(Xportsnews reporter Jeong Yeon-ju) While Ji Ye-eun has acknowledged her relationship with Bata, pink-hued rumors have been revealed.

On the 26th, SBS's 'Running Man' aired its 800th episode with a race titled 'Infinite Accumulation Following Fate,' where a moment's choice decides whether it is 'UP' or 'DOWN,' and the members showed fearless dedication.

That day, Ji Ye-eun appeared on the broadcast and officially acknowledged the dating rumors with Bata. Afterwards, behind-the-scenes stories about Ji Ye-eun and Bata were also revealed.

Ji Seok-jin said, "I should have noticed. Bata, Ye-eun, and I practiced the album dance. After practice, we put her in a taxi and sent her off, but Ye-eun came back and went to meet Bata," explaining the behind-the-scenes story of their flirtation.

Ji Ye-eun said, "So I told senior to go first, but he kept saying to me, 'I can go later,' and wouldn't leave. He kept getting in the way of the date without realizing it," expressing how frustrated she was at the time.

She added, "Senior Ji Seok-jin really wouldn't leave. He kept saying, 'How can I send you away?' So I took a taxi, went around once, and came back."

Throughout the broadcast, Ji Ye-eun could not hide her excitement about being in love. When it was break time, Ji Ye-eun looked at her phone and said, "It's meal time."

In response, the members looked at the excited Ji Ye-eun affectionately, saying, "Ji Ye-eun keeps looking at her phone ever since the dating rumor. Is Bata contacting her or something?"

Former flirt partner Yang Se-chan was jealous and said, "So did Bata contact you at least? Did he say he loves you or something?" To that, Ji Ye-eun made a wriggling motion and laughed, saying, "Well, love is something you do every day."

Later, when the members asked what her pet name for Bata was, she blushed and revealed, "The pet name is 'jagi,'" painting the studio pink.

Haha also teased Ji Ye-eun, saying, "Call Bata. Let's use the boyfriend perk once during this time of choice," and Ji Ye-eun showed a coy side, saying, "I'm just feeling UP, so I'll choose UP."

Meanwhile, on the 13th, Xportsnews exclusively reported on the romance between Ji Ye-eun and dancer Bata, which was later officially acknowledged. It was also reported that Ji Ye-eun was filming 'Running Man' at the time.
