1. 'Running Man' member Kim Jong Kook
So you just read how Lee Kwang Soo is hotter than you think… Welcome to the second of our ILY 'Running Man' series, where you'll be reminded on why fellow 'Running Man' member, Kim Jong Kook, is like a hard-boiled egg: hard on the outside yet soft (and cute) on the inside.
2. This. Is. Sparta!
Kim Jong Kook is refereed to as the "Commander" and "Spartan" in 'Running Man'. As you can see, they usually draw fire around him.
3. Also known as a 'Tiger'
Because everyone usually fears his competitive and tough nature.
4. Every time he appears, this is played.
5. He's actually a total cutie
But there's more to mister Kim Jong Kook than we think. Despite his nicknames and his built (all that muscle), he has a very soft interior. For those who watch the show religiously, you probably already know that Kim Jong Kook can be very very cute.
6. He gets shy
He gets rather shy around female guests.

On SBS's talk show 'Healing Camp', Gary shared how Kim Jong Kook is in fact shy in front of girls and is the type of man to want a confession first. He said, "I tried to hook him up at a private gathering, but he was just sitting like a rock."
7. Smitten by Moon Geun Young
Who can NOT like South Korea's forever little sister, Moon Geun Young? Watch Kim Jong Kook melt from just a single word from her.
8. He love his mom
Kim Jong Kook's mom once shared in an interview that her son is a total daughter when home and she often gets bored without him. She said he brings her around places whenever he can. Now that is very adorable.
9. His wink
Very capable of a wink.
10. This expression
Cutie patootie
11. Looks like this in a headwrap
I swear he knows himself that he can be quite cute #eyesmile
12. His Agyeo
It comes out time to time, and that's why he's also the owner of the nickname, "Kookie".
13. He attempted the 'Gwiyomi' song
14. Just watch this video
Go to 0:44 hehe
15. He loves his dongsaengs
16. Best hyung award goes to him
17. His relationship with HaHa
#bromance, but cuter
18. He's the cutest when it comes to dancing
19. Watch him dance with SISTAR
Too good.
20. Turbo 'Lovable'
and OF COURSE, he was the cutest when singing and dancing to hit song, 'Lovable'.
21. Commander Kookie
Kim Jong Kook is a "Commander" and "Tiger" for great reasons, but underneath all that (muscle) he's a total cute "Kookie" with a soft heart and that's why we love him!
