• HaHa and Ji Suk Jin Can't Contain Their Excitement Over Byun Woo Seok's Appearance on "Running Man"

    HaHa and Ji Suk Jin couldn’t help but “fanboy” over Byun Woo Seok on a recent episode of ‘Running Man.’

    The cast of the popular SBS variety show seemed completely smitten by the charm of the trending actor.

    During a segment where the cast and Byun Woo Seok were engaged in games and enjoying black bean noodles, HaHa, who was seated next to the actor, eagerly took a selfie with him, capturing both the actor and their meal in the frame.

    Byun Woo Seok sportingly flashed a peace sign and joined in for the photo.

    The situation took a hilarious turn when Yoo Jae Suk questioned HaHa’s actions, leading HaHa to reveal that his wife, Byul, is a huge fan of Byun Woo Seok. “My wife really, really likes you,” HaHa confessed, to which Byun Woo Seok responded with a surprised, “Oh, really?” The captions humorously read, HaHa won instead of his wife.”

    Not one to be left behind, Ji Suk Jin also managed to snag a selfie with the actor, despite Yoo Jae Suk’s playful protests.

    The fanboying didn’t stop there as HaHa successfully became Instagram mutuals with Byun Woo Seok on the spot, with Ji Suk Jin quickly following suit.

    Later in the episode, HaHa offered Byun Woo Seok a serving of noodles using his chopsticks, a gesture he usually reserves for a select few guests.

    The episode humorously recalled how HaHa is typically more reserved when it comes to sharing food, as seen with previous guest Kwon Eun Bi.

    Throughout the episode, HaHa openly expressed his fondness for Byun Woo Seok, often forming hand hearts and exclusively sharing food with him. When questioned by the producer if he was being overly nice, HaHa candidly replied, “I really like this kid…”

    Viewers of the episode related to HaHa’s behavior, dubbing themselves and HaHa as ‘HaSol’—a play on the name of the female lead character in Byun Woo Seok’s hit drama ‘Lovely Runner.’

    Reactions include:

    “I am HaHa

    “Why does Byun Woo Seok look so confused by his own fame lmao”

    “Everyone’s become Im Sol at this point…”

    “He is HaSol…”

    “We are all HaSol”

    “I like how HaHa is sweet to him lol”

    “They are just downright mesmerized by the fact that Byun Woo Seok is next to them lol”

    “I thought Haha was his dad”

    “I know this is a variety program but I can seriously tell that he like him lol”

    HaHa is basically me these days…”
