Song Ji Hyo's sought-after "beautiful sister" across Asia is now asked to leave Running Man, is her time up?

As one of the companion pink shades from the early days of Running Man Korea, Song Ji Hyo who was once sought after everywhere was suddenly "stoned" by the audience, what is the reason?

According to Koreaboo on September 4, Song Ji Hyo recently appeared on a talk show featuring close artists from Running Man: Yoo Jae Suk, Ji Suk Jin, and HaHa. The group discussed how the 42-year-old actress was criticized by many viewers for being lazy and unenthusiastic about participating in the hit TV show and asked her to leave the show.

Viewer complaints regarding the 8X star's attitude surfaced in June, after an episode of Running Man aired and cuts of the show went viral.

Speaking of this, "National MC" Yoo Jae Suk said that Song Ji Hyo became quieter than what fans had seen her show during her years with Running Man. When she read articles about Ji Hyo becoming increasingly disappointing on the show, Yoo Jae Suk immediately contacted the junior.

The 51-year-old artist recalled, "At that time, I called Song Ji Hyo and asked, 'Have you read the newspaper? If not, don't read, don't search for anything.' I called her because she was a weak child. At first, I thought she was just acting like she was okay but she hadn't really read the news." Yoo Jae Suk advised her close juniors that instead of burying her head in negative posts or lengthy explanations, she should just do her best in later episodes.

However, despite the advice from her seniors, Song Ji Hyo is still curious to read articles and comments related to her. "The amount of information I searched for about myself on the internet at that time was more than last year combined," she revealed. Yoo Jae Suk said that Song Ji Hyo was upset about this and regretted it, "I should have put in more effort." The beauty then called senior Ji Suk Jin, saying that she would try her best in future episodes.

HaHa also acknowledged that Song Ji Hyo seemed to be more motivated after the criticism. Meanwhile, comedian Ji Suk Jin said that the incident was a turning point for the Intruder actress. The beauty admitted that it was difficult and she was grateful to Yoo Jae Suk and Ji Suk Jin for supporting her during that time.

Song Ji Hyo was born in 1981, she entered the entertainment industry in the early 2000s as an actress and made her mark through many films: Being the Empress, Song of the Whore, The Legend of Jumong, The Bad Couple, The Intruder... In particular, she is best known to Asian audiences as a permanent member of the hit variety show Running Man from 2010 to the present.

From an early age, Song Ji Hyo possessed a naturally beautiful beauty but had no intention of becoming an artist like many others. But luck led her to work part-time at a coffee shop through the recommendation of a senior at school. There, Ji Hyo was noticed and invited by a "star hunter".

At first, the actress was also somewhat hesitant but then felt that she could take responsibility for her decisions, so she accepted to give it a try. He then became Ji-hyo's manager and helped her become a photo model, then stepped into TV commercials.

From villains to holy lovers, even those that required dance scenes, she didn't refuse. Therefore, besides the love of the audience at the present time, Song Ji Hyo's career from the early days has also met many eyeballs from the public.

In Running Man, the beauty delighted the audience with interesting "chemistry" with Gary or Kim Jong Kook, once scored points for her humor, rolled hard to complete difficult tasks and was called the "ace" of the show. The 8X actress has many times come to Vietnam to film and attend events.
