I believe that running Man's fans see this title and can immediately guess who the protagonist today is going to talk about. That's right, it's the Korean ghost horse artist HAHA Ha Dong Hoon.
Domestic audiences mostly know HAHA from the variety show Running Man.
In the early days, he was unique in the RM as a despicable prodigal son, and he also gained the love of the children because of the image of the pororo, and after marriage, the character in the show became a dog leg with a small clever ability, in short, the image of each stage was very successful.
HAHA in RM
In fact, the program that made HAHA stand firm in the Korean variety industry was "Infinite Challenge" earlier than RM, although he hosted several variety shows before this, but it did not make much splash.
Unlimited challenges on HAHA
At the end of 2020, Kim Jong-kook won the Variety Awards of South Korean television station SBS with "Running Man" and "Our Bear Child", and he successfully achieved the double awards of the Song Awards and the Performing Arts Awards as a singer, which is also the second award among the RM members after Liu Jae-seok.

While congratulating the Running Man program on more than ten years of hard work, there will also be such a voice: This time it is not HAHA...
Haha, who is also a singer, has been in the variety circle for more than ten years, why has he not been able to win the big award? I have sorted out the following reasons, and you can rationally discuss whether it is reasonable.
Reason one: It has always been the role of green leaves, invisible under the light of the great gods
The essence of winning the award is to be able to be strong, and the test standard is of course the works with ratings and reputation.

HAHA co-hosted the street talk show "The Way to Talk" with Liu Xilie
HAHA as a fixed MC of the variety show is actually a lot, most of the ratings and word of mouth is flat, the only real can get the hand is "Infinite Challenge" and "Running Man" two programs, are based on Liu Zaishi as the main MC of the program, HAHA plays a role in the green leaf.
Liu Zaishi won the MBC Performing Arts Award last year for "What's Idle"
However, Liu Dashen's aura is too dazzling, he has won many SBS and MBC acting awards through these two shows, in contrast, HAHA and others can only occasionally receive a "consolation award".
The weight of HAHA in the late stage of the Infinite Challenge became heavier and heavier, and after Yoo Jae-seok and Park Myung-so won the big awards one after another, he had a good chance, but the show was unexpectedly suspended due to a strike.
Pickless is a great memory of a generation
RM stumbled over the years, there are also two members have won the big award, but with the replacement of the main PD, the recent Lee Kwang-so off, can clearly feel the program is getting weaker, whether it can support the third award is still unknown.
And with the increasing sense of existence of Uncle Wang's nose, the probability of HAHA winning the big prize with the show is not optimistic.
Reason two: Variety shows are not the whole focus of his work
HAHA's job is actually a singer, he debuted in the form of Zikiri group, and over the years he has been working with singer Skull and others to sing songs, and has also held concerts in Beijing.
HAHA and SKULL
His side hustle was also flourishing. It is widely known as a joint venture with Admiralty Kebayaku, which also operates its own hipster shop.

Recently, he also went along with the trend and started running his own YouTube, uploading a lot of funny daily routines with people around him, which is very interesting.
Such a colorful daily activity also makes his variety show personality attribute slowly weaken, and he is getting farther and farther away from the big award.
Reason three: his own emotional personality makes it difficult for him to develop into a larger stage
As we all know, the keyboard warriors in South Korea are much harsher than ours, and the slightest undesirable behavior of public figures is easy to be sprayed, and it is common for netizens to petition the Blue House.
HAHA itself is a very casual style, and the speech is often not particularly cautious, which can be seen from the frequent explosion of crude mouths on RM, which can be edited into funny material in variety shows, but in reality it will attract scolding.
Take one incident last year, where the news of the suicide of the mother and daughter of female comedian Park Ji-sun shocked the entire Korean entertainment industry.
As Park's best friend, HAHA had an emotional breakdown at the first time he learned the news, and made several remarks on his personal social software in a row, including content with foul language.

Netizens have expressed dissatisfaction with his remarks, believing that public figures should be cautious in their statements in public, such statements seem to be very "unproblem", of course, there are netizens who understand him.
After he realized his mistake, deleted the indecent remarks and issued an apology, the incident gradually subsided.
After that, he issued an apology for his remarks
"I didn't control my emotions well and used inappropriate expressions, sorry. I will do my best to do my duty, and I hope that everyone can cheer up and take good care of the body during this difficult period. ”
However, such a performance in the hearts of South Korean netizens is obviously not worthy of the character of the big prize.
In fact, HAHA's life today is happy and happy, and unlike the characters on the variety show, he is a good man who loves his wife and children very much.
The two who married in 2012 have 3 lovely children in succession, and both children and daughters can be called winners in life.
Thinking like this, it is not very important to take a big reward or not
