On the October 18 broadcast of SBS's "Running Man", special guests participated in a race alongside the "Running Man" cast.

On this day, the production team announced, "Today's guests are people connected to Yang Sechan." Defying everyone's expectations, GIRL'S DAY's Yura and Apink's Chorong made their entrance.

At this, a flustered Yang Sechan asked, "What do they have to do with me?" while the other members remarked, "Ah, they're Yang Sechan's women."

The production team explained that there was a reason both had come, first shining a light on Yang Sechan having named Chorong as his ideal type nine months ago. In response, Chorong said, "But oppa, didn't you just talk about another member earlier?"

Yang Sechan quickly clarified, "Ah, HAHA hyung was the one who said that." Chorong voiced her disappointment that someone else's name had been brought up instead of hers, saying, "I thought I had come to the wrong place."

Recalling the moment he mentioned her as his ideal type, Yang Sechan said, "When Chorong showed up with short hair, I said I liked it so much."

Next, it was brought up that Yura had previously demanded an explanation from Yang Sechan on another broadcast. Yura then surprised everyone by saying, "Ah, that's because Sechan oppa and I have dating rumors."

Yang Sechan countered, "It wasn't a dating rumor, HAHA hyung just said something weird," mentioning how HAHA had claimed Yang Sechan once dated an idol.

To this, Yura shared the story of how an untrue rumor became treated as fact: "After HAHA oppa said that, it became a huge issue. Everyone went, 'It's Yura.'" She continued, "At first, because Sechan oppa and I are so close, I laughed it off going, 'Hehe, they say I'm dating Sechan oppa.' But after that, every single comment started linking me to Sechan oppa."

Yura added, recalling the awkward situation, "I've never had a single dating rumor break until now, so I thought, 'At this point, a dating rumor practically broke.'" She then playfully put Yang Sechan in a tough spot by joking, "Oppa, but you really can't tell. We dated, but you really hide it well."

Throughout the episode, Yang Sechan enjoyed a happy race while being on the receiving end of flirting from the two female guests. Among them, Yang Sechan drew particular attention as his face seemed noticeably fluttered around Chorong.

After all missions concluded, the production team prepared another mission for the special guests and Yang Sechan. A final decision was presented with movie tickets on the line. The production team asked them whether their hearts had ever fluttered for the other person.

With that, Yura and Chorong weighed whether to choose Yang Sechan. Meanwhile, Yang Sechan made his selection while wondering which of the two would pick him.

As a result, Chorong and Yang Sechan chose each other, capturing attention by winning luxury movie theater tickets valid for two years.

The members teased the pair, saying, "Are you guys really going to watch a movie?" and "This is how it begins."

Chorong, who chose Yang Sechan after much deliberation, confessed the moment her heart fluttered for him, saying, "You were so good at the games that I thought, 'Oh, he's cool.'" To this, Yura joked, "Unnie, I'll give you my ex-boyfriend, I'll send him your way," drawing laughter.
