Song Eun-I Leaves a Lasting Impression on Ji Sang-Ryeol in 'Old Encounters'

The KBS2 variety show 'Old Encounters' (오래된 만남 추구) premiered on January 26, 2025, featuring a memorable moment between Song Eun-I (송은이) and Ji Sang-Ryeol (지상렬). During the episode, Ji Sang-Ryeol made his way to a gathering of women, where Woo Hee-Jin (우희진) complimented him, saying, 'You look great for your age,' marking their first meeting. Jang Seo-Hee (장서희) also mentioned a connection through the drama 'Cuckoo's Nest' (뻐꾸기 둥지).

In a surprising revelation, Song Eun-I shared that Ji Sang-Ryeol had always held potential beyond just being a colleague, recalling a previous encounter on the show 'Infinite Challenge' (무한도전). Ji Sang-Ryeol had participated in a blind date segment on 'Infinite Challenge' alongside Kim Sook (김숙), Shin Bong-Seon (신봉선), and Song Eun-I, where he humorously expressed his reluctance, stating, 'I would rather eat prison food than marry any of them.' However, when questioned by Song Eun-I about whether he ended up alone, Ji Sang-Ryeol cheekily replied, 'That would be you.'

He further joked that even now, they could all enjoy a bath together, leading to laughter among the cast. 'Old Encounters' aims to rekindle past relationships among single celebrities and airs every Sunday at 9:20 PM.
