Jiyeon and Jang Dong-yoon showcased a mutual love line.
The SBS variety show 'Running Man' aired on the afternoon of the 31st, starting with Kim Jong-kook's marriage news.
During the broadcast, Ji Seok-jin said to Kim Jong-kook, "It would be a bit awkward if you don't come to the wedding," to which Kim Jong-kook replied, "Who is getting married? Are you getting married? Is this a YouTube concept?" showing his disbelief even on the day the marriage article was released.
When Jiyeon, who hadn't heard the news, questioned, "Why didn't you tell me about this!" Kim Jong-kook responded, "Shh, shh," trying to keep it quiet. When Song Ji-hyo said, "I was so happy that I saved the date on my calendar," Jiyeon was surprised and asked, "Are you getting married?"
In response, Kim Jong-kook stammered, "What?" before finally saying, "Yes, I'm getting married. I will live well." Yoo Jae-suk added, "There is a recording that day. Jong-kook is having his 30th anniversary concert this year. So I was wondering what to do for the 30th anniversary concert, and he asked me to host. Then he really got married. I will somehow adjust the recording schedule, so don't worry about Jong-kook..."
Haha, who was listening, muttered to himself, "I have to go somehow... Wow... that's such a blessing!" Yang Se-chan remarked, "There was a hint when you moved in the middle," to which Kim Jong-kook admitted, "I did give away a lot."
While choosing bread, the members were still in shock, and Choi Daniel asked the production team, "Is this for real?"
Yoo Jae-suk questioned, "Why did he announce his marriage like this?" and added, "Jong-kook, you don't have to dress up if you don't want to," while patting Kim Jong-kook on the back. Jiyeon expressed, "It's so amazing! I thought he wouldn't have a girlfriend at all!" and Ji Seok-jin laughed, "Oh, the original house?"
Hearing this, Kim Jong-kook said, "Fortunately, she didn't come home. There was a crisis because of that. After that broadcast, I almost couldn't get married. Now I vacuum every day," showing his changed appearance as a groom-to-be.
At this time, actors Jang Dong-yoon and Kim Ah-young appeared as guests. Upon seeing Jang Dong-yoon, Jiyeon shyly moved to the side, saying, "He looks so young." Kim Ah-young commented, "He has a bit of Jiyeon's style. He looks gentle," and Yang Se-chan added, "His face is so pale," prompting Yoo Jae-suk to laugh, "Dong-yoon is the church oppa style." Jiyeon asked Dong-yoon if he goes to church, and when he replied, "I go very diligently," she responded, "Me too! I went to church yesterday," which made Ji Seok-jin laugh, saying, "They are united by religion."
Afterward, the members had a couple selection dance time. Ah-young said, "I came to end the flirtation today," while gazing at Yang Se-chan and Choi Daniel. The final couple selection resulted in Kim Jong-kook-Jang Dong-yoon, Haha-Song Ji-hyo, Ji Seok-jin-Choi Daniel, Yoo Jae-suk-Jiyeon, and Yang Se-chan-Kim Ah-young.
When Jang Dong-yoon saw Jiyeon fall, he worriedly asked, "Are you hurt?" and Jiyeon reassured him, "Oppa! I'm okay!" while brushing her hair aside and moving closer.
The production team announced that after settling the date expenses, they would have a time to win lottery tickets, stating that they needed to recover a total of 300,000 won for the bread and fruit they had eaten. A lottery ticket would be provided for every 30,000 won spent, and the members were allowed to pay as much as they wanted.
When Jang Dong-yoon was talking to Jiyeon, Kim Ah-young also approached, showing her interest and causing laughter. As Dong-yoon and Jiyeon shared their MBTI types, Kim Jong-kook exclaimed, "No way, they are really on a date!"
With Seok-jin and Se-chan winning the first lottery, each earning 75,000 won, the time for the second date course approached. In the same car were Jae-suk, Jiyeon, Haha, Ji-hyo, Se-chan, and Ah-young, who said, "Kim Jong-kook's handwritten letter has been posted." Yoo Jae-suk responded, "Oh, is he also an idol?" Haha added, "So it's not your sister-in-law, but Park Se-ri?" showing that he was still in shock. The six of them, who arrived at the Songtan Tourist Zone, had a date at a burger place.
Meanwhile, at the boxing gym, Jong-kook, Dong-yoon, Seok-jin, and Daniel sparred against Matthew. Jong-kook alone achieved 30 sparring rounds, while the Jong-kook-Dong-yoon team earned 100,000 won, and Seok-jin-Daniel earned 70,000 won. Afterward, each couple drew lottery tickets, and Yoo Jae-suk won the jackpot lottery, earning 200,000 won.
While Haha and Ji-hyo chose burgers, Dong-yoon-Jong-kook, Jae-suk-Jiyeon, and Se-chan-Ah-young headed to a budae jjigae restaurant. The couples were switched to Jae-suk-Ah-young and Se-chan-Jiyeon, and the winning couple of the quiz, Se-chan and Jiyeon, earned 100,000 won.
Jiyeon, who chose the first ball, sold it to Jang Dong-yoon for 12,000 won, and Dong-yoon ended up winning 500,000 won. Dong-yoon said, "I'll share 30, 10, 10," giving 100,000 won each to Jong-kook and Jiyeon.
As a result of combining the winnings, Jang Dong-yoon, Choi Daniel, and Kim Jong-kook ranked first, second, and third, respectively, while Jiyeon, Song Ji-hyo, and Kim Ah-young faced a penalty of making couple key rings.
The show airs on Sundays at 6:15 PM on SBS.
