On the episode aired on January 21st of ‘Running Man,’ Kim Jong-kook‘s global popularity was highlighted.
The production team conveyed the news through social media that Kim Jong-kook’s hit song ‘Lovable’ released in 2005 had made a comeback as a challenge. The challenge created a sensation even in Japan and Thailand.
