It seems a few casual statements by the Turbo singer has brought unwanted attention to Yoon Eun Hye. Kim Jong Kook's agency stated on February 11, "He's very apologetic for unintentionally burdening her. Kim Jong Kook just brought it up thinking of the past, but he too is caught offguard by how big it blew up. He's not the type of person to make others uncomfortable. He's in America at the moment, but we heard that he personally apologized with a phone call."

Ever since Kim Jong Kook was asked whether he would pull off Yoon Eun Hye's nametag on 'Running Man', there's been a stream of headlines and media attention focused on getting the former 'X-Man' pair on the popular variety show. The 'Running Man' show also started a Twitter movement and the PD himself asked the actress to appear.  

What do you think of the reported apology? Do you think it was unnecessary to drag out the past or do you want to see Yoon Eun Hye and Kim Jong Kook on 'Running Man' together?
