Yoo Jae-suk Breaks Down on 'Running Man' as Daughter Na-eun is Mentioned
On the October 19th episode of SBS's variety show 'Running Man', the cast engaged in a spy-themed race titled 'Running Days: Codename R', set in 1940s Gyeongseong. Special guests included musical actors Yoon Joon-sang, Shin Sung-rok, and Park Eun-tae from 'Swing Days: Codename A'.
During the second mission, members participated in a game called 'Sniper Scratch? Not Scratch?' where they would lose points if they didn't respond with 'Yes'.
After some thought, Haha exclaimed, "Dream, don't be like me!" showing his fatherly side by adding, "Dream should live happily. There's still hope. Turn off the TV and study, kid!"
Haha then targeted Yoo Jae-suk, asking, "You've never kissed anyone in your life, right?" However, Yoo Jae-suk calmly replied, "Yes," maintaining his composure.
Ji Suk-jin retaliated by mentioning Yoo Jae-suk's daughter, Na-eun. Feeling anxious, Yoo Jae-suk pleaded, "There are things an uncle should and shouldn't say."
When Ji Suk-jin emphasized, "You hope Na-eun looks just like you, right? Face! The protruding lips," Yoo Jae-suk clasped his hands together and gave up responding. Haha turned to the camera and said, "Na-eun, I love you. You're beautiful like your mom," showing affection for his niece.
Caught off guard, Yang Se-chan responded, "Why is he doing this?" but eventually answered, "Yes." Kim Jong-kook added humor by saying, "Don't think before you answer. It sounds real," and "We all know it's true," creating laughter.
