Running ManKim Jong Kook has shared news about purchasing his own home.

On the May 25th broadcast of SBS's 'Running Man', the 'Quick-Witted Running Family' race took place.

During the show, Ji Suk-jin congratulated Kim Jong Kook on his home purchase. Yoo Jae-suk joked, "Did he save up envelopes to buy his house?" and HaHa added, "What, like a greenhouse or something?"

Hearing this, Kim Jong Kook laughed and said, "That's what everyone says. They joke that I saved up envelopes and finally bought a house."

Yoo Jae-suk continued the jest, "People are saying, isn't it time for an official room for those bags?" and "He asked for a bigger room just for his envelopes."

Kim Jong Kook then revealed, "After that, I cured my habit. Now, when I get an envelope, I go to the balcony and just throw it away, saying 'Enough!'. You can really get over it. Completely over it," causing everyone to burst into laughter.
