Song Ji Hyo is the lone female thành viên of Running Man & time has proven that she is the perfect choice. Though she may laông xã the athleticism of the male members, she makes up for it with her intelligence and assertive sầu personality. In fact, she has the most number of solo wins in Running Man & she's one of the most feared members of the cast.

She's also one half of the extremely popular Monday Couple, the other half being Kang Gary. They're called the Monday Couple because (to the public's knowledge) they have not dated in real life và are only a couple on Mondays.
In fact, Song Ji Hyo was said to have been dating Baek Chang Joo (CEO of C-Jes Entertainment), a relationship that was revealed in February, 2012. Though there are rumors the two have broken up, the couple has still been seen together.
Before Running Man
Prior lớn Running Man, Song Ji Hyo had acted in more than 10 films & TV shows. Many consider Frozen Flower to be her biggest movie role to-date. Before that, she played mostly supporting or antagonist roles, the most famous of which is Juhy vọng. She is largely known as a B-, or maybe a C-menu actress và she is nowhere near the rank of Ha Ji Won, Kyên ổn Tae Hee, Moon Geun Young, or even Shin Min Ah.
She stated in one of her interviews that she doesn’t lượt thích playing typical characters, which are helpless & weak, và many of her fans believe that this is the primary reason she hasn't gotten many roles.
However, Song Ji Hyo also stated that she has not declined any role given khổng lồ her. With that in mind, we could also assume she's simply not being offered very many roles.
Her Projects Since Running Man
Since joining Running Man, she played a main role in The Fugitive of Joseon as a nurse và the love sầu interest of Lee Dong Wook. The show got mediocre ratings, between eight and nine percent for the most part.
She also got the lead role in a movie, The Jackal Is Coming, as a female assassin opposite Kim Jaejoong. The movie grossed a little over $1M at the box office, not a hit by any measure.
She was famously considered for the lead role in The Woman Who Married Three Times but eventually lost it khổng lồ Lee Ji-Ah.
Most recently, she was in Emergency Man & Woman playing the lead role opposite Choi Jin-hyuk.
The Jackal Is Coming had a mediocre box office reception despite the presence of one of the biggest idols in Korea, Kyên ổn Jaejoong.
How Running Man Has Changed Her Career
Undeniably, Ji Hyo is now getting the big breaks that she needs to further her career. Many credit the popularity of Running Man for that and I agree that the show has greatly contributed to lớn her getting noticed by producers, writers, và directors.
Though she’s still not at the level of Ha Ji Won and Kim Tae Hee, for once she has a shot at getting there. The only question is what’s taking her so long?
Running Man is on its fourth year và she is undeniably one of the cornerstones of the show. Her primary selling point is her partnership with Kang Gary, a rapper và half of the extremely successful duo, LeeSthanh lịch.
Her character in Running Man is so strongly identified and connected with Monday Couple that when her relationship with CJes CEO Baek Chang Joo became public, her character got lost in the show. She has always been competitive và a really good runner but Korea’s variety shows are primarily anchored in comedy and characters that people can sympathize with, as opposed to competition between them.
Monday Couple Fan Video
The Monday Couple has a large and devoted fanbase. Some are so devoted, they create videos like the one above.
The Power nguồn of the Monday Couple
When Song Ji Hyo’s real-life relationship became public, many fans felt Gary was cheated. As silly as it may sound (because both parties made it clear that the romance is only for the show), many fans felt that Song Ji Hyo had led on Kang Gary.
The Monday Couple broke up on the show but has since reconciled. Their resurgence proved to have sầu a bigger impact as Song Ji Hyo became more “cooperative.” Unlượt thích before, she has also initiated Monday Couple moments of her own instead of always waiting for Kang Gary to take the lead.
The Monday Couple is arguably the second strongest character in the show, with the first being the National MC, Yoo Jae Suk. Netizens are always abuzz whenever Song Ji Hyo và Kang Gary display some khung of sweetness on the show. Some even speculate that they might have sầu real feelings for each other or are even dating.
Even though the show has been helpful for Song Ji Hyo’s popularity, it’s hard not khổng lồ notice that the break she’s been given hasn’t led to lớn better projects. In fact, her role in Emergency Man, Woman was the very role of a cute và lovesiông chồng woman she swore never khổng lồ play. The show had some success but she has yet to get a follow-up project.
Could it be that fans are rejecting her partnership with actors because they can only see her with Kang Gary?
