'42-year-old' Song Ji-hyo "I wanted to look younger... I underwent harsh treatment"

Actress Song Ji-hyo coolly confessed to having undergone the procedure.

In episode 705 of SBS' 'Running Man', which aired on the 19th, a virtual trainee selection audition was held. The rule was that Yoo Jae-seok and Kim Jong-kook would recruit two people from each entertainment company as representatives of their agencies. Ji Seok-jin, Song Ji-hyo, Yang Se-chan, and Haha were given the role of trainees.

Yoo Jae-seok made everyone laugh by saying, "I've already decided on the people I'm going to 'PICK' in my mind. I'm not going to pick the goalkeeper." Before the actual audition, debutant Cho visited. The main characters were Ahn Yu-jin and Ray, members of the group Ive.

An Yu-jin joked, “Actually, trainees can’t even look each other in the eye.” Yang Se-chan said, “Is there a senior like that?” and then quickly adopted a polite attitude.

Song Ji-hyo, who challenged the audition as a trainee, said, "Hello. My name is Song Ji-hyo, and I have been preparing to be an idol since I was born." Haha couldn't stop the laughter from leaking out, saying, "He's so funny today." Song Ji-hyo, born in 1981, confessed the fact of the procedure, saying, "Actually, I got laser treatment because I wanted to look younger."

Yoo Jae-seok laughed and said, “It was very swollen.” Ji Seok-jin added, “(The procedure) is called O Therapy.” Song Ji-hyo jokingly said, "My nickname is Song Sera. I hit a lot of shots and it's a bit swollen."

Yoo Jae-seok asked, “How many shots did it take to get like this?” Song Ji-hyo made everyone around her laugh, saying, "I took 600 shots. I didn't know it would swell like this." Yoo Jae-seok said, “It’s good,” and added, “If they come to us, we will start with ‘Cera 600’ as their stage name.”

Song Ji-hyo said she would show the song without saying anything else. One of them embarrassed Song Ji-hyo by saying, “Isn’t the movie ‘It’s Painful’ also about this?” While Song Ji-hyo danced, the members added laughter to the atmosphere by shouting 'Cera 600'.

Yoo Jae-seok also added excitement by adding comments such as “It’s been swollen for a week” and “It will go down tomorrow.” Song Ji-hyo, who brought up the 'Running Man' dinner party vibe, finished the audition stage while showing off her passion. Accordingly, it received reviews that said, “High marks for confidence and courage” and “A stage that conveys the loneliness of middle age.”
