SBS variety program “Running Man,” which aired on September 15, featured a Chuseok special episode titled “The Unlucky Family Is Here,” with Geum Sae-rok and Hong Jin-ho as guests.
In this episode, the unfortunate family battle is between the “Ji-hyo family”, consisting of father Yang Se-chan, twin brothers Yoo Jae-suk and Hong Jin-ho, and the “Sae-rok family”, where Ji Seok-jin and Kim Jong-kook play the devoted sons while their unfortunate father Haha complains about his rebellious sons.
“Ji-hyo’s family” included Song Ji-hyo, Yoo Jae-suk, Yang Se-chan and Hong Jin-ho, who made their appearance. As soon as Hong Jin-ho sat down, he groaned, “Oh, I feel like I’m dying.“
Yoo Jae-suk replied in disbelief: “You just sat down lightly, why do you say you are dying?” At which point Hong Jin-ho joked: “I’ve been gaining weight lately and it’s really hard for me.“
Hong Jin-ho, who got married in March this year, said: “I’m not a newlywed yet? And my wife is pregnant, so we mostly stay home and eat a lot together. That’s why I gained a lot of weight,” adding that they were expecting a “honeymoon baby.”
In February, during his previous appearance on “Running Man,” Hong Jin-ho handed out wedding invitations. Referring to the bank account number written on the invitation, he said confidently, “I knew you wouldn’t come to my wedding, so I just asked for congratulations.“
Yoo Jae-suk then asked Song Ji-hyo, “Why didn’t you go to Hong Jin-ho’s wedding?” to which she replied, “I sent the money for the wedding, but he didn’t even know it was from me.,” arousing curiosity.
Yoo Jae-suk laughed, adding, “He didn’t know because you sent it to him under the name “Cheon Soo-yeon” (Song Ji-hyo’s real name).” Hong Jin-ho admitted, “I didn’t know that was his real name.“
Yoo Jae-suk continued to joke: “Song Ji-hyo has three names: Cheon Sung-im, Cheon Soo-yeon, and Song Ji-hyo. But now, even ‘Cheon Soo-yeon’ has become too well-known, so she is thinking of changing it again,” prompting laughter.
Yoo Jae-suk then poked fun at Hong Jin-ho’s notoriously unclear pronunciation, saying: “If there were ever a voice recognition lock, he wouldn’t be able to get into the house because he wouldn’t be recognized.” Hong Jin-ho replied naturally, “My mouth is perfect, but my pronunciation is not great,” embracing the joke and eliciting even more laughter.