Could it be that her character in Running Man as the ace & the Monday Girlfrikết thúc is so svào that fans are having a hard time seeing her any other way?
Why Kang Gary Is Different
Kang Gary’s case is different because before Running Man, he was able to lớn create a strong connection to hip hop. He started at the bottom, with no label or management company willing to take hlặng in. To get started, Kang Gary and Gil invested their own money to lớn record their first album & did live sầu concerts khổng lồ promote themselves (because no TV show would pay attention khổng lồ them). It was a long haul lớn success, but one that eventually paid off.In other words, Kang Gary was already successful in his field before Running Man, và the show only helped hyên become more mainstream. By that time, however, his credibility, skill, & reputation as a rapper and musician had already been solidified.
Unconsciously or consciously, Kang Gary was also able lớn differentiate his career as a musician from his persomãng cầu as a variety star. In his LeeSSang interviews, he almost never mentioned Song Ji Hyo. It was only recently that he accommodated Song Ji Hyo-related questions in his LeeSquý phái interviews và even then it was quite brief.
Because he was already established, he will have no problem continuing with his career as a musician either with or without being identified with Song Ji Hyo.
Other Actresses That Have Been in Similar Situations
Song Ji Hyo, on the other hvà, had a mediocre career prior khổng lồ Running Man. As a result, her commercial success became deeply connected to being the ace as well as the Monday Girlfriover, và it’s possible that people are having a hard time seeing her any other way. They see her only as a great variety star & find it hard to lớn detach themselves from that image.In the past, there have been other actresses who suffered the same fate. Park Ye Jin was a character actress highly respected for her acting skills. But after being a member of the highly successful Family Outing, people started rejecting her presence in other movies & TV shows. She then decided to lớn leave the show altogether so she could concentrate on acting, her real craft.
Then there's also Yoon Eun Hye who “played” the love sầu interest of Klặng Jong Kook in X-Men. To date, there are still some supporters who believe that they used lớn be together và that they will eventually reconcile.
Park Ye Jin has yet to bring baông chồng the brilliance of her acting career. On the other h&, Yoon Eun Hye was lucky lớn have sầu been young enough when her love interest with Klặng Jong Kook happened. She was able to lớn rest for a couple years and then come back lớn make several successful TV shows.
Should the Monday Couple Be Stopped?
Song Ji Hyo, on the other h&, is in her mid-30s. People like Ha Ji Won và Shinhwa are making being 30 and unmarried a bit more acceptable nowadays in Korea even though just last decade, 30 was considered ancient. However, Ha Ji Won và other women who are now in their 30s had reached success even in their 20s. In contrast, Song Ji Hyo is just starting and needs khổng lồ be very wise in her career moves.
With the Monday Girlfrikết thúc following her everywhere she goes, can she build a svào enough identity outside of it?
Song Ji Hyo is not a great actress. She’s not terrible but she’s also not excellent. She’s not prolific. She’s not one of those actresses that can be given any kind of role và fit it perfectly. She has a personality that requires her lớn be selective sầu about the kind of roles she will play and those roles aren’t numerous.
With the extra baggage of being most well-known as the Monday Girlfrikết thúc, things are becoming more difficult for her.
Maybe, just maybe, it’s time for the Monday Couple khổng lồ lie low a bit và let Song Ji Hyo blossom on her own until enough people can see her brilliance beyond being the Monday Girlfriover &, eventually, beyond being a variety star.
More on the Best of Running Man
Here are some other articles on the very best of the best Korean variety show of all time, Running Man:Running Man has been on the air since 2012 & has over 200 episodes. Here are ten of my favorites that each have sầu some special moments that set them apart from other episodes. I also have liên kết to the full episodes.
While the Running Man cast always goes crazy for pretty female guests, usually the funniest episodes are when they have a guest they can mess around with và treat like an equal. Here are some of the best female guests that have been on the show and given the cast a run for their money.
The best part about watching Running Man is seeing the cast interact in funny ways with the guests and watching relationships develop. Some of my favorite episodes have sầu been with guests that either have sầu a history with the cast outside the show or have sầu been on the show multiple times. The shared history makes for a lot of very funny moments.

