"Runningman" has to have dinner after every filming, so it is naturally impossible to be very luxurious. It is basically military pots, barbecue, soju, beer, etc. However, thanks to the easy-going mcs and the guests who dare not be unaccompanied, the atmosphere of the dinner is always unexpectedly good, and it has even become a brand in the circle.

In fact, after more than one artist went back to participate in the recording of "Runningman", he praised the private atmosphere of the program team on SNS and generally gave high praise to the subsequent dinner. For example, Jin Xuan'er once publicly expressed that the most comfortable thing after "Runningman" was the subsequent dinner. Drink as much as you want in that place. Don't worry about drinking more because you feel safe; don't worry about drinking less, because no one forces you to drink.

As for the reason, if you don’t ask, you will naturally count on Kim Jong-ming and Liu Zaishi.

First of all, with these two people here, no matter who comes to such an occasion, there is no need to worry too much. No matter how powerless the person is, he guarantees that no one dares to have a bad idea.

Secondly, the two of them are very interesting to drink. By the way, Yoo Jae-suk is quite self-disciplined and he can basically stop drinking. On the one hand, he does not destroy the atmosphere, and on the other hand, he can also ensure that there is always a sober helm present. Kim Jong-ming basically drinks something if he wants, puts it there if he doesn't want to drink, and sometimes even drinks by himself... With these two leaders, the people below naturally don't have the bad habits in Korean barbecues.

But then again, this is definitely not the reason why Song Ji-hyo poured Xiaomin, Gao Yala and Lin Xiuxiang into one breath tonight, nor is it that she ran to the next table after filling the three guests on the table, and then grabbed Ming PDF's collar and then poured the other party...

"What's wrong?" Haha picked up his cup speechlessly. If Yoo Jae-suk hadn't looked at it straight, Song Ji-hyo would have found him.

"Who knows, have you been heartbroken?" Chi Shizhen was also a little speechless.

"Do you want to persuade me?" Lee Kwang-soo couldn't help but push the gary who had been silent.

"Let her drink." Gary chuckled, looking at him indifferent. "Don't you know her alcohol tolerance?"

Everyone immediately stopped saying anything. After all, no one was worried about Song Ji Hyo's drinking too much, because not to mention her alcohol tolerance, the unyielding character of the other party's private man who is afraid of her has always made everyone respect her. Therefore, this reminder is more of a routine greeting, rather than really worrying that she will go wrong.

What's more, even Gary, the person who usually cares about the other party most, is unwilling to care about it, so the others are naturally unwilling to interfere.

In this way, the dinner ended at around 10 o'clock as usual, and then Yoo Jae-suk began to get up and arrange the vehicles and personnel to group them to ensure that everyone could be sent home safely. Kim Jong-ming, who had just drank a few drinks, had no intention of helping, and just simply got into the Land Rover Range Rover in Gary.

By the way, everyone is familiar with him who likes to drive by car... Most of the time, he will pick up Yoo Jae-suk's car because both of them live in Apgujeong and go along the way. But not all of them. For example, it is understandable that everyone can get rid of Gary's car now. After all, the cube company building is at the junction of Cheongtandong and Jamshak, so maybe he has something to do to return to the company!

However, the situation today seems a little different. Just when Kim Jong-ming and Gary, a co-pilot in the front, squinted their eyes and napped. While the assistant Choi in front of Gary was about to start the car, a somewhat unexpected person suddenly opened the car door and came in.

"Where is Sister Ji Hyo going?" Kim Jong-ming opened his eyes slightly and asked. "Let Assistant Choi think of a good route..."

"Just put me down at the intersection of Xidamen." Song Ji-hyo was drunk, but she was still awake. "I asked my assistant to follow behind the car."

"What do you want to tell me?" Kim Jong-ming understood a little after thinking about it. The shooting location of this episode is in Mapo, which is actually very close to the west gate that turns to Gaoyang. There is even a bit of a detour where the car is walking. So... the other party should have something to say.

"It's something." Song Ji Hyo in the back seat first turned his head and glanced at Jiang Gary who was napping beside him, then pulled the chair in the roof of the car and carefully passed over the other person's body, and also pointed his head to Kim Jong-ming. "I actually don't know whether I should tell you, because it's unnecessary to think about it carefully, but..."

"Then let's say it." Kim Jong-ming replied casually. "I'll do my best."

