Yoo Jae-suk Jokes Kim Jong-kook Skipped 'Running Man' for His Honeymoon
Running ManKim Jong-kook sat out filming ― and Yoo Jae-suk chalked it up to a "honeymoon."

On the Oct. 5 episode of SBS’s "Running Man," the cast assembled for a harvest-themed special, playing feudal lords and their servants in a tongue-in-cheek period setup.

As the games kicked off, the members joked, "Where is the muscle guy today?" missing their resident powerhouse, Kim Jong-kook. Yoo Jae-suk quipped, "One of our house staff got married and took off on his honeymoon. If the king finds out, we’re in big trouble," cheekily explaining Jong-kook’s absence.

Later, Yoo asked Ji Ye-eun, "Why are you wearing a topknot?" She shot back, "Because it’s cute?" sparking laughter on set.

Yoo and the "servants" teased that she’s only done modern dramas and isn’t exactly up on Joseon-era etiquette.
