On 'Running Man,' Song Ji-hyo once again called Kim Jong-kook 'honey,' causing a stir on set.
In the episode aired on April 4, the members' race unfolded in the Pocheon area.
On that day, Song Ji-hyo was absent from the opening, raising everyone's curiosity. According to the production team, Song Ji-hyo had driven to the set without her manager. She explained, 'It's my first time in Pocheon,' noting it was her first time on this route and that she had taken a wrong turn, causing a delay. The members laughed, saying, 'Your determination to drive alone here is amazing.'
After arriving at the site a while later, Song Ji-hyo gasped, 'It's so hard to climb up here,' and during a subsequent mission while crossing a shaky bridge, when Kim Jong-kook joked around, she shouted, 'Honey, stop!' eliciting laughter. The sudden 'honey' remark surprised the members, and Kim Jong-kook smiled awkwardly.
In fact, Song Ji-hyo's 'nickname affection' was not just this time. During the same broadcast, she referred to Daniel as 'Nieel,' Ji Ye-eun as 'Yeni,' and Kim Jong-kook as 'honey,' showcasing her characteristic love for nicknames. Hearing this, the members laughed, asking, 'Is this a language only you know?' and 'Now this is your own world.'
Netizens are also reacting with comments like, 'Did Song Ji-hyo call him honey again?' 'What will Kim Jong-kook call her?' and 'The chemistry between them is really good.'