"You don't need to do it." Song Ji Hyo thought for a while, but let go of his hand and struggled to sit back in his seat in a normal position. "Actually, it's enough that you only need to know... I'm going to break up with President Bai Changshu."

The car suddenly became quiet. Apart from the gary who was snoring slightly, Kim Jong-ming and Gary's assistant were stunned for a moment.

After waiting for a few seconds, Jin Zhongming realized: "Is he really a broken heart?"

"Oh." Song Ji Hyo replied frankly. "That's right, from any perspective, it's a love break in a strict sense. But..."

"But what?" Jin Zhongming asked in confusion.

"But... in addition to the normal love breakup reaction, there is also a feeling of relief." Song Ji-hyo took his hair on his sideburns, which was wet with heat in the restaurant before.

"It's understandable." Jin Zhongming nodded casually.

After a while, seeing that the car was still unresponsive, he lowered his head and said, "I understand."

"That's good." Song Ji Hyo stopped saying anything, but lowered his head and closed his eyes, and the car instantly became quiet again.

By the way, it is really normal to take a nap after drinking.

However, the intersection of Xidaemen was too close. From here, Kim Jong-ming and Gary had to continue walking east, while Song Ji-hyo wanted to go west to go back to Gaoyang where she lived. So, she was immediately called out by Assistant Choi after not sleeping for two minutes.

Perhaps in order not to disturb the rest of the other two, Song Ji-hyo neither said hello nor said anything when she got off the car, but simply went down and transferred to his black nanny car that had been following the Land Rover.

Then, the two cars started walking back to each other.

"Let's find a place to stop in front." Land Rover just started on the road again. Before he could drive on the main road, Kim Jong-ming suddenly opened his eyes. "I was a little thirsty when I drank. Please help Assistant Choi go down and buy some hot coffee for me and Gary."

The assistant Cui, who was driving next to him, nodded sensitively, and immediately turned the car under a street light at the alley at the side of the road.

By the way, this assistant is not a fool. In fact, as Gary's assistant, he still has such a little understanding of some people and things in "Runningman".

Among them, what impressed him deeply about Kim Jong-ming was that this big man seemed to be very graceful about small things. He would eat cold lunch boxes by himself when he was late, and would find drinks by himself when he was thirsty... In short, the other party rarely caused trouble to anyone in such small details.

So, as soon as Song Ji Hyo got off the car, he asked for some hot coffee here, which seemed very deliberate.

In addition, let alone things like his boss’s thoughts about Song Ji Hyo, no one knows better than his assistant.

As a result, thinking of the few words Song Ji Hyo said when she got in the car before, how could this Assistant Choi not understand? Kim Jong-ming wanted to avoid it himself. He had something to say to his boss who was lying in the back seat pretending to be asleep.

"Why don't you sleep?" Sure enough, Assistant Choi got off the car, Jiang Gary immediately sat up with Kim Jong-ming's joke, not at all the deadly look she had when she slept before.

"I... Ji Hyo will not have any problems, right?" Gary ignored Kim Jong-ming's ridicule, but asked straight to the point.

"What's the problem?" Jin Zhongming asked indifferently.

"Of course it's that Bai Changshu... isn't he the big brother of the gang?" Gary asked seriously in the back seat of Kim Jong-ming. "Will Ji Hyo break up with him? Then... do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand." Maybe it was because of the effect of a little alcohol. Kim Jong-ming suddenly felt a headache, but he could only rub his eyes with his hands a little weak. "But then again, you are so confused that you are concerned about it, right? Otherwise, how could you ask such a childish question?"

"Where's childish?" Gary asked seriously. "This is a very serious question."

"Hey." Kim Jong-ming smiled a little, then put down his hand weakly. "Brother Gary, you underestimated Bai Changshu and also underestimated Sister Ji Hyo. More importantly, you didn't see clearly the relationship between the two and yourself..."

"I...I?" Gary interrupted the other party with a blank look on his face, and answered none of the so-called. "I drink less than you today."

