In a candid interview, popular South Korean actress Song Ji Hyo has opened up about the emotional turmoil she experienced during a controversy surrounding her behavior on the SBS variety show 'Running Man.'

Appearing on the YouTube program '핑계고' on the 2nd day, Song Ji Hyo engaged in a heartfelt conversation with the show's hosts, which included renowned broadcasters Yoo Jae Suk, Ji Suk Jin, and Ha Ha.

During the interview, Yoo Jae Suk, often referred to as the "Nation's MC," broached the topic, saying, "While watching the show, there were times when Ji Hyo remained unusually quiet." Song Ji Hyo did not shy away from the subject and bravely admitted, "That's true. So, when there was a 'leaving controversy,' I was very grateful to Yoo Jae Suk and Ji Suk Jin."

Yoo Jae Suk revealed his supportive role during the challenging period, saying, "At that time, I called Song Ji Hyo and said, 'Have you not seen the articles yet? If you haven't, don't read them. Don't search for them either.'"

He reflected on his actions, saying, "I called her because she's a sensitive person. At first, I thought I was pretending to be cheerful, but I hadn't actually seen the articles."

Song Ji Hyo went on to share more about her experience, recalling Yoo Jae Suk's comforting words, "At that time, Yoo Jae Suk told me, 'Starting next week, focus on doing your best, so don't worry.'" She also revealed the impact the controversy had on her, saying, "In reality, I searched for my name more during that week than in the past year. Those articles did stimulate me, and I worked harder afterward."

Yoo Jae Suk lightened the mood by sharing a humorous anecdote that followed the controversy, saying, "One day, Song Ji Hyo sent a text message saying, 'Today, I'm planning to do TikTok with Seok Jin oppa. Please watch it carefully.' I asked her why she was announcing it when she could have just done it," evoking laughter from the audience.

Song Ji Hyo's openness about her struggles and the support she received from her colleagues on 'Running Man' has garnered praise from fans and industry peers alike. Her resilience in the face of adversity continues to inspire many.
