On October 30, HaHa uploaded a new video titled “Let’s Be Honest, Isn’t Mind Cheating Much Worse?” on his YouTube channel “HaHa PD”.
While the majority of the video was lighthearted, one segment stood out when HaHa talked about what she called “rude running habits” she witnessed on city sidewalks.
After finishing his morning run, HaHa appeared cheerful but quickly turned serious, saying: “I feel great. Running in the morning should be a basic habit. But as a novice runner, I want to ask everyone who runs in the city to be a little more respectful.”
He went on to explain that some runners behave as if the sidewalks belong only to them, creating uncomfortable situations for pedestrians.
“Some people ruin it for everyone. When I wear my running gear, I sometimes get dirty looks from people who misbehave. Remember, the sidewalks are not ours. The least we can do is say, ‘Sorry.’ But shouting ‘Move!’ or ‘Go away!’ It’s just too much.”
HaHa didn’t stop there, he also criticized the growing trend of shirtless male runners in urban areas, urging them to be more respectful.
“We get it: you’re in good shape” he said laughing, “but running without a shirt isn’t necessary. Maybe bring an extra shirt or something. It’s not really that.”
His comments resonated with many viewers, who praised him for addressing an often overlooked issue in Korea’s growing running culture. The comments section of the video quickly filled with support:
- He’s saying what everyone thinks.
- It’s about time someone mentioned running etiquette.
- As a runner I absolutely agree. We share public spaces: we are polite.
Known for his humor and energy on variety shows such as Running Man AND What do you do when you play?HaHa’s YouTube channel has become a more personal platform where she shares thoughts on everyday life, fitness and family.
This isn’t the first time he’s tackled the topic of social manners: Previous videos have included reflections on road rage, neighborhood noise and digital etiquette. His latest remarks about running around town, however, stood out for their balance of humor and sincerity, showing another side of the veteran entertainer.
“Running is for health, not to disturb others” HaHa concluded. “If we all showed a little more respect, the streets could be better for everyone.”
With Korea’s urban running culture rapidly expanding, HaHa’s simple “wake-up call” seems to have hit home, reminding athletes and casual joggers alike that fitness shouldn’t come at the expense of civility.
