On December 25th, Song Ji Hyo’s YouTube channel released a video titled “Dusty Christmas. Kong Kong Kung, Yang Chann, JO Yeun,” characterized by Running Man members gathered for a relaxed conversation.
Kim Jong Kook opened by saying: “We went there Running Man for 16 years, so I thought we knew almost everything about each other… but the fact that she dated someone for 8 years without us knowing is even more shocking.” She expressed disappointment in only recently learning that Song Ji Hyo has had a boyfriend for so long.
Yang Se Chan also expressed his surprise, joking, “Didn’t she have a boyfriend from the beginning? Running Man?” Kim Jong Kook added, “He talks so openly about our lives, yet his love life was completely hidden,” showing his playful frustration. Song Ji Hyo calmly replied, “It’s not that it didn’t happen, I just didn’t talk about it.”
Despite spending 16 years together, the members were still shocked to discover his 8-year relationship. Song Ji Hyo’s dating style added another layer of surprise for the cast. When asked how she spent Christmas with her partner, she admitted, “Honestly, I barely celebrate Christmas. That week is usually full of filming and events, so it’s the busiest time for professionals in our profession,” adding that romantic dates or elegant venues were rare.
Kim Jong Kook commented, “Most men get stressed about event seasons, but dating her for 8 years must have been really comfortable,” while Yang Se Chan jokingly noted, “She doesn’t care about wine or whiskey, just soju. Instead of an expensive steak, a simple ice cream soup with soju works perfectly. That’s probably why their 8-year relationship has lasted,” bringing laughter to the gathering.
