On the 19th, SBS's 'Running Man' released a preview for episode 800. In the preview, Ji Ye-eun admitted her romance with Bata in front of the 'Running Man' members.

That day, Yoo Jae-suk mentioned the romance between Ji Ye-eun and Bata, saying, "It's a big event for the 800th episode. Ye-eun has been rumored to be dating." In response, Yang Se-chan, who had been shown in a "business flirtation" dynamic with Ji Ye-eun on 'Running Man', reacted by falling backward, saying, "What are you talking about?"

Ji Ye-eun apologized, saying, "Oppa, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," but could not hide her laughter. She then created a cheerful atmosphere by joking, "The brave get the beauty."

In a mission that followed, Ji Ye-eun made a heart-shaped face, and Ji Seok-jin said, "Anyone can see it's Ye-eun. Her face has turned into a heart because she's in love." Ji Ye-eun responded with a shy smile.

Seeing this, Yoo Jae-suk pointed at the face Yang Se-chan had made and teased him by saying, "Se-chan with his lips sticking out because of Ye-eun's dating rumor," drawing laughter.

In addition, while riding in a car with Ji Ye-eun, Yang Se-chan also drew attention by making a bitter expression and saying, "Must be nice."

Not only that, Ji Ye-eun and the members also entertained viewers further by dancing to Zico's "New Thing", for which Bata created the choreography.

Meanwhile, Ji Ye-eun admitted on the 13th that she was dating choreographer Bata. The two, both born in 1994 and the same age, were reportedly church friends before developing into lovers.

Ji Ye-eun's agency said, "The two, who had been colleagues, are seeing each other with mutual good feelings. We ask for your warm support and encouragement."
