Yoo Jae-suk made a sharp comment on Kang Hoon's return to 'Running Man'.
The SBS show 'Running Man', aired on the 7th, featured the second part of the 'Isn't This the Taste of Romance?' race.
As the members were wrapping up preparations for dinner, Ji Ye-eun, who had left due to health issues, returned to the set.
Previously, Ji Ye-eun had suddenly left for the hospital due to a cold, and Yoo Jae-suk informed, "Ye-eun's condition isn't 100%. She went to the hospital to get an IV for the two-day shoot."
Upon her return, Ji Ye-eun smiled and said, "I feel great. My face looks better too." The members warmly welcomed her back, saying, "Just eat and relax."
Ji Ye-eun had previously taken a three-week break in August due to a thyroid condition.
Meanwhile, the preview for next week's episode featured actor Kang Hoon, who had previously been a temporary member. Yoo Jae-suk remarked, "Who is this? Isn't he the one who left after we made him popular?" drawing attention.
The production team explained, "It's the day when all the youngest members raised by 'Running Man' are gathered." Kang Hoon, returning after a while, humorously stirred the group by saying, "Shall we cheer? Kang Hoon, Kang Hoon, fighting!"
Kang Hoon continued his on-screen romance with Ji Ye-eun. Sitting next to Kang Hoon, Ji Ye-eun said, "I'm a woman who wants to be led. Let's start from today," as she held his hand tightly.
The members took notice of their budding romance, asking, "Why are you holding hands?" Meanwhile, Choi Daniel added to the love triangle by saying, "I was happy to see Ye-eun every time we filmed," and Ji Seok-jin asked, "You noticed Daniel's feelings, didn't you?" Ji Ye-eun playfully responded, "I knew he liked me," eliciting laughter.
In a mission to vote for the most cherished youngest member, Kim Jong-kook warned, "Grasshopper hyung might vote for you," but Yoo Jae-suk firmly stated, "I won't. I'm not voting for Kang Hoon," sparking interest.
