[Diva Plastic Surgery] Dr. Kim Jong-myeong’s younger brother

Hello. This is Diva Plastic Surgery.^^

2020 feels like time passed especially quickly because of COVID-19. Watching the 2020 SBS Entertainment Awards, I felt a little disappointed, but at the same time, I was curious and excited to see who would receive the grand prize. There were a total of eight grand prize nominees: Baek Jong-won, Yang Se-hyung, Seo Jang-hoon, Lee Seung-gi, Yoo Jae-suk, Kim Gu-ra, Kim Jong-kook, and Shin Dong-yup! They are all entertainers who were active all year long on SBS’s popular variety shows. In a pre-interview for the awards nominees, Yoo Jae-suk predicted that Kim Jong-kook would win the grand prize. That was because he had steadily and faithfully walked the path of variety entertainment, from X-Man to Running Man.

In his pre-interview, Kim Jong-kook said in response to hearing that many people expected him to be the grand prize winner, "I’m very grateful, but I wonder if it’s because I’ve been doing this for a long time. The grand prize is not an award that can satisfy everyone, no matter who receives it. Still, it would be nice to get it," giving an honest and cheerful answer. So, who won the grand prize in the end?

Yes! It was none other than Kim Jong-kook, Dr. Kim Jong-myeong of Diva Plastic Surgery’s younger brother, who won the grand prize!! Kim Jong-kook, who has been loved as a singer ever since his days with Turbo, said that although he was originally shy, after continuing variety shows for so long, it feels like variety entertainment has become his life now. He truly worked hard for a long time, so he seems fully deserving of this award.

The colleagues from Running Man and My Little Old Boy, the programs where Kim Jong-kook has brought laughter to many people as an entertainer, also came out together and sincerely rejoiced and congratulated him.

Kim Jong-kook is usually very energetic, but as he called out to the people he loves and thanked them, his eyes gradually became red.. He also offered words of encouragement to viewers who have been feeling worn out and struggling because of COVID-19 these days. As Kim Jong-kook said, 2020 seems to have been a year that taught us to feel even more grateful for the small things in our everyday lives.

Finally, he closed by thanking his family, who are more precious than anything in this world. He said that Dr. Kim Jong-myeong of Diva Plastic Surgery is someone who could live without breaking the law, and expressed how grateful he always is. He also said that Kim Jong-kook’s mother and father became famous through TV appearances. Kim Jong-kook said that his mother and father are so wonderful and admirable, and he ended with tears in his eyes by saying how thankful he is that they are his parents. People like Kim Jong-kook, who steadily and quietly do their best in one place, are truly admirable. I’m looking forward to his future activities as well~!!
