After School's Jooyeon says she "wants to be in love now," prompting Yang Se Chan to make a cryptic remark about her dating history

After School's Jooyeon, who turned 39 this year, opened up honestly about her thoughts on dating.

On the August 16 episode of SBS's variety show 'Running Man,' the cast embarked on the "Beat the Heat, Scratch-cation" race, searching for unique summer destinations to escape the sweltering heat.

In a recent recording, former girl group member-turned-actress Jooyeon, Apink's Eunji, and rising actress Kim Ji Eun appeared as guests. The three actresses each brought their own unique charms, with Eunji introducing her new song and giving an impromptu live performance.

Meanwhile, Ji Suk Jin asked Jooyeon, "Are you in love these days?"

Jooyeon honestly replied, "Originally, for me, work always came before love, but now I want love to come before work. I want to be in love. I should meet a good man soon. Is there anyone around me?""

The members pointed to Yang Se Chan and recommended him, saying, "Se Chan is actually a really good man."

However, Jooyeon immediately drew a line and remarked, "No," waving her hands in refusal and saying, "I've heard about Yang Se Chan's former idol girlfriend."

Then, Yang Se Chan quickly fired back, "I also know who you've dated. Should I talk about it? Let's see whose story would cause a bigger stir."

In the end, Jooyeon quickly tried to defuse the situation, saying, "Let's both just keep quiet," drawing laughter.

Meanwhile, Jooyeon has been caught up in dating rumors with BIGBANG's G-Dragon five times. Last year, G-Dragon's agency, Galaxy Corporation, stated, "The dating rumors between G-Dragon and Jooyeon, which have continued to be raised recently, are not true."
