Congratulations to Admiralty For Winning the 2020 SBS Performing Arts Awards!
In 2005, Kim Jong-kook won the Three Major Korean TV Ballad Awards at the same time, which is also the second singer in South Korea to receive this award after Cho Yong-bi.
Later, because the three major TELEVISION stations successively stopped holding song awards, this also made Kim Jong-kook the last "triple crown" in South Korea. It is precisely because of this that the young Kim Jong-kook has long become a legend in the Korean music industry.
In fact, Kim Jong-kook just started to appear in variety shows, the purpose is to promote his own songs. At that time, Kim Jong-kook was still very disgusted with variety shows, and he was reluctant to do a lot of content. Fortunately, at that time, the host Liu Zaishi has always taken good care of him, plus the good brother Haha has been helping him, which makes him come out of the variety show. Friends who first watched "X-MAN" and "Birth of a Family" should know this!
However, later, with more and more variety shows, Admiralty Was also successful. Especially in "Running Man", after Kim Jong-kook obtained a "capable person" status that he personally liked, he was like a changed person, and his performance in variety shows became more and more active.
And his performance in "My Bear Child" allows everyone to see the daily side of Kim Jong-kook, who has always shown himself as a "capable person" and a "golden axe", and is also a door-slamming and stingy guy. Frugality in life and filial piety to his parents made more and more people like him.
Unfortunately, after 17 years of acting in variety shows, Kim Jong-kook has not been able to win the Acting Award. Although he said that he didn't mind and didn't want to, he probably had been thinking about it for a long time!
2020 is an extraordinary year, 2020 SBS is just 30 years, 2020 Admiralty Won the SBS Performing Arts Award, 2020 Admiralty Kingdom won a heavy trophy for his life!
When he took the stage to receive the award, Jin Zhongguo had tears in his eyes, and he forced himself to hold back the tears from falling. Later, Kim Jong-kook said that the reason he wanted to cry was because he saw the members of "Running Man", because the trophy has a lot of credit for them!
On the stage, The calmed Down Kim Jong-kook thanked many people, including the staff of the two program groups of "Running Man" and "My Bear Child", as well as some guests and their parents and relatives.
Although Kim Jong-kook has gained a lot in his career, it is a pity that in life, Kim Jong-kook is still single. How nice it would be if he could share this joy with his lover and children at this time of receiving the grand prize!
Now The Golden Bell State has already taken all the big prizes that can and should be taken, and the remaining lifetime achievement awards are still early. Therefore, I hope that this "bear child" can find a good daughter-in-law as soon as possible, get married and have children as soon as possible, and it is also a wish to meet the mother's wishes!
"Running Man" King Jong-kook ability
Kim Jong-kook is not only a powerful singer, but also an excellent host, he is RunningMan's fixed MC, known as the ability, in the tearing brand link can be said to be a terrifying presence, so that other MCs are trembling. And the horror of Kim Jong-kook is not only his strength, his logical reasoning ability and intuition are also terrifying anomalies.
In 2001, Kim Jong-kook participated in the variety show "Living Together", "Let's Go, Dream Team" as an ace member, and in 2004 became a regular guest of the popular variety show "X-Man", when under the leadership of the national MC Liu Jae-seok and Kang Ho-tong, many famous scenes were created, such as the "Heroic CP" love line with Yin Enhui, which is still a hot search keyword, and has also enhanced the popularity of many variety shows. It is worth mentioning that Kim Jong-kook's personality of laughing and talking a lot is actually cultivated after enlistment, as a public welfare soldier, he needs to deliver to the elderly, gradually change the personality of Mu Ne, gradually become cheerful through companionship and communication, and change from pure grandfathers to warm men!
In "Running Man", Kim Jong-kook is known as the Capable One with his agile skills, developed muscles, strong reasoning ability, sensitive chasing skills, and strong escape ability.
Admiralty can be said to be a symbol of muscle and strength, but The observation of Admiralty is also very strong
Loyal fans who have seen RM know that Admiralty Is known as the "Tiger" in it, no matter which team, as long as it has Admiralty, it can do anything.
The Golden Bell Kingdom is the symbol of victory, if winning in the stone is the brain, then the Golden Bell Country win is his strength.
Everyone knows that the Admiralty State is very agile and can quickly see through everything, so it is called the Golden Bell Country Ability.
As a fitness demon, Kim Jong-kook spends almost all his time in the gym during working hours, and even serves as a personal trainer for Song Joong-ki and Park Baojian to train in devil fitness. Once in "My Family's Bear Child" to share the way to slimming: "more supplements with high-protein foods, plus a cup of black coffee before exercise to burn fat, can take the stairs do not take the elevator", and even open "nutritious juice" menu, the material has 400 grams of chicken breast, green grapes, almonds, kale, oranges, bananas, etc., a full 2 meters of elevated satiety juice, and sure enough, behind the lean figure to pay the corresponding effort, too powerful!
The show "My Bear Child" made me know a different Kind of Admiralty!
Because Kim Jong-kook participated in my family's bear child and then went to see it. It's a laugh to me. Whether it is in the 49s or 50s, single or married, still maintain the nature of a bear, and do things that look childish and torturous, but this is a very interesting thing in itself. I hope that even if I am old, I can be so childish and do something that seems childish but is worth doing.
In "RM", he is the tiger Jin Zhongguo that everyone is afraid of, not only the guests on the show want to defeat him one by one, but even the members are doing everything possible, unscrupulous, and tempting at the "edge of death" all the time. Nagging up and fighting with Liu Dashen, he was often confused by the female guests.
After watching "My Bear Child", I found that the "RM" members' complaints about him were not exaggerated at all. At the age of 43, he still lives with his parents, and no matter how early he starts recording the program, he has to eat breakfast made by his mother and go to work. Now with the help of the program to force themselves to start independent, but the ability to take care of themselves is not a little poor. His mother prepared a refrigerator of dishes for him to eat, but because he was not experienced in microwave oven operation, he was not skilled in kelp soup with ice.
In order to buy bed sheets and daily necessities, I went to the store, and sure enough, the shopping conditions of "Stingy Country" were: "discounted goods", "many giveaways", and "limited date super specials". When buying shampoo, it is cheap, which also makes the agent say, "Don't you have to look at the features?"
Perfectly inheriting the advantages of his father's frugality, Jin Zhongguo has only one principle for living a life: cheap, the title of "petty country" cannot be shaken off, and the "golden axe" that was popular in the beginning cannot be done. But in "RM", the big single guests are you, big brother?
His daily entertainment life is not only fitness or fitness, it is easy to find him either on the way to the gym or at the gym. Watching his fitness process sincerely sighed that it was not something that ordinary people could bear. Although he is completely white in this regard, he is not aware of it. Although he himself knows that it is not good to over-consume himself, this thing addiction cannot be stopped, it is difficult to buy the feeling that I am willing, and such a self-disciplined person should be so good.
Knowing the daily life of the fitness maniac, how long do you think he is from taking off the list? In fact, in addition to the marriage, Kim Jong-kook is almost perfect, life self-discipline has its own career, treats feelings exclusively to friends, is kind and assertive, and has some small humor. I sincerely hope that he can meet the girl who understands himself as soon as possible and free him from the long road of lonely fitness.
He also despaired of his marriage on the personal show of chi shizhen, the good big brother in his Running Man, but a principled person would treat his life like this, he was self-disciplined, he was righteous, and his intimate advantages would definitely make him an excellent person, and he would definitely meet someone who understood him.
Looking forward to ^ω^ "My Bear Child" Kim Jong-kook to see more different him, "RuningMan" continues to cheer ⊙ ▽ ⊙
