Running Man Reveals New Year’s Fortunes: Song Ji-hyo’s Ambitions, Haha’s Challenges, and 2025 Predictions
The 744th episode of the SBS variety show “Running Man,” aired on January 12, featured the members exploring their New Year’s fortunes.
A tarot reading expert analyzed Song Ji-hyo, who recently ventured into the perfume and lingerie business, saying, “You have a persistent ‘runaway mindset’ that will continue this year. You feel happy at home, but after just a week, you’ll want to leave.”
The expert added, “Inside you, there’s a bear. This is a time when your aggressive energy and drive to achieve are exploding. It’s been a while since you’ve felt so immersed in something. You’ll find yourself thinking, ‘If I had lived like this earlier, I could have done even better.’”
Hearing this, Song Ji-hyo clapped her hands in surprise and agreed enthusiastically, “That’s so true! I’ve been thinking that a lot lately.” Close friends Kim Jong-kook and Ji Suk-jin confirmed her dedication, saying, “Ji-hyo is really giving it her all right now.”
Meanwhile, the expert advised Song Ji-hyo to be cautious of younger men.
The reading continued with Haha’s fortune. The expert revealed, “This year, your spouse’s fortune will heavily influence you. You’ll need to actively support your wife’s activities.” The tarot reading also indicated that Haha’s wife, singer Byul, would experience a busy year.
In contrast, the expert gave Haha a less favorable reading about his own endeavors, saying, “This is a year to observe your work rather than dive into it. It’s not a year for starting something new.” This left Haha feeling uneasy.
Next, the expert read Yoo Jae-suk’s tarot cards, saying, “This year, you’ll spend a lot of time worrying about the ‘Running Man’ members, especially Haha and Ji-hyo.”
Yoo Jae-suk admitted that Song Ji-hyo, who recently started her business, felt like a niece he was watching over.
Finally, the expert predicted the fortune of “Running Man” for 2025, stating, “The show will see a lot of new people joining, bringing in multi-talented energy. It seems like the production team has a curiosity for fun personalities and a desire for stimulation. This will be a year of experimental attempts for the program.”
