In a captivating appearance on SBS's 'Running Man,' Kim Dong-jun showcased his charm and charisma, delighting fans across Korea.

Having debuted in 2010 as a member of the boy band Empire's Children, Kim returned to 'Running Man' after three and a half years, receiving a warm welcome from his fellow cast members. Although he appeared more mature, his unfamiliarity with MZ slang led to humorous moments during the show, prompting Yoo Jae-suk to tease him about how much he had changed. Kim jokingly responded about his transformation after military service, adding a lighthearted touch to the episode.

As the show progressed, Kim Dong-jun developed a budding love line with actress Ji Ye-eun, who showed keen interest in him. Displaying exceptional cooking skills, he effectively guided Ji in preparing dishes, fostering endearing moments that charmed viewers. When Ji stumbled while making spicy seafood noodles, Kim skillfully stepped in to save the dish, earning praise from the other members.

Towards the end of the broadcast, Kim was selected for a punishment that required him to catch a basket full of clams, yet he still found time to flirt with Ji by passing her some clams, creating a warm and playful atmosphere. Looking ahead, Kim Dong-jun is set to make his next big appearance on TV CHOSUN’s new variety show 'Survival King,' which premieres on October 7 at 10 PM.

'Survival King' promises an exciting survival challenge set in a rugged jungle and will also be available on global OTT platform Netflix, enticing fans eager for more of Kim Dong-jun's captivating presence.