The only reason Ji-hyo had more solo wins coz they let her win. If this was a real competition KJK and Gary would’ve swept the floor with others.

tBH I didnt mind the Monday Couple at least it was a comedy segment that made a part of the show even funnier but I hope they both are happy though as Gary has a wife and a son. So I do hope the best for all the RM members and season 1 was the most amazing season for me và I have never missed an episode of it because bachồng then like skinship was not a bad thing back then but now obsessed fans get too into it when they don't realise its just a show.

From a B or C rated actress not many people knew to lớn a pretty known actress with a lot of recognitions, this article looks silly. She made herself popular thought Running man & Monday couple. However this is very outdated article. KG is now married with a child & is no longer in RM & she is a very busy actress và entertainer. So the point if this article is...?

This article was written with a biased approach. It’s crystal clear that the writer did not research much about Song Ji Hyo. SJH has already created a name for herself before she joined Running Man. She started as a Mã Sản Phẩm, has hosted a musical variety show and acted in both films & dramas.

sjh & kg are amusing lớn watch, running man are one of my fav because each one of them has an interesting character and the monday couple is one of the spice that make the show awesome. i not from korea, but because of running man came to lớn know them all. so, i think it has it own good và bad thing because that is life. for sjh & kilogam i wish them well, what ever happen it up to lớn them decision to lớn be true or nhái. be happy go lucky
RMfans on September 18, 2016:
I seriously HATE this monday couple relationship since it's created from the beginning, from early episode i dont see the chemistry at all, all fake! Suffocating actually, i rather have them lớn be không tính tiền from this MC so that they can freely interact và have sầu chemistry with any guest. The only RM members who really cares with Ji Hyo off screen is kwang soo, jae suk, haha and jong kook, but Gary naturally not a caring person. He only used his jealous lines every now & then and his fans thought that concludes the whole kém chất lượng relationship, i wish the Running Man PDs can read my comment. Please END the nhái monday couple, it's tiring and enough already. You dont need to force this whole MC thing because RM members are popular in their own style. Let Ji hyo and gary spread their wing on their own. Please please end this fake monday couple, it's been uninterestingly suffocating for 6 years.

Well, I don't know.
I really like the Monday couple. I think they're ridiculously xinh tươi together. But what they do in their personal lives is their own business.
If they get together, great! If not, ah well.
Gigi on May 13, 2016:
Just stumble on this article và agreed with you. MC is really overused. Thanks god they already ended it.
stop on May 10, 2016:
Frankly speak SJH laông xã of variety skill at all, she doesnt know the way khổng lồ joke back, if there r not MC ... she might be not sooo famouse as the day.
But for Gary, he do well on variety, as first he's a peaceful Gary, King of funny dance, painful ignored. Actually he can play these roles so well... I bet If PD didnt put hyên on love-line.. he can st& popular by himself as teasing Gary. coz he's a playful one as u guys c in many vcr clips with his closed friover lượt thích HAHA,,, they always be plank.
Yes, Monday Couple needs lớn die now and release Song Ji Hyo from that moronic, baseless, uncomfortable 'ship'. I mean, I get the charm, especially because Gary is a very smooth talker, but honestly, I've sầu NEVER once seen Gary actually being a gentlemen lớn Ji Hyo when the cameras WEREN'T on hyên ổn. The fact that he does it at times khổng lồ attract attention and laughs makes it even more shallow & scripted that I can't believe sầu they have sầu fans who actually believe they have sầu something 'special'. Especially when they've claimed themselves, multiple times, that they don't hang out outside of work.
The only way I would ship Ji Hyo in an RM couple, is if it were with Kwang Soo or JK because they actually help Ji Hyo out & care for her behind the scenes, especially Kwang Soo (it's such a shame that MC is so popular when Kwang Soo và Ji Hyo are a real heartfelt & sibling relationship). If Jae Suk and Suk Jin weren't married, I'd pick them over Gary too because they also care for her behind the scenes. Heông xã, she even has more chemistry with Haha!
I'm glad she decided to diverge her reality persomãng cầu with WGM and I can't wait khổng lồ see the dynamic she has with Chen Bo Lin. Hopefully that scripted ship with sink MC.
I totally disagree with the author . I first watch running man was when the episode when tuy nhiên ji hyo played as the chaser with Kim jong kook . nothing to lớn vày with the Monday couple .. So basically I love running man because I saw her as a svào woman . not the kind of girl/women that is full of aegyo and acting weak . as for her acting , I love her play in goong , whispering corridor và other drama và the drama I just recently watched emergency couple before & I am telling you that she was great in it . it is depkết thúc to you whether you like her acting or not . nobody toàn thân would care since it is one's right . but I'm telling you that she's doing well in her career with or without her mc partner . sorry 4 my broken English .. :)

