Kim Jong Kook took home his first Daesang (Grand Prize) at an Entertainment Awards for his work on “Running Man” and “My Ugly Duckling.” HaHa took home the Top Excellence Award in Show/Variety, and “Running Man” as a show won the Golden Content Award.
In the “Running Man” episode, Ji Suk Jin brought up the Daesang when he told Kim Jong Kook, “Your face has gotten brighter since you won.” The members congratulated him again and tried to toss him into the air, but embarrassed, he blocked them with his superior strength. Ji Suk Jin commented, “Even the six of us can’t toss him in the air?” and Lee Kwang Soo added, “We can’t even congratulate him the way we want.”
