Song Ji Hyo and Lee Kwang Soo Get Tangled in a Biting Situation on “Running Man”

The competitiveness of Song Ji Hyo and Lee Kwang Soo were seen once again on the 208th episode of “Running Man” aired on August 10.

In the “2014 Hallyu Star Special Race” episode wherein miss A’s Suzy was a guest, the cast were divided in two teams– the “Hallyu Rabbit” team with “Hallyu Goddess” Suzy and the “Hallyu Giraffe” team with “Asia’s Prince” Lee Kwang Soo. The two teams were on their third mission wherein they had to find the boxes with the letter “R” on it and have their hand prints done.

 Kim Jong Kook was able to snatch the first box while Gary got the second box from Lee Kwang Soo as well and the “Asia’s Prince” commented, ”I think I’ve used up all my luck this year.” However, Lee Kwang Soo managed to find the third box and he was satisfied with himself for a while. 

His lucky streak didn’t last long because while protecting the third box, Song Ji Hyo found him hiding the box behind him.

Lee Kwang Soo screamed Yoo Jae Suk’s name to ask for help but the MC pretended to not hear him and went on running, leaving the model-actor to deal with Song Ji Hyo.

Song Ji Hyo then tried her best to snatch the box from “Kwang Star” but the model-actor went on to bite her shoulders so the actress would give up her pursuit. Song Ji Hyo didn’t hold back and went for the winning move and bit Lee Kwang Soo as well, making Lee Kwang Soo let go of the box. Song Ji Hyo then ran away with the box and Lee Kwang Soo went on to find Yoo Jae Suk.

On the August 10 broadcast of “1 Night, 2 Days,” the very first part of the show’s ‘Summer Camp’ special was aired.

During this particular episode, Cha Tae Hyun made his way to his own home, in order to accomplish an ice delivery mission, together with fellow cast member and singer, Jung Joon Young.

Soo Jin, who is just eight months old, stole the viewers’ hearts with her big, round eyes and adorable looks that resemble dad Cha Tae Hyun.

“Inkigayo” Changes Rules for “19-rated” Videos, HyunA First to be Affected?

The producers of SBS music show “Inkigayo” have announced that songs whose music videos are rated suitable only for viewers aged 19 years old and over will no longer be eligible to gain chart points based on video views.

The chart compilers announced that hits through YouTube clicks would only be counted in its SNS rankings if a song’s music videos were rated at least rated suitable for viewers aged 15 years old and over. It is thought that the justification for this decision is connected with the fact that that “Inkigayo” itself is rated suitable for viewers aged 15 years old and over.

The new ruling will almost certainly have an immediate impact on artists such as 4Minute star HyunA. The singer’s latest solo video, “Red,” has been given a “19” rating, and has over six million YouTube hits so far, none of which will be counted by “Inkigayo” chart compilers under the new ruling.
