14 Dec


It's barely 2months since Gary left and there is bad news for my favourite Running Man again. 14 Dec 16, right after I came back from holiday going to work, news splash everywhere. Jihyo and Jong Kook are leaving RM. Gary's departure cause a void in my heart, this news, a part of me inside died. It's already so hard to deal with just 1 person leaving and now 2 together. How to cope? I was about to give my blessing because i know they still have other dreams to pursue but things had an unexpected turn. They didn't want to go, they were booted out by the production team. I think its unfair to say production team because from the way i look, the new PDs, the writers, VJs and crews dosen't seem to be that heartless. I am angry that they only inform JK 2 days before the news came out and WORST, Jihyo only found out from the news. Where is the basic manners? Shouldn't these be discussed and informed way in advance.I can't bear to imagine what she felt that morning. She said before that she will accompany the show till the end, i don't doubt her on this. Her loyalty, her kindness, even when betrayed by the CP. She is still trying to defend them and not mentioned about the unfairness that was done to her. I didnt dare to imagine how the rest of them felt when they saw the news. Suk Jin & Jae Suk treats them like their dongsengs, they always dote on her and one morning, you see your family members' got kick out without informing. Who wont be afraid that they might be the next one. Apology came but what's the point, the damage has been done. After final discusion, it was decided that the show will end in Feb 2017, with the existing casts. This is definitely not how i envision Runny Man to end.

My journey with Running Man.

It's isn't long, I didn't start out with them and joined only recently end 2015. It was the darkest time of my life. My job is causing me so much stress and unhappiness. I'm stuck in a situation and there's nothing much I can do, feeling so helpless. Then I chance upon a fan made video of Jihyo, her beautiful smile led me to watch Running man. My first episode was 147. I couldn't stop laughing midnight alone in my room. I got so addicted that I went to start from the beginning. And now regularly looking forward to Monday, to catch the latest episode. I know I started late so I was preparing myself for the longest time that I don't have much time to watch running man because the members are not young anymore. The show rating has not been performing, the limitations are all there. It's hard for the second break through. I even thought if I can decide, how would the last episode be like. I hope it's a guest-less one, just running man themselves. Or perhaps it's the announcement that the famous Monday couple is now Everyday couple. That would be nice to see. But I Guess there are always surprises in life. I'm shocked, like something heavy weighing down on my chest, a void of emptiness in my heart knowing that I wouldn't be able to see cheesy Monday Boyfriend, Mr random capable, peaceful Gary, sexy dance Gary, the innocent Gary who always get fooled, the Gary that keeps calling Mongji/ Jihyo-ah, the one who always protects and lookout for  his Monday Girlfriend, the one who chose her as his partner, the interactions of Monday couple that brings us the "aww" moments, cannot longer hear her calling "Kang Gary~" that sounds like sweetest thing on earth and many more other interactions with everyone. 31 oct 2010 is the start of Monday couple. 31 oct 2016 Gary is filming for his last time. I dunno how that episode will be like but I hope it will be one that creates the best of all memories for everyone. Thank you for bringing laughter to me when I was down, bringing me into Korean hip hop music. I wish you all the best in your music career, hope to see you in person 1 day. And hopefully to hear good news from you soon, Kagushipta Kang Gary.

My latest addiction: Korean reality variety - Running Man
It's funny how i lived in Singapore but the girl group i like is from Taiwan, actresses from Hong Kong and now variety show from Korea. Multi-national ttm! Anyway, back to Running Man.

I still remembered how much the people around me recommend Running Man when it was at its peak for years. And how much i refused it, for some reasons, i used to be quite anti-korean. But well, fate always works it way around. How long did it take for me to get addicted? Answer:  3:14min all it takes was a wrong click on weibo, Song Ji Hyo and BAM! addiction. And what was the video about? A compilation of Song Ji Hyo most beautiful moments in RM.

So my journey with Running Man started with Ji Hyo and through her, i get to know the 6 other members.

Yoo Jae Suk: BAH-TU-GHEE (Grasshopper) He is one living example of how successful one can get if you have your goal in mind and put in extra extra effort to achieve. No doubt to be the Nation's MC!

Ji Suk Jin: IMPALA~ He may be the "Race Starter" but i see him more as a caring brother to all especially Ji Hyo (more like caring father perhaps?)

Kim Jong Kook: Tiger~ SPARTAKOOKS! Kookie~ Commander! He's so strong, so fit and so cute! Because of his physique, he is always the target but that doesn't stop him from being cute.

Kang Gary: Mr Random Capable, peaceful Gary, Monday Boyfriend. He may have the most common look on screen but he is charming! Super love him on variety and when he raps! Random capable because his power at times shocks everyone, most often ignite by Ji Hyo, his Monday Girlfriend.

HAHA: Haroro, bad kid who loves to act. i like how in the initial stage he looks like Pororo. And he can always turn a boring scene funny and funny scene even funnier!

Song Ji Hyo: Ace, Monday Girlfriend, Mong Ji. She's blank (mong), she sleeps anywhere anytime any height, she doesn't wear makeup, she's not afraid to get down and get dirty for the game. Thumbs up!

Lee Kwang Soo: Girin~Betrayer,Framer Kwang Soo, Unlucky Kwang Soo. He is really made for variety. Earlier stages of framing was hilarious, then betraying members like nothing. His fighting back with Kookie was also funny. And all his unlucky moments sometimes can leave me feeling speechless.

Pi-Cok-Cross, Animal Kingdom(Impala,Girin,Tiger),Candy siblings, KJK and 2 kids,Spartace,Monday Couple,HaHyo,KwangMong,family(father-in-law & Monday couple) and of cos RM team, love all these combination. Hopefully they would still have RM fan meet and i'll go see them in person!

It's been months since i last update. Well, congrats myself on leaving and starting a new adventure at somewhere else. Things have been going quite okay for me, just that now it's bit hectic because of the stock take. Like Daniel asked, how many stock take have i gone through within 1 year. Countless times but at least this time round, it will be fruitful. 57% done, left with 1more week and 3 more stores. Mind over body, I can do it!

Perhaps there's a moment where we were so close but it was missed.
