Running Man cast member Song Ji-hyo provoked laughter after an offbeat remark even sparked suspicions of an "alcohol broadcast."
On the 4th episode of SBS Running Man, a "Follow the horse, bingo conquest" Race was held to welcome the Year of the Red Horse in 2026.
On that day's Race, nine bingo squares appeared, each listing a horse-related mission. Contestants could choose a desired mission and, by succeeding before the 3 p.m. deadline, earn a prize sticker each time. Finally, two dice with the last acquired prize stickers attached were rolled, and whether "prize" or "penalty" appeared determined whether members received the prize or the penalty.
After hearing the rules, the members first chose the central bingo square, "draw a horse and trade carrots," as the first mission. Running Man or member names could be mentioned, but direct references such as photo verification or filming were not allowed.
In response, Yu Jae-seok said, "Anyway, the person who draws well should draw," but Kim Jong Kook suggested Yu Jae-seok should draw, saying, "I think I'd want something drawn by a famous person."
Meanwhile, Yu Jae-seok suggested, "Everyone draw a horse," and the members began sketching horses in their sketchbooks. Yu Jae-seok emphasized the importance of drawing skills, saying, "Objectively, you have to draw the horse well. At least for our used-item transactions, no matter how famous the celebrity who draws it is..."
Then Song Ji-hyo made an offbeat remark, saying, "So it would be good if someone who draws well does it," and Yu Jae-seok pointed out, "Ji-hyo, you already said that just now."
Haha also scolded, "What is that echo?" and Yang Se-chan teased Song Ji-hyo's fondness for drinking, saying, "Excessive drinking..." Song Ji-hyo declared, "I'm going to abstain from alcohol this year," but Yang Se-chan confidently replied, "I'll bet my entire fortune you won't!"
Upon hearing this, Jee Seokjin asked Song Ji-hyo, "How long will it last?" but Song Ji-hyo fell silent without answering, adding to the laughter.
