SBS’s Running Man is still going strong — and Song Ji Hyo and Kim Jong Kook are once again stealing the spotlight!

The April 20 episode ranked No.1 in its time slot for the 2049 demographic (ages 20 to 49), scoring a solid 2.4% in ratings and peaking at a whopping 5.4% during its most exciting moment, according to Nielsen Korea.

This week’s episode had fans laughing non-stop with the theme Merchants’ War: Earn or Go Home. The cast split into two teams: Yoo Jae Suk’s team and Kim Jong Kook’s team, and each group had to sell items through a live auction.

While Yoo Jae Suk’s team created laughs with Ji Suk Jin’s wig adventures, it was Kim Jong Kook’s team — and especially Song Ji Hyo — who stole the show.

While out on their mission, CEO Song Ji Hyo impressed everyone with her smart business mindset. “You have to sell it with the mindset of ‘I want to buy this for myself,’” she said confidently. Kim Jong Kook was clearly impressed, saying, “You talk like a real CEO.”

But the moment that sent viewers (and cast members) into shock came right after — Song Ji Hyo suddenly called Kim Jong Kook yeobo, which means “honey” in Korean, usually used between married couples or lovers.

The members went wild at her unexpected words. Ji Hyo quickly tried to explain, “I meant to say yeoboseyo,” which means “hello” on the phone — but the moment was already iconic.

Fans online couldn’t get enough of the chemistry between the two stars, with many calling it the “highlight” of the episode.

Later on, Kim Jong Kook’s team offered a hilarious “tumbler + 4-member photo booth” bundle to win over the production team in an auction.

Although most of the bids ended up lower than expected, their team eventually won the final round thanks to a lucky roulette spin. Meanwhile, Yoo Jae Suk’s team had to smash a clay pot as punishment.

As always, Running Man delivered big laughs, unexpected moments, and just a bit more fuel for those who love the Song Ji Hyo x Kim Jong Kook “love line.”

Fans are now wondering — was it really a slip of the tongue, or is there something more?
