Song Ji Hyo, now the CEO of her very own lingerie brand, turned heads with her daring photoshoot—and her Running Man co-stars couldn’t stop talking about it!

On the January 19th episode of SBS's Running Man, the cast was joined by special guests actress Jeon So Min, actor Choi Daniel, and sports stars Kim Ha Yoon and Park Hye Jeong for a hilarious race titled "Team Kill Apology."

The show started off with some laughs as Ji Suk Jin appeared wearing a bright pink sweater. Yang Se Chan couldn’t hold back and joked, “Grandma, is that you?” which had Song Ji Hyo playfully covering her eyes in dismay. Ji Suk Jin defended his outfit, saying, “This is my welcome look for meeting special people today.”

But the spotlight quickly shifted to Song Ji Hyo’s lingerie photoshoot. Yoo Jae Suk brought it up, saying, “Haven’t you seen it? There are even bolder photos than this one.”

Song Ji Hyo confidently explained, “Since it’s for lingerie, I did take some bold photos, but I noticed a few people couldn’t meet my eyes this morning.”

Yang Se Chan wasn’t shy about sharing his thoughts. He immediately chimed in, “I liked it. Noona, I really liked it!” He even reenacted one of her poses from the photoshoot, proving just how memorable it was for him.

For those who missed it, Song Ji Hyo officially launched her lingerie brand on December 29, 2024, debuting with a stunning photoshoot that quickly became a hot topic. Fans and castmates alike praised her confidence and boldness.

It seems Song Ji Hyo is taking her entrepreneurial journey to the next level while keeping her playful charm alive on Running Man!

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
