Park Ji-hyun Shines as the Energetic Mood Maker in 'I Live Alone'

Park Ji-hyun has emerged as the lively mood maker of the running crew, bringing humor and solid support to the team. Previously, in December, before Park Na-rae's departure from the show, Park Ji-hyun appeared on 'I Live Alone' and received praise from viewers for her chemistry with Park Na-rae.

On the episode aired on the 1st, Park Ji-hyun joined the inaugural running crew 'Mudoraji' for the first running course 'Whale Run', planned by Jeon Hyun-moo. The crew, including Park Ji-hyun, Jeon Hyun-moo, Dowoon, and Bae Na-ra, showcased their perfect chemistry from the start.

Jeon Hyun-moo humorously explained his reason for choosing Park Ji-hyun as a member, saying, "She doesn't seem like someone who would want to run," but added, "I will bring out her desire to run." Watching from the studio, Code Kunst commented on the members' gentle chemistry, expressing anticipation for their future activities.

During the first run starting in Mukho, Gangwon-do, Park Ji-hyun demonstrated her meticulous preparation by bringing cucumbers, which are said to be good for running, and showcased her culinary skills with homemade octopus and pork rice balls. The members praised her seasoning, and Park Ji-hyun naturally shone as the team's 'food provider' and supporter.

In the process of gifting handmade T-shirts with drawings of the members' faces by Jeon Hyun-moo, Park Ji-hyun added humor with her witty reactions and candid remarks. Recognizing her face drawing instantly, she jokingly complained, "Honestly, I don't like it," but in an interview, she confessed, "Honestly, I really liked it. You tease close friends, right? I feel closer to Hyun-moo hyung because he teased me with the drawing, and I'm happy."

The members continued the 'fun run' with the latest trend 'Butter Run' concept, carrying whipped cream and running around Mukho, enjoying and relaxing. Park Ji-hyun led the atmosphere with her bright energy, and the stress-free running received positive reactions, with viewers in the studio praising it as "easy to watch without stress," marking the beginning of a healing running crew.

Park Ji-hyun, who is actively working across entertainment and music, will hold the '2026 Park Ji-hyun Concert Showmanship Season 2 "SHOWMANSHIP SEASON 2"' in Gwangju from the 9th to the 10th, continuing her passionate engagement with fans.