honestly, i m agree with the author. i knew about gary through running man. when i knew kang gary is a former rapper of leessang, i kept listening his music. now, i accept kang gary as a rapper, not as a comedian from variety show...
but it's not the same case to lớn song ji hyo. yes, she is cool, pure,pretty..but, when talking about acting, she is not really incredible actress who are st& out from other actress..i m not interested to see her again in other drama.

I think the idea that "monday couple" is one of the "special few things" that keeps the show popular is siông chồng. I thought it was entertaining in the first few episodes, after that it became gross & bloated with hideous fan noise over who ships who. I think this article is refreshing amongst all the delusional vomit that tries to dictate how the show ends up instead of letting it have sầu a little air. When these kind of humorous romance ACTS were invented at the beginning of the show, it happened on its own và felt original & new. Now it's just become an overdone cliché THANKS lớn the moronic owners of many of the commenters above sầu (or below). I love sầu running man for how original it is but this other business just makes me want to lớn throw up và I might be burnt out from the ludicrousness of it all.
I agree with this post: "In my opinion, Monday couple are giả. Especially Monday couple fans. Most Monday couple fans are gary fans and they also hate jihyo which sounds ironic. When ji hyo is with make guest the fans insult her but when gary is with female guest they say he gentleman!?! It is obvious that they are basis to lớn gary, most of Monday couple fans at least. "

supib on February 04, 2015:
I think that the loveline between Gary & JiHyo was certainty Gary who started this whole Monday Couple thing. I just finished watching all 230+ episodes of Running Man. From ep1 till episode 80 ish (when Ji Hyo's relationship was released) that Gary has always been the one who poke love sầu lines at Ji Hyo. Around the 100th episode point Monday Couple started arising again (i believe sầu that was when Ji Hyo broke up with her bf). As RM progress you see that whenever the cast members line up it JiHyo và Gary was always next khổng lồ each other. I don't think that the PD's would tell the RM members how to lớn line up nor is RM scripted so that shows how Gary and JiHyo are as cthua thảm as they act. During one episode JiHyo said she was single outright lớn Gary without even a slight pause that shows that she indeed broke up with her BF. During the Taiwan interview with the RM cast members JiHyo said she missed Kang Gary (who was in GuangZhou) and that she would tell everyone that if there was something going on between Gary & JiHyo she would let her fans know. I believe sầu that there are feelings that JiHyo và Gary have sầu for each other. In the end my thoughts are that Gary & JiHyo would probably marry in the near future or would date but sadly would not be when running man is still alive sầu and kicking. Maybe these two will surprise the entire world và announce that they are dating on the show. Mansei Monday Couple

