Ji Ye-eun is coming out with ‘Squid Game 2’? Look-alikes Kim Si-eun and Joo Jong-hyuk to appear on ‘Running Man’

Actors Joo Jong-hyuk and Kim Si-eun will appear on SBS ‘Running Man’.

On the SBS ‘Running Man’ broadcast on the 16th (Sunday), actors Joo Jong-hyuk and Kim Si-eun, who have become a topic of conversation for their similar appearances to Yang Se-chan and Ji Ye-eun, will appear together for a look-alike special.

Actors Joo Jong-hyuk and Kim Si-eun, who appeared as guests in a recent recording, evoked a sense of intimacy with their appearances that resemble the Running Man members. Joo Jong-hyuk, who appeared on ‘Running Man’ for the second time, made everyone burst into laughter by revealing his troubles that weren‘t really troubles, saying, “After my first appearance, I hear about ‘Yang Se-chan’ wherever I go.”

Kim Si-eun is a rookie actress who caught the public’s attention as contestant number 95 ‘Young-mi’ in ‘Squid Game 2’. After the drama was released, many people have been curious about Kim Si-eun, asking, “Isn‘t she Ji Ye-eun?” Expectations are rising for what kind of chemistry the meeting of the two doppelgangers will produce.

This race was conducted in a format where look-alikes formed families and teams. Yoo Jae-suk, Yang Se-chan, and Joo Jong-hyuk, who are ‘skeleton look-alikes’, formed one team. Each look-alike family was given a check card, and if they successfully withdraw money from another family’s card through a mission, they could accumulate that much money. It is said that a bloody psychological war unfolded in a situation where each other‘s balance was kept secret, and they had to collect as much money as possible by taking as little and stealing as much.

The special race of look-alikes who are just like a real family will be revealed on ‘Running Man’, which airs on Sunday the 16th at 6:10 PM.
