In the 13th episode of SBS’s “Running Man,” Kim Jong-kook shared that he had never visited Sky Park, only the gym. Yoo Jae-suk humorously replied, “Jong-kook has nowhere he has been; he doesn’t go outside,” suggesting, “You should go there on a date…” which elicited laughter from the group.
He then lightheartedly proposed, “Should I introduce you to someone? How about a special episode for single people in their 50s, featuring celebrities?”
Upon their arrival at Sky Park, Yoo Jae-suk poked fun at Kim Jong-kook’s incessant talking, stating, “You look like a retired Superman; I’m just taking on the role of nagging for the other members.” His comment highlighted his frustration with Kim’s chatter during their stroll, which resembled a typical bickering of a middle-aged couple.
As Kim Jong-kook suddenly shouted, “Pair! Pair!” and assumed the role of a “pair villain,” Yoo Jae-suk expressed his agitation, saying, “I’m getting stressed; if you keep urging me like this, I’ll talk.” He unexpectedly mentioned “Eun-hye,” which caught Kim off guard and led to a glare followed by laughter. A curious silence enveloped the two, adding to the suspense.
Previously, during her appearance on the show “Knowing Brothers” on July 17, Yoon Eun-hye was questioned by the MCs about her relationship with Kim Jong-kook.
She didn’t shy away from the inquiry but refrained from providing a direct answer. Yoon shared that everyone, including her parents, was eager to know if she was dating Kim Jong-kook and that her parents even encouraged them to pursue a relationship.
Nineteen years ago, Kim Jong-kook and Yoon Eun-hye were teamed up on the show X-Man. When the opposing team asked if he disliked Yoon, he bashfully covered her ears to shield her feelings while answering, “Of course.”
This gesture became a cherished memory for the couple and has fueled fans’ speculation about their relationship. Despite the years that have passed, the question of whether they ever dated remains unanswered, leaving netizens curious.
