Ji Ye-eun showed off her skills as the girlfriend of a professional choreographer.

On the June 28 episode of SBS's 'Running Man,' Hwang Kwang-hee and Lee Se-hee appeared as guests.

During the episode, Lee Se-hee drew attention by revealing that she was part of a dance club and had prepared a performance for Cortis's 'Red Red.' However, her actual dance skills were far from what one would expect from a former dance club member, as her limbs seemed to move independently.

In response, Lee Se-hee explained, "I only knew how to dance to 'Tell Me'." Hearing this, Haha asked, "Isn't that from the UCC era?" and Ji Ye-eun caught everyone's attention by revealing that she was indeed a star from the UCC era.

Ji Ye-eun then performed the 'Tell Me' dance alongside Lee Se-hee. Ji Ye-eun gradually took over the center position and showed off her presence, leading Yoo Jae-suk to laugh and remark, "If the two of them were in a girl group, they would have fought like crazy."

Meanwhile, Kwang-hee watched them with an envious look. When the members asked why he wasn't joining in, Kwang-hee raised his voice, saying, "Ji Ye-eun has no consideration for the guests."

Ji Ye-eun replied with a fierce look, "What can I do if I'm good at dancing? I don't want to lose. I'm sorry, but I don't want to lose when it comes to dancing," which drew laughter. She eventually even overpowered Kwang-hee with her spirit during their dance battle.

Haha exclaimed, "She really is Vata's girlfriend." To this, Ji Ye-eun said, "Since I am Vata's girlfriend," and performed the choreography for 'Like Jeni,' which was created by her boyfriend, Vata.
