Ji Ye-eun Returns to 'Running Man' with Explosive Variety Skills, Flaunts 'ZERONATE' Smile
Actress Ji Ye-eun has returned to the small screen in good health, bringing laughter to viewers.
On the SBS variety show 'Running Man,' which aired on November 9th, Ji Ye-eun, who had temporarily suspended her activities due to a thyroid condition, showcased her active presence for the second consecutive week, delivering a delightful energy.
The episode, themed 'Collecting Makes the Best Autumn Literary Society,' saw Ji Ye-eun team up with Haha and Kim Byung-cheol for various missions. Notably, during a three-line poem (samhaengsi) challenge, she responded to the prompt 'Savior' with a witty line, "'Originally' like this?" delivered in a trendy MZ generation style, filling the set with laughter. Yoo Jae-suk praised her sense, saying, "Good, you're doing well."
Later, in a penalty mission involving a three-line poem for wasabi snack punishment, Ji Ye-eun used the word 'Galchi' (cutlassfish) to say, "'Want' to go with me? To the dentist," causing the cast members to burst into laughter. This was a subtle, charming way for her to show off the natural smile she recently achieved through the 'ZERONATE' procedure.
Although her team did not win the final prize, Ji Ye-eun's vibrant charm and overflowing energy significantly boosted the atmosphere of 'Running Man,' raising expectations for her future variety show appearances.
Netizens welcomed her return with comments like 'So happy you're back!', 'Ji Ye-eun's variety sense is truly the best,' and 'The ZERONATE dental joke was hilarious.'
