Kim Jong Kook celebrates his 15th year as a celebrity

Kim Jong Kook has reached his 15th year anniversary since his debut in the vibrant duo, Turbo. In order to celebrate this milestone for the muscled MC of SBS "Running Man", his fan club bought lunch for the hundred plus staff and the entertainers at the Running Man set. Just days ago, he had ruptured his back disk, but fought through the pain and filmed the action packed variety show. The PD stated "Because I didn't want Kim Jong Kook to be seriously hurt, I ask him to consider taking a break but he was adamant on filming, making me feel half thankful and half worried. To minimize the action and running involved in Running Man, the filming for the day was scripted". Kim Jong Gook also showed equal appreciation for the staff and fellow members of the show.
