[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Actor Jo Byeong-gyu appears on SBS's 'Running Man' and reveals the intensity of Kim Jong-kook's soccer group's training.


During a recent recording of 'Running Man,' Jo Byeong-gyu introduced himself by saying, "I played soccer until the third year of middle school." He explained that due to his soccer background, he caught the attention of Kim Jong-kook, who is known as a 'soccer fanatic in the entertainment industry.'


Yoo Jae-suk also said, "Kim Jong-kook is trying to cast (for the soccer team) now," to which Jo Byeong-gyu responded, "I heard that if you join Kim Jong-kook's soccer team (Tiger FC), you will die," making the cast laugh.


He added, "I also heard that the training is so tough that some vomit during breaks," exposing rumors about Kim Jong-kook's training intensity.


In response to Jo Byeong-gyu's continued revelations, Kim Jong-kook replied, "If you are going to say that much to the players (in the group), I tell them to go to a cafe," which brought laughter.


Along with Jo Byeong-gyu, 'chameleon actor' Lim Soo-hyang also participated in the recording and enjoyed an impromptu MT with the 'Running Man' members.



You can check out Jo Byeong-gyu and Lim Soo-hyang's variety skills on SBS's Running Man tomorrow (the 15th) at 5 PM.
