ã…‹ã…‹ The scale is getting bigger and the celebrities are coming on the show to promote their movies and dramas. It's honestly... ^^ Some female celebrities are busy taking care of their image so they act cutesy and careful. It's uncomfortable to watch them. Besides that, I want them to increase Jihyo unnie's screen time... Her visual is also jjang and she's a goddess but she's poorly treated because they have to take care of the female celebrities promoting their projects. I want them to do a fewer guest specials and make episodes with the permanent members only. When they have guests, the show centers around the guests, not the members... The captions are also about the guests and they're cringe-worthy

6. [+107, -66] I like Song Jihyo because she's pretty and cool. But objectively, she's not a funny person... Song Jihyo's screen time is mostly when she succeeds the missions by herself or when she's with Gary as Monday Couple... Gary still has a lot of screen time without Monday Couple because he's good with variety shows, but Jihyo will have much less screen time if they don't do Monday Couple. Jihyo doesn't know how to joke back to the members. It's either getting mad or laughing at them. And it's not even funny sometimes so I get embarrassed... Other members have their own characters and positions but Jihyo is nothing without Monday Couple. I want her to develop her own character

7. [+106, -1] Yes ã… ã…  Bell race and Yoomes Bond were so funny but now, guests come every week and it's boring ã… ã…  They only promote their dramas and films and do stupid games ã… ã…  I want them to go back to the old episodes

8. [+97, -1] Am I the only one who finds Ji Sukjin so funny? ã…‹ã…‹ He makes me laugh a lot, I guess other people don't find him funny

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Truth tbh, she hasn't really develop her variety skills, she is similar to KJK during X-man day, relying on Loveline + waiting for people to give her joke bait  ..

While for JSJ, i think it's his role in the show, weakly elder, similar to Yoon Jong Shin in FO, and I think he did his role well, even with some joke + body gag..

 

what do you guys think?

Average episode for me..
But seriously, when Jaesuk + Kwangsoo falling on Gary's last mission, that's so funny , haha

 

=======================================

 

And it's amazing how majority opinion here  differs from kshowonline and soompi, haha
people there mostly postive on this episode.

btw, I don't think Running Man will get canceled, as long as they still got 10%-ish, 10% is still decent ratings, and SBS has sold the broadcasting right to around 11 Asia countries, so I think they still make a lot money atm..

^ Agree. I don't think it will be canceled at the moment. But I hope the PD will work harder and gets more interesting episode and games.. 

 

Yeah, I think in last 5-10 episodes after Jo PD left, they are slowly progressing to better side,

in last 5-10 episodes,  I haven't completely skipped parts ..

Usually I skipped if it drags too long , haha
