Watch: Kim Jong Kook Has To Save A Fitness Center From Closing Down In "Running Man" Preview

Sep 12, 2021

SBS’s “Running Man” previewed an interesting concept for next week’s race that plays perfectly to Kim Jong Kook’s strengths!

The preview begins with Kim Jong Kook working out alone in a fitness center and saying, “This gym is on the verge of closing down. We need to hurry up and work hard and become national representatives.” The other “Running Man” cast members arrive and are shocked to find that they have to undergo some strict training by Kim Jong Kook, starting with him scolding them for being late.

Three new “gym members” (guests) make their appearance in this preview: Lovelyz’s Mijoo, Lee Young Ji, and Lee Sang Joon. Mijoo demonstrates her passion for exercise (and also to show off her figure) as she does squats at Jun So Min’s request, but Kim Jong Kook gives an ambivalent response.

The rest of the preview shows the members trying to decide whether or not to rebel against their hardcore fitness center manager, Kim Jong Kook.

This episode will air on September 19. Check out the preview below!
