Korean singer Kim Jong-kook was seen calling actress Song Ji-hyo "wifey" on the latest episode of 'Running Man'.
On February 24 episode of SBS' television show 'Running Man', Kim Jong-kook showed the best kind of 'aegyo' to Song Ji-hyo.
In this episode, each member of 'Running Man' was asked to make in total of 1 million won (approximately 890 dollars) by playing the Pop-up Pirate game.
Lee Kwang Soo, Yu Jae Seok, and Jeon So Min succeeded first, then left the room.
It was Song Ji-hyo's turn next, and her luck allowed her to acquire 300,000 won (approximately 270 dollars) more than she needed.
As HAHA, Yang Se Chan, and Kim Jong-kook were all desperate for money, HAHA and Yang Se Chan started begging her.
Kim Jong-kook was sitting in the corner watching them at that time, but suddenly got up and walked towards Song Ji-hyo, looking determined.
Kim Jong-kook stuck out his hand with a smile, then sweetly called Song Ji-hyo, "Wifey!"
Since Kim Jong-kook has never really been fond of 'Running Man' members pushing 'romance' between him and Song Ji-hyo, the three members burst out laughing, seeing him engaging in it out of desperation.
After a few moments of laughing, Song Ji-hyo responded, "Alright. This 300,000 won is all yours, honey." and handed the money to Kim Jong-kook.
Upon watching this scene, fans commented, "Wifey? Honey? Did I really just hear them say that to each other?", "Just start dating in real life already! Please!", "Their romance never ends! I think you two would make a great real-life couple.", and so on.
Meanwhile, 'Running Man' airs every Sunday at 5PM KST.
