[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Actress Song Ji-hyo spoke about her childhood popularity.

On the 29th episode of SBS's 'Running Man,' the regular members and guests reminisced about their school days.

In particular, guest Lee Do-hyun said, "Can I brag a little?" and added, "When I was in elementary school, on Valentine's Day, my mother would come and bring gifts with me. That was when I was in second grade." He also mentioned that during his high school days playing basketball, he received a "poraki" (love note).

Beside him, Zico explained, "I wasn't usually that popular, but when we had retreats or recreational activities and I was taken on stage, I became more popular the next day."

Running Man regular member Kim Jong-kook confessed, "I was liked by older girls. The older sisters at the hair salon I went to in high school, women aged 20 or 21, liked me when I was in high school."

Listening to the conversation, Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Wasn't Ji-hyo popular?" to which Song Ji-hyo replied, "Actually, I never went to group blind dates or blind dates, so I don't really know about that."

HaHa, surprised by her unexpected answer, said, "Usually, popular kids don't realize they're popular," causing laughter. Song Ji-hyo recalled her past, saying, "I really kept to myself. I cried while taking my middle school graduation photo."

Regular members Yoo Jae-suk and Jeon So-min empathized with each other's similar situations. Jeon So-min said, "My mother used to make chocolates with me at home to give to boys. Usually, the boys I liked liked my best friend."

Hearing Jeon So-min's words, Yoo Jae-suk agreed, saying, "That happened to me too. The atmosphere was great, but my friends around me always got connected."
