Kim Jong Kook’s ‘Manner Hand’ highlighted once again

Singer Kim Jong Kook‘s continued showing of good manners on ‘Running Man’ has him earning lots of praise from the netizens.

Kim Jong Kook participated in the ‘Princess Race’ on the July 16th episode of SBS ‘Running Man’. In one of the missions he had to give Song Ji Hyo a piggyback ride to run across a balance beam floating on a pool. In a mission prior to the pool mission, he also had to give Song Ji Hyo a piggyback ride from restaurant to restaurant until they completed their missions.

It was a hot day and he had Song Ji Hyo on his back for a long period of time, but he continued to display good manners by always keeping the ‘Manner Hand’, not allowing his hand to touch to what otherwise could be a sensitive part of a woman’s body.

This isn’t the first time Kim Jong Kook had shown good manners however. In episode 94, Kim Jong Kook was paired up with 4Minute member Hyuna and on that episode he had to give Hyuna a piggyback ride for a long stretch of time but he continued to make sure to keep his manner hand and the netizens had given praise to him at the time as well.

In previous episodes, Kim Jong Kook was also seen using “manner hands” with KARA‘s Goo Hara and T-ara‘s Jiyeon.

Is Sparta Kim Jong Kook scared of walking on a balance beam?

Kim Jong Kook, who’s nicknamed ‘Sparta Kook’, has revealed his fear of balance beams!

The July 15th episode of SBS‘s ‘Running Man‘ consisted of guests Shin Se Kyung, Noh Sa Yeon, and Yoo Joon Sang for a ‘Beauty and the Beast’ themed ‘Princess Race’ special.

The ‘Running Man’ cast members were each split up into three teams and were given numerous missions to fulfill at various locations. For the second required mission, team Kim Jong Kook and Ji Suk Jin had to walk across the floating balance beam which was laid across a pool while giving fellow teammate Song Ji Hyo a piggyback ride.

Confident that he’d be able to easily cross the balance beam, Kim Jong Kook was met with the unexpected as he began to stagger immediately upon setting foot onto the path. Eventually Kim Jong Kook got on his knees and he looked as puzzled as all the ‘Running Man’ members. Kim Jong Kook simply said, “I can’t go”, with a dumbfounded look on is face.

His fellow cast members were stunned by the frightened Kim Jong Kook, an image they’ve never see before, and remarked, “Is this really Kim Jong Kook?” Even the production team were surprised by Kim Jong Kook’s reaction as they left a caption for viewers that read, “Even Sparta Kim Jong Kook, the one who reigned over the ‘Running Man’ members, kneeled before the balance beam.”

Netizens take notice of Kim Soo Hyun’s impeccable manners

Actor Kim Soo Hyun is being noticed for his manners on SBS‘s ‘Running Man‘.

On the latest episode that aired on July 8th, Kim Soo Hyun was given the mission to secretly eliminate the ‘Running Man’ cast members. But while undergoing the mission, the actor ran into senior actor Son Hyun Joo, who’s currently starring in SBS’s popular Monday-Tuesday drama, ‘The Chaser‘.

Upon seeing his sunbae, Kim Soo Hyun immediately greeted him with a perfect 90-degree bow and introduced himself saying, “Hello. I’m Kim Soo Hyun.”

2NE1 will not be guesting on ‘Running Man’

Previously, 2NE1 was revealed to be in discussion for making a guest appearance on SBS‘s popular variety show, ‘Running Man‘. Unfortunately for fans, YG Entertainment has ultimately decided to leave the girls out.

Due to the start of their world tour, scheduling variety appearances would have been near impossible for the girls anyway, but fans couldn’t help but keep their hopes up. Representatives explained, “The members of 2NE1 are honestly very shy and lack the skills to be on variety shows. We’re actually worried and apologetic about the girls bringing down the show.”

Although it’s custom for idols to go on variety shows to promote their comeback albums, 2NE1 decided not to do so. Representatives expressed, “2NE1 has to focus on their ‘I Love You‘ single as well as their world tour so they don’t even have time to take a breath at the moment. And unlike their passionate, energetic image on stage, the girls are actually introverts with calm personalities so they’re not fit for variety shows.”

In a recent interview, Dara had mentioned, “Unlike how people see us on TV, we’re introverts that don’t talk much. It takes a lot of effort out of us to go on talk shows.” Bom agreed, adding, “Talk shows are pressuring for us, but I do think a variety show that doesn’t require scripts could be fun.”
