As news spreads that Tiffany is in a serious relationship with Byun Yo-han with marriage in mind, attention has also turned to fellow Girls’ Generation member and actress Sooyoung, who has been dating actor Jung Kyung Ho since 2012. After eight years, Sooyoung is set to make a surprise appearance on SBS’s popular variety show Running Man, where she last appeared as a guest in 2018.
According to the upcoming episode airing on January 4, Running Man will feature a special race centered around celebrities born in the Year of the Horse. Titled the “Follow the Horse, Conquer Bingo” race, the members must complete horse-related missions to fill as many bingo squares as possible. As the cast struggles with a bingo board filled entirely with horse-themed clues nearly reaching a state of visual overload Sooyoung suddenly appears in the heart of Gangnam, instantly lifting the mood. Her unexpected entrance as a Girls’ Generation member and established actress takes everyone by surprise.
The moment becomes even more memorable when Ji Ye-eun, known as a devoted Girls’ Generation fan who once kept large posters of the group at home, can’t hide her shyness upon seeing Sooyoung in person. Overcome with excitement, Ji Ye-eun even performs a special tribute dance just for Sooyoung, proudly showing off her moves and earning praise for truly living out her “successful fan” moment.
The cheerful atmosphere continues as the cast is handed another challenge an MZ-generation rhythm game prepared by the production team. The rules are simple: shout out the words on illustrated cards in perfect timing. However, the fast-paced rhythm proves harder than expected, quickly tying tongues in knots. While the older AZ-generation members are always eager to try trendy MZ games, their struggles only add to the laughter, turning the set into a sea of giggles.
Whether the famously “meme-prone” Running Man cast can successfully complete the rhythm challenge and manage to conquer even a single bingo square will be revealed in the “Follow the Horse, Conquer Bingo” race, airing at 6:10 p.m. on Running Man.
