Byeon Woo-seok and Joo Woo-jae have an extraordinary relationship.

Actor Byun Woo-seok appeared as a solo guest on 'Running Man' for the first time in two years. He attracted attention by revealing the unique story of his first meeting with model-turned-broadcaster Joo Woo-jae.

On SBS' 'Running Man' broadcast on the 12th, while moving to the location where the mission was to be carried out, Yoo Jae-seok asked Byun Woo-seok at what age he had been modeling. Byeon Woo-seok worked as a model before debuting as an actor. He answered, “I’ve been modeling since I was 20.” He added, “Actually, I started preparing when I was in high school.”

Kim Jong-kook asked how he became friends with model Joo Woo-jae. Byun Woo-seok surprised those around him by saying, “There was a gathering once when I was working as a model.” He said, "He said, 'Someone is in the bathroom. Please call me,' so I went to the bathroom. So I told the person in the bathroom, 'I think you need to come.' The person in that bathroom was Joo Woo-jae."

Running Man members showed curiosity at the fact that there was a 'gathering' in their first relationship with Joo Woo-jae. Haha asked Joo Woo-jae what he was like at the time, "Was he as cool as he is now? Or did he act like he was cool?" Byun Woo-seok said without a moment of hesitation, “Joo Woo-jae was so cool.” He said, "I started (modeling) late. I was good at other things before my debut," and talked about the fact that Joo Woo-jae, who is talented in many fields, looked great.

He said, "Isn't it a bit obnoxious? I don't know why, but he's good at it," and Kim Jong-kook, who heard this, drew laughter by drawing a line and saying, "He's good at it, but he's not cool. And I don't envy him." Haha also agreed with Kim Jong-kook's words, saying, "It's weak." Haha made people laugh by saying, “Joo Woo-jae acts like he is doing well because Byeon Woo-seok is doing well.”

Running Man members arrived at Mia intersection. Yoo Jae-seok was surprised and said, "I've been here a lot. This building was there when I was in elementary school, and it's exactly the same." Haha jokingly asked Yoo Jae-seok, “Where did your brother have his money stolen?” Yoo Jae-seok made people laugh by saying, "I need to move up a little higher. The guys who took my money are all over 60 now."

Ji Suk-jin also sympathized with Yoo Jae-seok and said, "For the past 6 months, my parents have been begging me to wear O-sized shoes. They forced me to change them." Yoo Jae-seok recalled, "That's why I got scolded by my mother. His shoes smelled so bad." Byeon Woo-seok said, "I didn't know it was real. I thought it was a joke," and Yoo Jae-seok emphasized that it was a true story.
