Actress and ‘Running Man‘ cast member Song Ji Hyo expressed her feelings on what it means to be the only female member in a popular variety program.

“I had an idea about it beforehand, but when I started ‘Running Man’ I really found out that I was shy around men,” she confessed.

Although she seems to be the perfect fit for ‘Running Man’, she claimed that that wasn’t always the case. “I think people think that because by now, they’re used to be being on the show,” she said. “When I first came on the program, I still get shivers thinking about myself.”

Being the single female member had its benefits at first, she recollected. “Since I was the only female, and an actress, I think I got treated very well at first. Now? You probably can see for yourself, but now…” she trailed off, laughing.

“It took me one year to speak casually with Kim Jong Kook oppa,” she confessed. “It was hard for me to call him ‘oppa’ as well. The same thing goes towards HaHa and Gary. I used to always call them ‘sunbaenim’. 1 year later, somehow we’d become family. So even when we say mean things towards each other, we can brush it off lightly. I think that makes things more fun.”

After she became a fixed member, she received many questions about why she would want to do a variety show. “It’s always somewhat awkward. Maybe it’s just my train of thought, but I wonder why people make a difference between those who do variety and those who do acting,” she revealed. “Variety can also be a kind of work of art. Perhaps like a weekly drama? It’s a little different, but I wish people would not make too much out of it. I’ll also work hard to show a different side of myself. Because there’s no reason to keep it tucked away.”

Queen. I was so weirded out watching Frozen Flower after seeing her being all shy in the early RM days.

she looks so pretty in the picture

i love her in running man, she may be the only female cast member but she is just as good, if not better, as the male members.

I love that picture of her.

Was she well known prior to RM? She wasn't in many dramas/movies so I'd always thought they'd get someone more high profile. But I'm happy they chose her and I don't ever want her to leave RM :~:

season one is gold. don't bother with the second. a family friend casually said "are you having fun yet?" to my sister and me at thanksgiving and we could barely hold in our lols.

eta: i c that mural in the background... the most recent episodes have been fantastic. joe biden <3

i'll stan the cast forever (and i loved Veronica Mars) but i had the hardest time finishing the season :/ i think the style of humor shifted a bit between seasons?

yeah I loved both. and IMO the 2nd was more interesting like that episode with martin starr's character (forgot his name now -_-) finally loosening up a bit and how his script which was so embarrassingly pretentious and devoid of humanity and terribly boring was actually a decent dare i say a decent even emotionally affecting work by the end. and how he seems like he had some kind of epiphany during that time. imo it was just amazing. they could have left things static but they actually had a character learn and grow. (plus it was a very cutting commentary on hard science fiction genre and its small but devoted group of stans.) it was imo a step up from the cynical sense of hopelessness in the previous season. and like i also appreciated that it ended on a hopeful note as well. I'm rly sad it got cancelled. I hope they get their movie one day but I'm not holding my breath.

She hasn't done a lot of movies or dramas, but she's managed to pick roles and projects that the public hasn't forgotten. She did "Frozen Flower" and "Princess Hours" after all. Plus she was an Inkigayo MC for quite a while. She has been definitely been popular to a pretty large demographic, but not too popular that she'd eclipse any potential guests in "Running Man."

Frozen Flower.
A f---cked up and brilliant movie with good actors and juicy you know what.
All the scenes were so realistic that my mind was scarred from watching it...

She was great in AFF, so were all the other actors.

I heard Jackal was very very bad, lol.

It was critically disclaimed (?). Haha. Still I'm curious about the movie.

I hope her next movie does better though. Her next project is with Oldboy's Choi Minsik.

ooh i didn't know that. i hope she picks more challenging roles in the future. her filmo is full of b-movies that are too good for her.

From: [identity profile] marisu-dono.livejournal.com
Eh honestly, Jackal aside, a lot of her roles are challenging in the sense that it takes balls to act characters people will dislike. The fact that a lot of people actually didn't like her because of the character she played in Goong, well, she pulled that off well.

i liked her in Goong too but i don't know much about her dramas tbh. more of a film person here. it does seem like she doesn't pick the same roles over and over again for her dramas though, which is good to see.

I thought she was kind of a random choice, but I can't think of anyone who'd be better.

Well except for Park Shin Hye, she did really good on the last ep I watched.

I think in some previous interviews it was mentioned that she has worked together with some RM PDs previously while doing Inkigayo (which she hosted with Heechul). Also I think there was some buzz how she did pretty good at variety with her single appearance on RM.

I wish Lee Seunggi was a regular cast or recurring cast like yonghwa, his appeareance make me miss him on 2D1N. He mix so well with the other cast and being on 2D1N has tainted him to having no shame to survive and bickering with the PD.

the annoying thing is that since they've officially stopped promoting the Monday Couple, they've started to erase her presence little by little on screen. If there is one member that is going to leave when the show's starting to lose its popularity, it's her first.

I haven't been keeping up to date with Running Man episodes lately, this reminds me to get watching them again :) Jihyo has always been one of my favourite people on the show. I love her personality and how she's willing to really go for it whatever they're doing! Beautiful inside and out!

I fell in love with ji hyo on Running Man she is freaking adorable on there. Then I watched Frozen Flower,because I felt so bad for how much her character suffered, I fell in love her more. Her overall beauty is so natural and her character doesn't even seem forced/ mean spirited. She is thee overall bomb.
