The episode of the SBS variety show 'Running Man,' broadcast on the 1st, featured judoka Kim Min-jong and basketball player Lee Hyun-joong as guests in a race titled "Medal Madness."

On this day, Yoo Jae-suk shared that Lee Hyun-joong's father and Ji Suk-jin share the same date of birth. When Lee Hyun-joong revealed his father was born on February 10, 1966, Ji Suk-jin could not hide his surprise, exclaiming, "This is really unbelievable."

Kim Jong-kook also double-checked whether they shared the same day of the month, to which Lee Hyun-joong replied, "Yes, it's exactly the same down to the day."

In response, Yoo Jae-suk remarked that if Lee Hyun-joong were to rip off Ji Suk-jin's name tag, it would feel as though he were ripping off his father's name tag, eliciting laughter.

It was also mentioned that both of Lee Hyun-joong's parents are former basketball players. Yoo Jae-suk introduced Lee Hyun-joong's mother as former national team player Song Jung-a, an Olympic silver medalist.
