On December 25, a video titled “Christmas Party ft. Kim Jong Kook, Yang Se Chan, Ji Ye Eun” was uploaded to Song Ji Hyo’s YouTube channel. During the casual gathering, familiar Running Man cast members shared lighthearted yet revealing conversations.
Kim Jong Kook remarked, “We’ve been doing Running Man for 16 years now, so we know almost everything about each other,” before expressing disappointment that Song Ji Hyo had only recently revealed she had dated someone for eight years. Yang Se Chan added that she had been in that relationship since his early days on the show, prompting Kim Jong Kook to jokingly complain that she shared plenty about others but kept her own personal life private.
Song Ji Hyo calmly explained, “It’s not that I was hiding it—I just didn’t talk about it.”
The conversation then turned to how she usually spends Christmas with a partner. Song Ji Hyo surprised everyone by admitting, “Honestly, I usually can’t celebrate it properly. Around Christmas, I’m always busy with events or filming. That’s the busiest time for people in our line of work.” She went on to reveal that she has never visited a romantic or atmospheric place with her ex-boyfriend.
Kim Jong Kook reacted in disbelief, saying, “Most guys panic when special occasions come up… he must’ve felt really comfortable.” Yang Se Chan added with laughter that Song Ji Hyo dislikes wine, whiskey, fancy steaks, or upscale dining, joking, “Give her soju and sundae soup, and she’s happy. She’s the ultimate cost-performance queen.”
Despite having been in an eight-year relationship, Song Ji Hyo’s comments painted a picture of a down-to-earth, no-frills romance shaped largely by her demanding career. Her honest remarks resonated with viewers, offering a rare glimpse into the private life of one of Korea’s most beloved actresses.
