“Running Man” Guest Finds New Crush On Set—Hosts Hustle To Make A Couple Happen
In the latest episode of Running Man, actresses Park Ju Hyun and Ji Ye Eun appeared as guests—with Park helping Ji find true love on set.
After pairing up, Park whispered to host Yoo Jae Suk that Ji asked to be “introduced” to actor Kang Hoon.
Park Ju Hyun: Earlier, when we were on break, Ye Eun asked me to introduce her to Kang Hoon.
Yoo Jae Suk: Really?!
Yoo, upon hearing the gossip, told the whole cast that Ji might be interested in Kang. Ji blushed and waved her hand in denial but soon admitted that she did find Kang attractive!
Yoo Jae Suk: He’s only a few years older than you, which is perfect.
Ji Ye Eun: How old…?
Kang Hoon: Oh, I was born in 1991.
Ji Ye Eun: [Smiles]
Haha: They’re 3 years apart!
Yoo Jae Suk: See? That’s perfect!
From then on, throughout the episode, the hosts hustled to make the couple happen. Kim Jong Kook was spotted showing off Kang’s masculine build to Ji…
Kim Jong Kook: Look how big his shoulders are.
Ji Ye Eun: [Nods]
…while Haha was caught on camera “forcing” the cast and crew to go to the bathroom to give Ji a moment with Kang alone.
Listen, cameramen and crew. Don’t we all need to go the bathroom right now?!
— Haha
Even Yang Se Chan was seen encouraging Ji to express her feelings for Kang with a bouquet of fried chicken drumsticks.
Yang Se Chan: Don’t you want to share some with Kang Hoon?
Ji Ye Eun: [Giggles]
Yang Se Chan: Here, give him this bouquet of not flowers, but fried chicken drumsticks.
While the episode ended without much success for the hosts, as usual with all “love lines” that take place on Running Man, it did gain a ton of new viewers shipping Ji with Kang!
- “Aw, Ji Ye Eun is the loveliest! Haha.”
- “So cute, LOL.”
- “Hahaha! She’s adorable!”
- “This is so cute, LOLOL.”
- “LOL. This is the first time I’m seeing Ji Ye Eun, and she’s such an adorable human being. Haha.”
- “Aw, so cute together! Haha.”
- “The two of them would make such a cute couple.”
- “She’s so lovable, haha.”
- “I watched this when it aired, and she was seriously too cute. Haha. I wonder if she could stay on the show as a host, in Jeon So Min‘s spot. LOL.”
- “I love Kang Hoon, too.”
- “Haha, this is f*cking hilarious.”
