Krystal Jung Returns to 'Running Man' After 12 Years, Sparks Love Line with Shin Seung-ho

Krystal Jung candidly expressed her feelings about a love line with a peer on 'Running Man'.

On the October 5th episode of SBS's variety show 'Running Man', the 'War of the Best: Ladder of Fate' race featured actors Jung Woo, Krystal Jung, and Shin Seung-ho from the movie 'Jjanggu'.

Yoo Jae-suk warmly welcomed Krystal, who appeared on the show for the first time in 12 years, saying, "It's been a while, Krystal." Ji Suk-jin admired her unchanged visuals.

Krystal revealed, "I won with Gary oppa in 2012. I was on TV then, and I still use that TV. It's in my room." Yoo Jae-suk informed the members that she still uses the smart TV she received as a gift 14 years ago, and the production team noted, "Krystal has won every time she appeared on 'Running Man'."

'Monday Couple' Ji Ye-eun showed interest in Shin Seung-ho. Yoo Jae-suk revealed, "Shin Seung-ho, being a former soccer player, should be physically strong, but he's more of a knowledge guy. When asked if he knew any famous quotes, he said he only knows Bible verses. Ye-eun was charmed by that, saying she likes church oppas."

Ji Ye-eun humorously responded, "Didn't he flirt with me first? He's a year younger, but I want to call him oppa. I'll call him oppa."

Ji Ye-eun even saved a seat next to her for Shin Seung-ho on the bus, betraying her 'benefactor' Jung Woo. The members cheered on the love line, saying, "Ye-eun really likes Seung-ho," and "Their religions match."

When Shin Seung-ho mentioned that his ideal type is a woman who smiles a lot and is polite, Ji Suk-jin and Yoo Jae-suk jokingly remarked, "Ye-eun smiles a lot but isn't polite," expressing their disappointment.

Former love interest Yang Se-chan helped Ji Ye-eun and Shin Seung-ho hold hands, supporting the love line. As the focus shifted to the trio's romance, Yoo Jae-suk pointed out, "Krystal is walking alone behind them."

Ji Ye-eun tried to include Krystal, her peer, but Krystal humorously told her, "Just go on a date," linking arms with Song Ji-hyo and saying, "Love comes first," causing laughter.
