JiU secured plenty of airtime with her witty variety skills.

On the SBS variety show "Running Man" aired on the 9th, Hong Jin-ho and JiU appeared as guests.

During the broadcast, JiU expressed her long-held dream of appearing on "Running Man." She shared her thoughts, saying, "My mom and dad told me they really wanted me to go on 'Running Man,' so I'm so happy to actually be here."

In response, Yu Jae-seok empathized with her parents' feelings, saying, "Every media platform has its own influence and charm, but parents especially love it when you appear on terrestrial television."

Embarking on the Jongno Marble race alongside the "Running Man" cast, JiU could not hide her excitement, exclaiming, "I love this so much." When Yang Sechan asked how she felt, she warmed everyone's hearts by replying, "I've achieved my dream."

Watching this, HAHA gave her a tip: "JiU, don't stay there. Go stand next to senior Yu Jae-seok. Being next to senior Yu Jae-seok gets you the most airtime."

Hearing this, JiU immediately ran over to Yu Jae-seok and joked, "Senior, why? Did you call me?" Looking bewildered, Yu Jae-seok responded, "Me? When?"

JiU playfully doubled down, saying, "You called me." To this, Yu Jae-seok replied, "I didn't call Ms. JiU at all."

JiU then quipped, "Thank you so much. For giving me so much great advice. Oh, I think I'm about to cry," prompting Yu Jae-seok to vehemently deny it by saying, "I haven't given a single ounce of good advice," which brought laughter to everyone on set.
