People are looking forward to “Kiss & Cry” youngsters Cha Jun-hwan and Jin Ji-hee’s reunion after 11 years.
The March 13th (Sunday) broadcast of SBS’s “Running Man” will feature a “team leaders’ race” with the participation of figure skater Cha Jun-hwan and actress Jin Ji-hee.
11 years ago, Cha Jun-hwan and Jin Ji-hee met and worked together as partners on the figure skating survival program “Kiss & Cry”. The reason why the two reunited was that Cha Jun-hwan recently participated in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and achieved good results. His past appearance became a topic of discussion. At that time, a video of Cha Jun-hwan and Jin Ji-hee‘s childhood received keen attention on YouTube, and there were endless comments wishing for the reunion of the two who are now adults. In response, “Running Man” pushed for their meeting and the reunion after 11 years was accomplished.
“Running Man” planned a “team leaders’ race” where two people, who had worked together as a team in the past, were divided into team leaders to form a confrontational structure in order to see a new side of the two. In response, netizens raised high expectations for the race, saying, “I’ll definitely watch Romeo and Juliet’s meeting” and “‘Running Man’ makes this happen.”
Jeon So-min, the representative of “over-immersion”, exclaimed, “The meeting between the two is like a drama. I’m very excited.” However, rather than a dramatic reunion, Cha Jun-hwan and Jin Ji-hee greeted each other, “Hello, how old are you?” The chemistry of “Samba Couple” in the past disappeared and they gave off an awkward atmosphere, making everyone burst into laughter.
The reunion of the two can be seen on “Running Man”, which is scheduled to air at 5 PM on March 13th (Sunday).
