Kim Jong Kook, who is familiar with Running Man fans with the image of "Capable person", "Strong man", 6-pack body, muscular muscles, is the one who possesses the most formidable strength among the members. However, few people know about Kim Jong Kook's sad past when he was brutally beaten by his manager when he was a member of the group Turbo.

In the 90s, the group Turbo debuted with the duo Kim Jong Kook and Kim Jung Nam . The two immediately became famous with the hit Black Cat. In 1997, Kim Jung Nam left the group, Mikey was chosen to replace the rapper position and Turbo continued to work until 2000 when they disbanded. At the peak of his career, Turbo had to endure heavy pressure from the management company. Not only were the members forced to work so hard that they were hospitalized, and the company took the huge amount of money the group earned, the members were also brutally assaulted by the manager. Kim Jong Kook once shared on a radio program that this is also the reason why he started boxing and then the gym to protect himself. An article also said that "competent people" at that time were tied up and beaten in the basement as a deterrent.

After releasing the 5th album, Kim Jong Kook left the management company due to the end of his contract and started a solo career in 2001. Mikey at that time also expired his visa and returned to New York City. Turbo disbanded in the regret of many fans. Up to now, Kim Jong Kook is still working hard at the gym and has a desirable 6-pack body. The male singer is so addicted to the gym that his colleagues even teased that this is the reason why he did not have time to date and get married despite being 45 years old.

However, the game part is more diverse, including folk games and games that have appeared in the program. From the very beginning, the program recreated the correct sequence of players coming to the "life and death arena". The game of Smashing Scales is challenged with each member. In the Running Man version, there is no longer a squid game, but it will be called "Octopus game". The crew is still confused about this name because octopus is cheaper than squid. Being very interested and excited about the set, the members split the roles immediately and always: "Idiot" Ji Hyo volunteered to be accepted as the personality girl Kang Sae Byeok, but the members disagreed and said she should accepts the role of delinquent Jang Deok Soo (Heo Sung Tae). Because the studio is invested heavily, each piece of music and the voice of the mysterious person who assigned the task all simulated the exact same movie. Jong Kook excitedly pulled out his phone to take some selfies, seeing that, Ji Hyo quickly ran back to save the memories. This lovely moment made the shipper association "crazy" again, pushing the boat very hard. Of course, this moment cannot be overlooked by the two saints, Se Chan and Jae Suk. Both accused the Spartan couple that they were making a lovestagram that was too revealing, making Jong Kook and Ji Hyo stiff.
