141217 Night Of TV Entertainment(한밤의 TV연예) - Kim Jong Kook cut [Translation] Chinese speaker: Running Man member Kim Jong Kook holds fan-sign events. Korean speaker: In China, theres another star whose popularity is rising, which is Kim Jong Kook. KIM JONG KOOK: Piao-liang~ (which means beautiful in Chinese) Even though I wear sunglasses and with a mask, the people in China knows its me. In the airport in China, there is a place that is like a lounge and it feels like a fan-sign event where supporters gather. Nowadays, Im doing what I was doing incredibly when I was young, it feels like in China and in other countries Im doing a lot of those. What is Kim Jong Kooks secret to popularity?: Korean speaker: Thats right, the reason is because of Running Man. In Korea, Running Mans popularity can be felt in China. In the process, with the productions conditions, there is a same production of Running Man in China too. (10th October, in Run Brothers, Kim Jong Kook appeared as special guest in their first episode) Run, run and run again; they are doing races with tension. In China, their TV ratings are going up from their first episode; among the list of this years new programmes, Chinas Running Man is first with a TV rating of over 2%. Hallyu Contents Specialist: There are more than 300 local broadcasting channels in China. In China, if there is a TV rating more than 2%, in Korea standards, it means the TV rating is over 30%. The other evidence of having such popularity is that while Run Brothers is similar to Running Man, it feels like Season 2 of it is secured. The advertisement revenue is also taken care of, which in Korean won is about 30 billion won. Korean speaker: Run Brothers advertising has completed, which cost about 300 billion won. To them who have been together for a long time, they gather to watch Run Brothers. Chinese Family member 1: Weve came to watch Run Brothers. Korean speaker: For Run Brothers, they even made promises to meet. Chinese Family member 1: We usually meet every Friday to watch, we have never missed a time. Chinese Family member 2: I think the part where they meet and fight is the most interesting.The part where they fight in an instant is bad too. Korean speaker: In other houses, they also watch Run Brothers. The front house, the house beside and even cafes, people can be seen to watch Run Brothers. Actually in China, there is already a fake Running Man show (back in 2011), but there is no popularity. What actually makes the official Run Brothers have such a reversed result? Cho Hyo Jin PD: For 5 episodes of Run Brothers, I went to China and to the general stuff, produced a Chinas version of Running Man and did the same work. There were know-hows, so with this type of concept, I gave the Chinas staffs to learn. Korean speaker: There are many similarities between Korea and Chinas Running Man in terms of format and characters. Yoo Jae Suks role in China is played by Chinas top star Dong Chao. Muscleman Kim Jong Kooks role is played by a skillful actor Li Chen. They seem to look alike. There is someone who seemed alike the current HaHa. Ji Suk Jin met a friend who is much like him in China. (Running Man members have similar synchro rate as the Run Brothers members). And also if you remove them in Running Man, isnt it sad? Monday couple who only meets on Monday. Is there a Monday-couple too in China? Korean speaker: To seem like an official boyfriend to Angelababy, there are going with a safe-guard concept. With the 7 members characters, the popularity in China is secured. Thank to that, Zhe Jiang Broadcast TV has won 10 awards. Production relation officer: Programs in China are usually indoors, and there are less reality shows. Afraid of heights, and afraid of water. Sometimes they are afraid of a lot of things. When the reality of the stars start to show, I think that is what the China audience like to see. Korean speaker: The past day, I heard the filming of a movie with Running Man concept has started. In the movie, Kim Jong Kook have participated as an actor. KIM JONG KOOK: In China, if a variety show gains popularity, they will make a movie version out of it. During the movie, I heard the offer to participate so I went to film. I appeared as a Korean aspiring singer. Korean speaker: Kim Jong Kook who is popular in China, he was asked to appear as a cameo but changed to appear as a main character after that. Question: What If you are asked to learn to be an actor in China? KIM JONG KOOK: Im shy to say this and this might be difficult to believe but there are a lot of movie and drama suggestions coming to me. Question: The reason of you being popular in China? KIM JONG KOOK: Because my name is Kim Jong Kook, the pronunciation of the people in China is similar; Jong Kook and Jung Kook (Jung Kook is China in Korean). Maybe that is the reason?
