National figure skater Cha Joon Hwan and actress Jin Ji Hee will be reuniting for the first time in eleven years on 'Running Man.'
According to Star News on February 25, Cha Joon Hwan and Jin Ji Hee are scheduled to appear as special guests in the popular SBS entertainment program, 'Running Man' that will be recorded on February 28.
Earlier, Cha Joon Hwan and Jin Ji Hee took part in the SBS entertainment program 'Kim Yuna's Kiss & Cry,' which was a variety show in which celebrities and skaters pair up to compete. The show aired from May to August of 2011. During the show, the two garnered much attention as they were often seen bickering with each other at a young age. Cha Joon Hwan, who was only 11 at the time was seen rebuking Jin Ji Hee, who is two years older than him, telling her, "You need to practice 20 times in the ice rink."
After hearing the news that the two will be appearing on 'Running Man' and reuniting, netizens were ecstatic and commented, "Omg, when is the broadcast date for this episode?" "This is crazy, I can't wait," "I haven't seen 'Running Man' in a while but I will definitely watch this," "SBS is good that they cast these two," and "I really can't wait to see them together."
Meanwhile, this special 'Running Man' episode will be airing sometime in March.
God, I remember Yuna's Kiss and Cry show! That show was what initially got me in to Kpop in the first place. I was a huge fan of Kim Yuna so I watched the show, and through it, I learned of F(X) through Krystal, TVXQ through Yunho, IU, and Son Dambi. And Cha Junhwan was so adorable at the time. The show said something along the lines of "Watch out, he'll be the future of Korea figure skating" (or something like He'll surprise us one day) but they were right, this boy is now Korea's top figure skater. Can't wait to see the 2 reunite.
