In X-Man, he had a loyal follower, Haha, who often imitated his style and dance. And of course, he had some lovelines with many beautiful girls, therefore the famous one was his loveline with Yoo Eun Hye.

Family Outing was his first variety show after released from military service. He joined the show in episode 19. In the first episodes, he had a shy character. Even he had an awkward relationship with Lee Hyori and Park Yejin, the female members. In later episodes, he showed his strong character. He’s on the same boat with ‘the devil game’ and strong man Kim Soo Roo. His strong character often treated his weak hyungs, Yoo Jae Suk and the elder Yong Jong Shin badly to make the show looked more interesting. But sometimes, the hyungs took revenge by teasing him with women that made him got blushed. Because of his ‘bad’ character towards his hyungs, many viewers criticized him.  

His recent show, Running Man, he has villain character as the Commander and SpartaKook. He treated all Running Man’s members in evil way. He treated his hyungs, Ji Suk Jin and Yoo Jae Suk badly. He also treated his dongsaengs, Haha, Gary, and Lee Kwang Soo unkindly. Even, he treated Song Ji Hyo, the only female members not as a woman. Those KJK bad characters invited the fans to hate him more. They didn’t like on what KJK did on the shows.

When KJK did the rude things to other members, they would criticize him. They would say that KJK is a bad and rude man. He had no manner toward his hyungs and he was unkind to his dongsaeng even he couldn’t treat woman nicely. Otherwise, if the other members who did the bad and annoying things, they will say that it’s for the show sake or it’s because of KJK himself, which stated that his bad things reflect on him.

Let’s imagine if there is no villain on the show. Will the show looks interesting. Or let’s compare to a movie. If a movie has no villain, will the movie looks good. A villain is a need for a movie or a show. Without villain a movie or a show will looks boring. KJK is the only RM member who become the main focus for every guest in RM to beat. It will be an honor for guest or other RM members if they succeed to beat the Commander. Yoo Jae Suk said that you can really enjoy your winning if you beat Kim Jong Kook (RM ep. 129).