"That would be even more telling." Kim Jong-ming turned around calmly. "Let's talk about Bai Changshu. What era is it? Which gang boss is playing that kind of trick? Not only Bai Changshu, I have seen the pan-Western sects. The one who is the best now is at a banquet with Ms. Park. She looks more serious than me. When she sees me, she bows affectionately and says hello to me, and then holds her hands and keeps telling me that he is a game industry and that he wants to whitewash his mind is more than anyone else! Do you know? In 2011, the prosecutor conducted internal statistics on all the gang members who have had a record of one case. In the past, the largest pan-Western sect in Korea, including Bai Changshu, only 12 people have a record of the case! Do you call this a gang?! Of course, if you say he is a gang, there is nothing to say, but they have already gone ashore collectively, okay? It's not as lol as you think!"

Gary let go of his hand, sat back on his seat in a daze, and then frowned slightly. To be honest, his mind was a little confused now.

"It's not nice." Kim Jong-ming continued to look back at the other party with a smile. "Among the artists who play hiphop, there are probably more than 12 people who have a criminal record in a year, right? The most 'respected' person in the Korean music industry... I'm talking about Lee Soo-man, his criminal record is bigger than Bai Chang-soo, right? What era is it, don't think of people as bad as they are!"

Gary touched his nose awkwardly, and these two statements seemed to be really unrefuted.

"As for Sister Ji Hyo." Kim Jong-ming put away his joking smile. "When the dinner party was a man who was ambitious and Jong Kwok-ge's perfectionism, it was difficult for the two to be together... But in fact, it's not just Sister Eun-hye. Which woman who can make a name for herself in the Korean entertainment industry these days has no thoughts and personality? A truly soft person has long been broken through by the big waves!"

Gary nodded now: "Actually, I know this, Ji Hyo is very strong. She has been working hard without saying a word in the "Frost Flower Shop" before!"

Kim Jong-ming was silent for a while. The movie "Frost Flower Shop" has been three or four years. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he needs time to recall it... However, after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit Gary's statement, because this movie is indeed a huge life test for Song Ji Hyo.

By the way, when her career was booming, she was in order to get rid of the shackles and become a recognized successful actor in the industry. In addition, the person who acted in the opposite scenes was the two most popular young actors in the industry, and a costume drama with big investments... Anyway, I don’t know what I thought, but in the end, Song Ji Hyo actually chose the most adventurous way for a female star, imitated Jeon Do-yeon’s ‘devotion to art’.

But what happened? The box office was very successful and the movie was well received. Then the two popular chickens, Jo In-sung and Jo Jinmo, continued to become popular, and even the supporting soldier made Song Joong-ki famous. However, for Song Ji-hyo, who sacrificed the most, it was...bad comments!

For a female artist, to be honest, this blow is not only strong, but also unbearable. In fact, Song Ji Hyo's career almost instantly fell to a trough... During that time, on the one hand, she had to grit her teeth and resist rumors, but on the other hand, she had to return to the second and third ranks to shoot those worthless horror films. At the same time, in order to ensure that she could continue to survive in the entertainment industry, she had to face this pressure and roll her eyes to the embarrassment of so-called announcement artists... A garbage horror film came out, and she could play more than a dozen variety shows!

But then again, sometimes fate is so interesting. During that time, Song Ji Hyo encountered Yoo Jae-suk on the set of "The Birth of the Family", and then his strong, serious and hard work left a very deep impression on the national MC. It is precisely because of this that when "Running Man" fell into an embarrassing situation without a female MC because Lee Hyo-ri lost interest, she got an extremely precious opportunity and eventually squeezed out a competitive opponent like Goo Hara and gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry again.

In addition to these superficial things, the so-called "Frost Flower Shop" actually left a very deep impression on Kim Jong-ming... Of course, this impression definitely does not refer to the so-called "devotion to art".

"Actually..." After a long time, Kim Jong-ming responded to the other party's words thoughtfully. "My impression and senses of Ji Hyo are probably this kind of hardness and unyielding... I really can't accept it."

"I know." Gary took out a bag of wet wipes from somewhere, tore them open and handed them to Kim Jong-ming, and the remaining one was covered on her face. "Actually, Ji Hyo has always felt sorry for you in the movie "Frost Flower Shop"... Once she told me that you gave her a chance to make a pure love movie with such a high evaluation, but she turned around and became a "Frost Flower Shop"..."

"I felt it long ago." Kim Jong-ming took the tissue and wiped it on her face, and she was immediately excited. "After all, it was an actor when I was the first director. But after coming to "Runningman", even Kwang-soo became familiar with me quickly, but she always made me feel a little bit away from me... At first I didn't understand, but later I guessed it after someone reminded me... However, I really didn't care, but I appreciated her persistent personality... Nowadays, a female artist can grit her teeth and survive that situation. To be honest, she is better than many people!"