noiha on June 22, 2014:
i agree with you on some points, jihyo's acting isn't prolific, she has basic technique but she's not gifted. people lượt thích jung eunji -- she's completely newbie hence her technique is limited, but you can't deny her immense raw talent. eunji's gifted. that doesn't mean those without raw talent can't survive sầu, it just that jihyo's technique is basically the same, no development or whatever, before or after running man. i believe sầu that she has realized that ha jiwon's status is something she can't reach, hence having variety as her basic is just right. leaving RM or variety show is a risky and bad decisions. oh i love jihyo, she's hardworking và all, but you should admit that it takes more than hardworks khổng lồ take you to lớn the top. what she's done now is completely safe, và probably the one she should have stiông xã with.
imo, both park yejin and lee chunhee, though i enjoy them in family outing, should not take part in FO in the first place due lớn their immense talents being overshadowed by their variety persona. joongki did a good decision to leave sầu early, but these two have sầu became too attached with their persomãng cầu. i vị hope they are able to get challenging roles again in the future because they're just too good. it's just a shame that chunhee stuck with that kind of character after FO when you know he's also capable of pulling characters lượt thích joongki's in nice guy (i don't really follow yejin's work now though)...

Gary was in a sense known in his field of hip-hop. But even when he was in Leesquý phái baông chồng then, the public barely knows him. Only when Leesthanh lịch started lớn get some fame, that's when people noticed the duo. Even then people didn't know who they are.
There was once when fans came khổng lồ Gary's restaurant looking for Leeslịch sự. They didn't know who Gary was, because baông chồng then Gil was a lot more popular và known because of Infinity Challenge. Gary was only started khổng lồ be known through Running Man. I feel that it is through Monday Couple especially that got people khổng lồ know about Gary. Without the Monday Couple, he may not be that much popular lượt thích now.
On the other hand, Song Ji Hyo was known way before Running Man. She was known for playing Min Hyo-rin in Princess Hours & A Frozen Flower. Though, she was more known in the variety sector. She got noticed from Inkigayo and later Family Outing. It is right lớn say that she really did rise to lớn popularity through Running Man. I would say that through RM, she got her fame as being the "Ace" first, before Monday Couple. But it is true that both their careers have sầu really gotten a lot of boost from the 'Monday Couple'.
Overall, I would say that without Running Man, Gary may not be known to lớn most of the public. While for Song Ji Hyo, she is already known, but may not have sầu as much fame as she would have now.

The Monday Couple is an incredibly smart way of deflecting hate from the tín đồ clubs of males Running Man guests.

I love sầu Jihyo. She is amazing. She has a lot of real personality and not the aegyo aegyo acting which some girls so clearly try to do on screen which comes off as kém chất lượng sometimes. The way she can adapt to lớn being the only girl in Running Man is commendable. It is quite unfortunate that netizens keep wanting her with Gary và not accepting anyone else that she is with( although i myself think that they would make a xinh đẹp couple). I just sincerely wish her fanbase grows and grows and grows .
Fadhatul Shahida from Ipoh, Perak on February 25, 2014:
rm members should stop pairing ji hyo and gary. This is make the director are confused that ji hyo is dating with gary or not. Ji hyo can be friends with gary like her oppa. Because the loveline also can damage ji hyo image as actress
lolilay on February trăng tròn, 2014:
Jihyo and gary will be more popular if they get married.
Hirepus on January 28, 2014:
Monday couple does affect Ji hyo career as an actress as well as her PERSONAL LIFE. I remembered when her dating news was announced, many netizens scolded her (-.-) & she was literally labelled as a "betrayer" to lớn Gary. And then many people wished that she would break up with her boyfriend. I really don't know what will happen if she decides khổng lồ get married.
On the other hand, MC gave sầu Gary a "good man" image, despite knowing he's a clubber and all. Obviously MC has earned Gary many many fans as compared khổng lồ Jihyo. (I believe most MC fans are also Gary fans).
As a bạn of Jihyo myself, I lượt thích her because of her personality and all, not because of monday couple.
Miss. Jellybean on January 23, 2014:
You raise an interesting point.
I vì believe that Song Ji Hyo should lie low with the whole MC thing until she can establish her own identity as an actress.
I think MC has brought her khổng lồ where she is và given her a lot of popularity (which i'm sure she is grateful for) - but I think it will hold her baông chồng from shining as an actress in the future.
The problem is most viewers seem lớn be unable khổng lồ see her out of her MC girlfriover character & that is not very beneficial khổng lồ her career in the long term. As a Song Ji Hyo tín đồ, I would love sầu so much lớn see her as a successful career woman and as a brilliant actress, rising to the unlimited potential she can be, rather than eternally recognised as the "MC girlfriend" - và nothing more.
If only I could tell her in Korean.. !!

