"Running Man" continues to yammer about pink-skewed skits even a month into fixed member Ji Ye-eun's public relationship.
On the 10th, the SBS variety show "Running Man" featured singer MeloMance's Kim Min-seok, actor Chae Won-bin, and former baseball player Yoo Hee-kwan as guests.
Among them, Yoo Hee-kwan showed a presence familiar to the "Running Man" members because Yoo Hee-kwan was on the past "some guy" list of "Running Man" fixed member Ji Ye-eun.
However, Ji Ye-eun had already quickly acknowledged her dating when she was caught up in dating rumors with famous dancer Bata on the 13th of last month, and she is currently publicly dating. Because the dating rumors had been reported at the time of recording, "Running Man" members such as Yu Jae-seok and Haha also showed regret at the timing of Yoo Hee-kwan's booking.
Yoo Hee-kwan insisted, "I never liked Ye-eun," drawing a line at being "some," to which Ji Ye-eun retorted, "Oppa liked me." Even Yu Jae-seok brought up that Yoo Hee-kwan once drank wine with Ji Ye-eun in the past and questioned the authenticity of the "some." Yoo Hee-kwan again drew a line, calling her a "close junior."
The more he denied it, the more the "Running Man" members continued to tease him. Eventually Yoo Hee-kwan confessed, "When Ji Ye-eun's dating rumors came out, I was inwardly anxious. I was afraid the guest would be changed," revealing some private worry and creating laughter with his candidness.
Even after Yoo Hee-kwan put a period on his one-sided love for Ji Ye-eun, the pink atmosphere continued. This time Yoo Hee-kwan confessed his personal feelings toward another "Running Man" fixed member, actor Song Ji-hyo, saying, "Actually, there is someone I like. I like older women. I met her at a baseball stadium."
Despite the already finished love story sketch between Ji Ye-eun and Yoo Hee-kwan, the pink atmosphere on "Running Man" somehow continued. When Yu Jae-seok regretted the timing, saying, "They should have called Yoo Hee-kwan before the dating rumors came out," Haha commented, "This is exactly a love triangle," again referring to Kim Min-seok, Ji Ye-eun, and Yoo Hee-kwan forming a team and continuing the race.
At the end of the broadcast, despite losing the race, Yoo Hee-kwan held the hand of Song Ji-hyo, who competed on a different team, hinting at the possibility of a couple race by saying, "Next time, let's do it like this." He even mentioned the race prize of gold, saying, "I'll buy the gold for you," and raised Song Ji-hyo's hand high.
Since the launch of "Running Man," the pink atmosphere between female members and male participants has never stopped, from founding members Song Ji-hyo and Gary's Monday couple to Jeon So-min and Yang Se-chan, and Ji Ye-eun and male guests. It seems the pink skits of "Running Man" continue even after Ji Ye-eun's public relationship. However, you cannot catch two opposite rabbits of dating rumors and romance mentions at the same time. Moreover, many now find the repetitive pink-skewed skits tiresome. It is time for "Running Man" to find new content. <
