On the latest episode of SBS's 'Running Man,' aired on the 8th, Song Ji-hyo expressed her discontent towards Kim Jong-kook's favoritism.
The episode featured a 'Draw as You Go' race where the members interacted with various citizens. During a meal, Kim Jong-kook tasted a giant gimbap for the first time and exclaimed, "What is this? It's delicious." Ji Suk-jin humorously commented, "Why save money? You should buy things like this."
Ji-ye Eun attempted to take a big bite of the giant gimbap, initially failing to fit it vertically but then successfully pushing it in horizontally, causing Daniel Choi to burst into laughter. Kim Jong-kook, watching with affection, remarked, "She's a magician." Yoo Jae-suk noticed and said, "Jong-kook finds Ji-ye Eun adorable."
When Kim Jong-kook admitted, "She's cute," Song Ji-hyo, a long-time member, expressed her feelings, "In nearly 15 years, you've never looked at me like that. You always look at me like I'm a nuisance."
Ha Ha commented, "It's like watching mom and dad," while Yoo Jae-suk humorously added, "It would be weird if he started looking at you like that now," effectively shutting down any potential love line.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that Yang Se-chan recently made a secret trip to Las Vegas without informing the other members. Kim Jong-kook questioned, "Why didn't you tell me you were going to the U.S.?" expressing curiosity about the secretive trip.
Ha Ha jokingly congratulated him, saying, "It's uncomfortable to be with someone if you're with your girlfriend," sparking rumors. He added, "Jong-kook goes because of a hidden baby, and Se-chan goes because of a hidden girlfriend," creating fake news.
Yang Se-chan clarified, "I went with Yang Se-hyung and Kang Jae-joon," but Kim Jong-kook teased, "I thought he was keeping it a secret, so I kept it quiet."
Ha Ha continued to tease, "Afraid your girlfriend will be discovered? Is she an idol?" and joked, "Aren't you spending too much money to travel with your girlfriend?" causing laughter.
