Actress Song Ji-hyo shared about struggles with her recently-launched underwear business on "Running Man."
On February 9 episode of SBS' television show "Running Man," the cast took part in a race where they had to visit various locations in Seoul to complete errands assigned by their masters while dressed as nobi—servants from Korea's Joseon Dynasty.
At the start of the episode, the members arrived at the opening location dressed as servants, following the production team's instructions.
But rather than looking like nobi, they appeared more like beggars. Seeing Ji Ye-eun fully committed to her costume, laughing almost deliriously, Yu Jae Seok could not resist teasing her: "You look so beautiful today. I should set you up with one of my younger friends right away!"
During the opening, as the members chatted about what they have been up to, Yu Jae Seok brought up Song Ji-hyo's business struggles.
He said, "You guys all know Ji-hyo has started a business, right? But she's been having a tough time. She only gets one or two orders a day."
He added, "She keeps saying it's fine because she's in it for the long run, but every time I see her, she just sighs and goes, 'Oppa…' looking so worried and frustrated."
The other members offered words of encouragement, saying, "That's how it is in the beginning," and "You have to push through."
Song Ji-hyo, determined to stay positive, responded, "Thank you. I'll keep working hard!"
Last year, Song Ji-hyo launched a perfume and underwear business.
At that time, she shared, "I've been working on this for about eight years. I've spent that time going to Dongdaemun, checking out fabrics, feeling the materials myself—I've been hands-on every step of the way. It's an underwear brand made for women."