Admin of one of her fansite, thank you for finding my schedule interesting. you're pretty much the only person who does. my schedule has been described many ways, and interesting was never one of them, until you.
it's my blog. it is healthy lớn interact with people reading my blog. except when the bình luận is a dead kết thúc one, i try lớn respond.
i appreciate you making long comments but i also want lớn appeal and ask you khổng lồ read my post too. i never said Kang Gary does not talk about Ji Hyo in LeeSsang interviews, i said "ALMOST NEVER AND ONLY BRIEFLY." you were able only to lớn state only one instance in many LeeSthanh lịch interview where he did mention SJH. in the context of their many leesquý phái interviews, more of which are not seen mainstream, talking about her in trăng tròn to 30 will still be considered "almost never "by percentage.
again, i didn't compare KG's music career to lớn SJH's acting career. again, i merely stated why KG is not affected with the loveline. LeeSsang's core fans, the ones that supported them even before RM doesn't really care about the loveline. they are there for the music. his new fans MIGHT BE THE ONES THAT WILL GET AFFECTED but again, the LeeSsang trọng core fans won't. they are the ones who bought LeeSsang's songs before RM. they will still be there even after the loveline.
then, there's the reputation they built. that's 16 years of solid music, no mainstream tư vấn. used their own money lớn produce their own album. their songs got famous, they didn't. their music does not rely on their image.
as for your thinking that i mean "Gary-the talented guy, build his foundation well, got inlớn fame from Running Man, don't depend on MC as much as JiHyo", that's your interpretation. that's what you want to think. i am only responsible for what i say, not for what you understvà. if you want lớn think that, it's your burden to lớn bear, not mine.
i don't contradict my statement, i contextualize it. when there are unknown variable, i acknowledge them & i try to lớn look at it from an objective sầu angle. again, please vì chưng read my posts well as you will find everything i say has a context.
Frozen Flower is a critical failure & had mediocre box office. the numbers are there.
movies are better and more professionally subbed especially korean movies than korean songs.
i work for the movie industry. i make a living out of making movies. it's my field. music happens to be a sibling of movies. i love both. i am not an expert on either of them but i know enough lớn be working in this industry for more than a decade. xypherfarrell is just an ink because i cannot afford khổng lồ have sầu my opinions be misconstrued as the opinion of the companies i work for. i can go all intellectual and talk about the lack of dimensions and subtext of movies but i don't see the point of doing that in this article.
as for her movies & tv dramas having "problems", that's your opinion. i respect that. i just find it hard lớn reconcile that someone intelligent like her would kết thúc up doing movies that are subpar in story. however, i already stated that she could still garner commercial success regardless of the quality. if other actresses & idols can get so much support even though they are bad actors, what more her? she's not great but not bad either. she deserves it more than others vì chưng. whether that's the right or wrong thing khổng lồ do for "the art", that's another topic & another post. the post is not a moral contemplation of the movie industry, it's about whether or not SJH's career is getting damaged by MC. i remain.
i am aware of the effects of variety to lớn actors, hence, the part about "OTHERS BEFORE HER" but the main difference is that yejin và sooro established their names as actors before variety. yejin has not recovered yet.
her biggest impact remains lớn be her being a variety star - the point holds as we have already agreed on the laông chồng of critical and commercial success of her acting projects.
"Your view on movies seems lớn be of a "ticket sales proportionate khổng lồ fans" = i don't know where you got this. i repeatedly differentiated critical & commercial success. but just a tip, you might want to lớn check the meaning of "commercialism".
you can go ahead và question leessang's success. you are không lấy phí lớn vày so. it's actually pretty entertaining to see whenever leesquý phái hears other people criticize them because they agree on everything.
anyway, yeah, epik high is great. very cerebral. but that's another post.
and in conclusion, you think that MC should lie low even though you think it doesn't affect SJH's career. did i get it right?
& you hate the fact that i seem khổng lồ imply that KG is successful enough to not be affected by the loveline whereas SJH isn't.

