Ji Ye-eun (지예은), a member of the SBS variety show 'Running Man', is set to marry dancer VATA (바타) in December. She recently appeared on 'Running Man', openly sharing intimate details of their relationship, including how they handle arguments. Fellow cast member HAHA (하하) unexpectedly revealed that VATA's logical approach makes it difficult for Ji Ye-eun to counter him, leading to her immediate and spirited rebuttal, which brought laughter to the set.
During the October 25 broadcast of SBS's 'Running Man', Ji Ye-eun discussed her courtship with her fiancé, VATA. She claimed their relationship had been kept low-key, but Song Ji-hyo (송지효) immediately retorted, "What do you mean 'secret' romance? You told everyone!" Yang Se-chan (양세찬) chimed in, revealing that even people at their church knew they were dating.
Yoo Jae-suk (유재석) laughed, saying that Ji Ye-eun simply couldn't hide her affection. She readily agreed, quipping, "Don't you know? Love and sneezes are two things you just can't hold back!" Her remark sent the set into fits of laughter.
Ji Ye-eun then boasted, "Where can you find a girl like me? So innocent and pure." However, the other cast members immediately teased her, saying there were plenty of such women around, with one even jokingly claiming to have seen 24 of them, completely ignoring her self-praise.
Undeterred by their teasing, Ji Ye-eun emphasized her strengths, citing her cute appearance and her dimples. However, Ji Suk-jin (지석진) poured cold water on her enthusiasm, stating that such features might appeal to some but not others. Ji Ye-eun immediately retorted with indignation, "What do you mean 'like or dislike'? Everyone, young and old, likes me! Even grandpas and grandmas love me; everyone says I'm cute when they see me from afar!" Her confident demeanor once again sparked widespread laughter.
Subsequently, Song Ji-hyo curiously asked if she and VATA had ever argued, and what their respective styles were during disagreements. Ji Ye-eun revealed that she tends to be quiet, becoming even more silent during arguments.
Upon hearing this, HAHA suddenly mentioned that VATA graduated from a science and engineering program at Hongik University (홍익대학교), then revealed, "I heard VATA is very studious. If he starts explaining things to you logically, point by point, you'll find it hard to counter him. So, he just listens to you instead."
Ji Ye-eun immediately retorted indignantly, "What do you know? My fiancé would never say such a thing!" However, HAHA continued to press, stating that VATA himself had told him these things, emphasizing, "He talks a lot when he's with other guys!" This made Ji Ye-eun the focus of teasing, creating a lively atmosphere on set.
Ji Ye-eun and VATA, both born in 1994, are set to hold their wedding on December 12 this year. The couple went public with their relationship in April and announced their engagement in September, officially preparing to become husband and wife.
