Ahn Eun-jin & Ji Ye-eun Spark Laughter on 'Running Man' with Surprising Popularity Poll for Yang Se-chan

Actress Ahn Eun-jin and comedian Ji Ye-eun brought abundant laughter to viewers on the latest episode of SBS's 'Running Man' by forming an unexpected 'popularity line' centered around comedian Yang Se-chan.

During the broadcast on the 23rd, Ahn Eun-jin playfully tested the waters with her close friend Ji Ye-eun regarding actor Kim Mu-joon, asking, "What do you think of our Mu-joon?" However, Ji Ye-eun promptly rejected the idea, stating, "I'm not really into younger guys…". Yoo Jae-suk and Kim Jong-kook seized the moment, teasing, "He must have thought of you a lot while he was sick," and "You could totally change your mind while talking to Se-chan." Ji Ye-eun humorously revealed, "It's so annoying, he keeps calling. Even if I leave his calls on read, he calls again," eliciting peals of laughter.

Ahn Eun-jin praised Yang Se-chan, saying, "I like men who don't make me feel lonely," and the other members amplified the mood, adding, "Once you fall for Se-chan, there's no turning back. It was the same with old idols."

In a surprising turn of events during the 'Ideal Type Selection' segment, all three participants – Ahn Eun-jin, Ji Ye-eun, and Song Ji-hyo – chose Yang Se-chan. Ahn Eun-jin cited his "wit and cute looks" as her reasons, also reminiscing about her past ideal type, actor Daniel Choi, humorously noting, "He seemed smart in 'High Kick', but in reality, he spilled milk," which caused more laughter. Ji Ye-eun decisively stated, "Daniel Choi isn't fun. Yang Se-chan is much quicker-witted and way more entertaining." Song Ji-hyo, despite her initial preference against younger men, ultimately cast her vote for Yang Se-chan, saying, "I'm not really into younger guys, but still, Yang Se-chan."

Yang Se-chan, having received the final choices, selected Ji Ye-eun, jokingly remarking, "If rumors of dating Ahn Eun-jin pop up, she'll take all the hate. If I date Ye-eun, it'll just be fun. I'll say I fell for her in 3 seconds," which once again sent the studio into fits of laughter.

Yang Se-chan was undeniably the 'Real Popular Guy' of the day, and the cast members continuously hyped up the atmosphere with chants like, "Let's go, Se-chan and Ye-eun couple!" and "Are we witnessing the birth of a new celebrity couple?", delivering both warmth and amusement.

Netizens commented, 'Yang Se-chan is really popular these days,' 'It's hilarious that both Ahn Eun-jin and Ji Ye-eun like Yang Se-chan lol,' and 'I hope the Se-chan and Ye-eun couple happens soon.'