"That's why you said I underestimated her?" Gary had a little clarity. "When I think about it, I'm really worried."

Jin Zhongming remained silent.

"And you said I didn't understand the relationship between the two." Gary pulled off the wipes and threw them aside weakly. "Actually, after wiping his face and thinking about it carefully, I was indeed a little concerned but confused. What should I say? I don't understand..."

"Speak and listen."

"At the beginning, I was like an outsider, and I felt like she and Bai Changshu..."

"Just say it directly." Jin Zhongming sneered. "Don't you dare to write anything in your lyrics?"

"It's different." Gary couldn't help but sigh. "That's you, haha, I won't even say it in person... At first I thought that was indeed a bad woman, acting in that kind of scene, and mingling with the gangster, what's wrong with it?"

Kim Jong-ming raised his eyebrows disregardlessly.

"But I don't know when it starts. I think that the two people seem to be in love a little bit. Otherwise? Can a person with Ji Hyo's personality really be a ridiculous canary? And when you come to "runningman", I will be even more sure, because if there is a meaning of coercion and suppression, Ji Hyo asks you for one word, Bai Changshu will not be able to withstand your pressure... So in two years, I gradually recognized her relationship with Bai Changshu, and the proportion of this recognition is getting bigger and bigger. You tell me now that I think those two people do have a kind of upper-down, bosses to employees, gangster bosses to artists..., but at most, only 20%."

"It's good to have a success." Jin Zhongming couldn't help but interrupt. "And what, what's left?"

"You are right, it's good to achieve success." Gary replied staring at the roof of the car. "And it was because they gave up on themselves, because they were dating after "Frost Flower Shop"? Her reputation fell to the bottom and she didn't care at all. As for the remaining... 30% should be mutual support and dependence, right? Of course, it can also be said that the power is a bit of mutual use... This is too complicated, I don't understand much, but... it should be that this is what it means, right?"

Kim Jong-ming nodded: "Yes, I think so too. During that period, Ji Hyo and Bai Changsoo had a hard time. If Ji Hyo wants to survive in the entertainment industry, she needs a clear relationship to cover herself. As for Bai Changsoo, he also needs a brand new life circle to break through the past... The two hit it off. But what is still 60%?"

"What remains is naturally a normal and enviable ordinary love? Let's go with you and see your parents... By the way, when I knew that Bai Changshu went to see Ji Hyo's mother, to be honest, I was really blessed unconditionally in my heart... Ten thousand blessings..."

"That means that you were completely trapped at that time." Kim Jong-ming finally couldn't stand it anymore. "You had already fallen in love with Sister Ji Hyo at that time!"

"I know." Gary's tone suddenly became a little wrong. "So... I just pretended to be asleep, and I felt very guilty!"

How guilty is it? Kim Jong-ming really wants to turn around and question, but although he opened his mouth, he finally didn't say anything.

"Just like we said just now." Gary's tone was still very strange. Although he didn't look back, Kim Jong-ming could confirm that the other party's emotions were already a little wrong. This, for Gary, who was calm and expressionless, was simply... some volcanoes burst into deep inside. "The relationship between the two is abnormal, and now that both of them have regained their feet, the reason for making them together no longer exists... But this is not right, because there are still 60% of normal love relationships supporting them. So, although it is very dangerous, just a change in career and status is not enough to break up. Am I right?

"right."

"But at this time I appeared inappropriately." Gary's tone became even more depressed and his tone became even more weird. Kim Jong-ming had no doubt that this cold-faced man would lose control at any time. "Bao Chang-soo was undoubtedly a normal man... I was too... Then I was always unconscious of Ji Hyo on the show... and then, those feelings were revealed, he would definitely see... he couldn't stand it even if he was a man, right?"

"right."

"But Ji Hyo is so strong, she must not give up on this show, so... she, she will definitely not succumb to Bai Changshu's request, right?"

"right."

"Then the matter is very clear. The relationship between these two people was originally on the 60% dangerous line. Now because of me, they... there was a new problem between them, and they finally crossed the red line that maintained stability, and then they came to this point... right?"

"right."

"You said before that I didn't see myself clearly, and that's what you mean, right?"
To be continued...
