Kim Jong Kook revealed on the recent episode of the show 'Running Man' that his habit of hoarding plastic bags has been cured after purchasing a new home valued at 6.2 billion KRW. During the show, i-dle members Miyeon and Soyeon were guests to promote their new song "Good Thing."

Host Yoo Jae Suk made a playful remark about Kim Jong Kook's home purchase, alluding to the speculation that he bought the house by collecting plastic bags. This was in reference to a previous incident where Kim Jong Kook was seen stockpiling plastic bags on his veranda, attracting public attention.

Kim Jong Kook acknowledged the joke with a laugh, recalling the comments suggesting he bought the house using the collected plastic bags. He humorously mentioned that he has now kicked the habit, sharing that when a plastic bag comes his way, he simply tosses it out without hesitation. The singer's lighthearted confession indicated a positive change in his behavior.
