Park Si-eun and Jin Tae-hyun Complete Half Marathon Together

On March 24, SBS's reality show, Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 (동상이몽2 너는 내 운명), showcased the inspiring journey of couple Park Si-eun (박시은) and Jin Tae-hyun (진태현) as they successfully completed a half marathon.

The couple took on the challenge of a 21km half marathon, marking Park Si-eun's first attempt at such an event. Jin Tae-hyun decided to run alongside his wife to support her. He drew attention by mentioning, "The Daegu Marathon offers a prize of 230 million won for first place, paid in cash."

They started off strong, but as the race progressed, Park Si-eun began to struggle, even limping at one point, which concerned onlookers. Jin Tae-hyun communicated with their coach to prepare a pain relief patch for her. Former basketball player Seo Jang-hoon advised, "If you stop now, it’s over. It’s tough to start running again after coming this far."

Despite the challenges, Park Si-eun applied the patch while running and adjusted her pace, stating, "Let’s aim for a pace of 5 minutes and 50 seconds." She expressed her determination, saying, "Running is a time to overcome myself. I want to run without regrets. If I give up because it’s hard, I won’t achieve my goals, and I will definitely regret it. I want to run in a way that I won’t regret when it’s over."

Her resilience impressed fellow cast member Lee Ji-hye, who remarked, "I didn’t know marathons could be this beautiful." Comedian Kim Sook humorously asked Lee Ji-hye if she wanted to try it herself.

Jin Tae-hyun stayed ahead of Park Si-eun throughout the race. Kim Gu-ra praised the couple, saying, "This couple is truly amazing." Lee Ji-hye jokingly suggested that everyone from the show should run together, to which Kim Gu-ra humorously replied, "No thanks."

Ultimately, Park Si-eun completed the half marathon in 2 hours and 4 minutes. Jin Tae-hyun shared that with 800 meters left, he told his wife to enjoy the finish line, noting that crossing together would lessen the emotional impact. He felt that his thoughtful gesture went unrecognized by her. Kim Gu-ra quipped that Park Si-eun should run alone next time.

Park Si-eun concluded by stating, "Once I start something, I don’t like to give up midway. Even with pregnancy, I need a valid reason to quit, and since I don’t have one, I plan to see it through to the end."
