Ji Suk-jin Names Ji Ye-eun as His Role Model on 'Running Man'

Ji Suk-jin (60) has revealed Ji Ye-eun (31) as his role model.

On the upcoming episode of SBS's variety show 'Running Man', airing at 6:10 PM on the 3rd, guests Chungha and Jeon Somi from 'I.O.I' will make an appearance.

The episode will feature Chungha and Jeon Somi, who have recently reunited to celebrate their 10th debut anniversary, creating a buzz. The race is themed 'Different Colors, Flower Path', where members face disadvantages if their designated color appears on any of the three random color boards. This setup promises a fierce survival competition among the members, with fortunes changing in an instant.

During the mission, Ji Suk-jin surprises everyone by naming an unexpected role model: Ji Ye-eun, who recently started a public relationship with Bata. Although the members reacted with skepticism, Ji Suk-jin defended his choice passionately, saying, “I am starting a passionate love with my wife these days,” and “Can’t older people fall in love?”

The mission sees intense gameplay, with members using any means necessary to win. Official 'Running Man' strategist Haha and Yang Se-chan engage in a physical tussle during the mission. Haha pulls Yang Se-chan's pants, leaving him in leggings, sparking the conflict. Not to be outdone, Yang Se-chan retaliates by grabbing both pants and leggings, turning the scene into chaos. After the mission, Haha humorously reflects, “I felt like I became Adam,” sharing his bewildered state at the time.

The members' excessive ambition leads to further chaos, culminating in a mission fee theft incident. The victim, caught off guard, cannot hide their anger. Viewers are left wondering how this daytime theft will impact the race's outcome.
