Although the episode was yet to be aired, but rumours about the SpartAce couple engagement have already spread in media and among fans of Running Man. Somehow, an insider from the variety show has leaked a 3 minutes video that has been edited to capture the moment where Jong Kook proposed to Ji Hyo and then skipped to the part where she answered 'of course' to his proposal. Because of that, Ji Hyo was called by her agency to clarify the story and they have decided to hold a press conference together with Jong Kook.

"Mwoya? I have to admit about our relationship? Wae geu rae?!" the actress didn't agree to the agency's recommendation. Her manager tried to convince her, "This is a good opportunity to increase the programme rating.. we should leverage it to our advantage." "Ahneeoh!

"It's not that I've anything against Jong Kook oppa, but I don't want to confuse our fans with an on-screen relationship," Ji Hyo just wouldn't change her mind.

Hearing her answer made her manager became curious, "Is that the actual reason or is it because you already have someone?". Ji Hyo was trapped with the question and decided to ignore it. Her manager kept on guessing, "Now I remember.. you were quite close with Joong Ki since the Running Man incident, am I right? He did ask me a lot about you.. but