Does variety affect singers as much that their career face negative sầu consequences? Not exactly, easy, look at Haha, look at KJK for cthua trận comparison and it isn't hard khổng lồ find variety has helped them (Yea I know of Turbo & the stuff about the fame of Turbo even before X-Men kind of thing). They are just cđại bại examples, the difference on how variety affects the acting industry và singing industry is different all together. Of course, since the impact is different khổng lồ begin with, whatever happens in the other field definitely without a doubt will affect the different fields in different ways. Not that much because of who that person is but a matter of what that person really vì.
I said I don't underst& LeeSSang, honestly I don't, not lying, not going to bother khổng lồ, but I have heard of Epik High, Freestyle from years back though. Critical success và commercial success, success of their own terms in relative sense in different industries... I'm looking at another comparison, same thing across industries... again. What is the measure of success? Fame, popularity, songs that are nice, films that are nice, great acting, box office hit, sold out tickets... the list goes on, bởi I question his success, honestly I vì, but I'm not going khổng lồ say he isn't cause like I said before I don't know hyên well like how you sound the same about her work. (FF's success depending on what you are looking at & it can mean a lot of things, the box office can actually be considered a hit for one)
Your argument magnifies the problem of MC on her, making it as though that's all she depends upon on the show. My point is the not yet success of her career does not relate lớn MC. Yes, she is a good person, lượt thích he is a good guy, she deserves more, a point I will not say no khổng lồ, of course she does deserve sầu more, of course she should be recognized for her acting. Variety is secondary, it has always been(since when has it not). That is how they label her as well "Actress Song Ji Hyo", I have sầu never, emphasize this NEVER seen before news articles using "Entertainer Song Ji Hyo" lớn describe her.
To conclude my point for you, MC should be stopped, many reasons why it should yours don't hold that much, does MC affect her career as much as you assume, no, variety affects her acting career much much more. Should she vị better as an actress, yes, of course.

