Song Ji-hyo revealed the office of the online underwear store she is the CEO of on 'Running Man'.
The SBS entertainment program 'Running Man', aired on the afternoon of the 28th, featured a race titled 'Dear, Give That Salary to the CEO', with MONSTA X's Jooheon and Kwon Eun-bi as guests.
On this day, Haha, Song Ji-hyo, and Kwon Eun-bi transformed into CEOs. The three conducted interviews with the other members to recruit employees. Ji Yea-eun candidly stated, "I'm the only one who is currently employed, you know? I'm trying to change jobs from an advertising company. I used to earn 3.5 million won a month."
She added, "I haven't had any office romances. I only would if I really liked someone!" indicating that she has never experienced an office romance. When Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Didn't you like Kang Hoon?" Ji Yea-eun firmly replied, "No!" but when Kim Jong-kook asked, "What if Kang Hoon liked you?" she responded, "Then we would date."
When Yoo Jae-suk asked, "What happened with Jang Dong-yoon?", and Ji Seok-jin inquired, "Who do you like more?", Ji Yea-eun confessed her feelings for Jang Dong-yoon, saying, "I like him. Dong-yoon oppa (is better)."
Haha stated, "We don't want office romances," to which Yea-eun replied, "Fortunately, there’s no one here to have an office romance with." When Jooheon asked, "Am I not good enough?", Yea-eun clarified, "You're the same age... and you seem like a cat person, but I like dog people, so I'm sorry... You're charming too!"
When asked if she liked any of the three CEOs, Yea-eun boldly declared, "Honestly, I... I actually do, more than I thought?" surprising the members. Ji Seok-jin awkwardly said, "You don't have to say that," while Haha suggested, "You like food, right? Then let's do it at our company." Yea-eun insisted, "No! I really do like them! I may seem unappealing!" causing everyone to burst into laughter. Yang Se-chan remarked, "I can't even join this talk. You little rascal," and kept quiet.
Next up was applicant Yang Se-chan. As Kwon Eun-bi saw him come forward, she laughed, saying, "It's funny just standing there." He spread rumors, asking, "How long have you been dating your girlfriend? I heard there's a rumor about you having two girlfriends?"
When Yoo Jae-suk couldn't continue, saying, "What is 'Ssaebsaeb' in the idol world...," Yang Se-chan apologized, saying, "I'm sorry to everyone who is with me right now."
After all the interviews, Haha, Kim Jong-kook, and Jooheon recruited Ji Yea-eun and Choi Daniel, while Kwon Eun-bi recruited Yoo Jae-suk, Ji Seok-jin, and Yang Se-chan as employees. The production team explained, "The CEO should share the profits with the employees. However, the salaries given to each employee will not be disclosed. Employees can report if the CEO does not distribute the salary well, and if they do not report, they can earn double the remaining balance. If reported and the CEO is found guilty of embezzlement, all the money will go to the employees, and if not, the employees can never report again."
The first task was a desk durability test. The members had to lie face down and stay on the desk without touching the ground. They were told that if one person succeeded, each would receive 1 million won, prompting the members to enthusiastically say, "We have to do this."
As Choi Daniel and Yoo Jae-suk passed in order, Haha, who was next, said, "Okay, let's give it a try. Let's become stars," and self-hypnotized. Ji Seok-jin commented, "He's been working out lately, so his lower body is good. His calves look like chicken legs."
However, not long after Haha attempted, he exclaimed, "Wait a minute... I'm stuck here? My... my thing is stuck. It really hurts," causing the studio to burst into laughter. Yang Se-chan joked, "It's a 'my thing' issue," reflecting on the reason for his failure and eliciting more laughter.
Next was the turn for the female members. Kwon Eun-bi passed, and her team earned a total of 3 million won. Song Ji-hyo and Haha's team only earned 1 million won.
As lunchtime approached, the Eun-bi team employees asked, "Honestly, is the salary different?" When Kwon Eun-bi mentioned that she paid differently, Ji Seok-jin expressed his disappointment, saying, "Then I have no choice but to report."
While Haha's team chose the company cafeteria, Song Ji-hyo opted to save money and selected food from a convenience store. She then said, "There's free food. I'll really treat you to delicious ramen," and took the employees to her actual underwear company. When Choi Daniel lifted up a red women's underwear, Ji Yea-eun exclaimed, "This is really weird! Just look at it," and quickly distanced herself. The three had a simple meal of cup noodles and convenience store food in Song Ji-hyo's office.
The Kwon Eun-bi team dined at a Chinese restaurant, where Ji Seok-jin ended up paying the full amount of 105,000 won.
Following the second mission of rescuing eggs, the third mission was to identify the best employee. The members had to sit in order with their eyes blindfolded and avoid water balloons. The first place Kwon Eun-bi team earned 5 million won, followed by the final salary distribution time.
The Song Ji-hyo team, which shared the salary equally with the employees from the start, earned about 5.41 million won. Ji Yea-eun playfully said, "Unnie, you're really a good person," while Kwon Eun-bi embezzled and earned 24.48 million won alone, and Haha earned 4.71 million won.
It airs on Sundays at 6:15 PM on SBS.