It seems more interesting to lớn me the fact that as busy as you so clayên lớn be, (of course humans slog their life out every day) that you are making such a post. Actually my point is very simple, why make such a post with what seems to me a lachồng of understanding of your point of discussion. Perhaps I gotten your point wrong then, cause it does sound clear to me in simple English this is what you mean: "Gary-the talented guy, build his foundation well, got inlớn fame from Running Man, don't depover on MC as much as JiHyo" To me, it is a comparison between who depends on it more because their main career as you said, Gary being more successful in relative terms lớn you, that is where the comparison comes in their main career difference và why does it affect each other more. And an additional note, the Taiwan interview which I previously mention was a LEESSANG interview, unless you wish to lớn ignore the fact that Gil was right there.
No the tư vấn of KG being with whoever, or SJH being with whoever in a project doesn't seem lớn be as affected as you seem lớn find. The fact that your title explicitly stated, "Is the Monday Couple Popularity Damaging Song Ji Hyo’s Career?" Yet you have dedicated an entire paragraph on how MC has not as much affected Gary, as much as it did khổng lồ JiHyo. JiHyo's problem has existed even way before Running Man, having liked her even before Frozen Flower(not lying here, first liked her for a line she said in Goong và I can recite it literally when she was in the taxi with Shin whether you believe sầu it or not it does not matter, but of cause her antagonist role in dramas led her to having antis something I recognize as well), I truly bởi vì believe that she has problems of her own that needs overcoming, does Monday Couple really play that much responsibility in her career, well no, not exactly, not as much as you assumed. People are willing to accept her with others, provided that the script is good, as of now for her lead roles in dramas or movies, the script has not been as good as I would have hoped for. If now a good script were khổng lồ be coming in, despite the fact that a guy other than KG acts as a male lead, would the audience be reluctant to lớn accept it because of the "Oh no, KG is going to be heartbroken"-thing , no, NO! Clearly if KG is talented, people will be able to lớn accept the fact that another female acts as his partner in his MV/Concert/whatever, and I'm not going to lớn deny his talent though I hardly heard his songs. Same goes, the fact that KG writes his own songs và all differs from JiHyo like what I have sầu been saying, the difference of career, what now? Is JiHyo going lớn write her own script next(Yes! I know of actresses who writes scripts but different argument again)?
And I did not say RM fans are the one supporting KG's concert, it seems amusing khổng lồ me how you seem all lượt thích KG người but continuously doubt his abilities và popularity yet at the very same time you seem khổng lồ speak as though of the very opposite in your main post(contradicting seems khổng lồ be your style). I said INTERNATIONAL fans can MORE easily tư vấn GARY or simply put SINGERS(Rappers, idols, hip hop...) as compared lớn ACTRESSES like JiHyo. Fans can listen to lớn songs without knowing the lyrics, go khổng lồ a concert without being able lớn understvà the language, but how many can survive through a movie not knowing the story cause they don't underst& the language? Fans can memorize the lyrics of his songs but are they going to lớn memorize the lines in her movie(phrase probably but whole thing, I won't even bởi that, lượt thích duh~). Support is reflected through different ways for both of them, and that is my point.
She has not done a lot of dramas and movies as you have sầu said assuming that is what you mean by "she has done more", a pity for me cause I bởi vì crave sầu for more. The fact that you laông xã an understanding for the acting industry is what bothers me more. Seemingly your way of support as well. Just simply look at say the example I have already brought up whether you read or not JaeJoong, famous definitely, fans plenty(the only Korean songs I have sầu with me are all sung by members of JYJ as well), being in the same movie as JiHyo if every single one of his fans were khổng lồ just buy 1 single movie ticket, the box office would definitely have sầu soared all the way to the top few, but is this your term of support, giving false impressions of a successful film despite the fact that it requires more in terms of storyline, that's supporting? How is your idol every going to improve, what I want of her is lớn recognize her shortcomings và what to lớn avoid in scripts, honing her ability as an actress & lớn develop from there on, not to lớn give sầu her the false impression that fans can go all the way out for her success and let her remain stagnant in her career. Your view on movies seems khổng lồ be of a "ticket sales proportionate to fans" theory rather than script or storyline, just to tell you , your view on it is outdated, totally. The difference is that going to lớn concerts & movies are entirely different things all together anyway, you get to see your idol sing in front of you vs your idol on a big big screen, the entire feeling is different và I guess you should know that right?
The point is to me variety is affecting her career, yes it is, & Monday Couple may despite add fuel to the fire, isn't doing as much as you assume it khổng lồ be. I will lượt thích to recommend "Healing Camp" the episode with Kyên Sooro guests on for you so you can at the very least deepen your understanding on whatever you are trying khổng lồ discuss, a program recommended by sites which I frequent upon, how has Family Outing affect his acting career(generally, variety khổng lồ acting), the decline of number job offers for one(1/10 of the original amount). The impact is as such: RM khổng lồ JiHyo much much much much much MUCH MUCH greater than MC khổng lồ JiHyo, pairing does not matter as much as you think, "As of now, that's her biggest impact"-point does not hold, a point which I'm trying khổng lồ bring up. Kyên Sooro, Park Ye Jin và others lượt thích them no matter how A class actress they are face difficulties after variety. Yoon Eun Hye got fame mainly through Goong in 2006 X-Men was before that, noting that X-Men is a different genre of variety and if RM did not bring up YEH in RM, gosh, how many people still care about it at all(ya there are some devotees), the pairing doesn't affect her position in acting as well. That is why famous actresses and actors don't tkết thúc to(I said tkết thúc to lớn of course there are the likes of Lee Seung Gi), cause it affects them a lot.
