As the only female member of the popular Korean variety show Running Man, Song Ji Hyo is loved by many for her down-to-earth personality and fiery attitude ever since the show’s debut in 2010.
Also known for her roles as the female lead in numerous Korean dramas such as “Emergency Couple” and “My Wife’s Having an Affair this Week”, Song Ji Hyo gained international fame for her natural beauty and flawless complexion, and has also collaborated with brands such as NBA where she released her own cap series “CHO.2”.
While the 35 year old does have a girly and feminine side, Song Ji Hyo often portrays a boyish, tomboy image on Running Man, and has appeared ‘bare-faced’ on screen several times. From colorful, edgy snapbacks to large oversized sweaters, here are 5 looks from the Running Man’s Ace that we absolutely love:
1. The Oversized Sweater
Anything oversized seems to be the craze in South Korea these days, whether it is an oversized shirt, coat or sweater. Besides being comfy and casual, oversized sweaters are also really cute on females with smaller, petite figures like Ji Hyo. Not to mention that it’s absolutely perfect for cuddle weather.
Product Recommendation:
2. Leather Jacket
Ji Hyo proves to the boys that she is indeed the Ace of Running Man with her black leather jacket and high ankle boots. If you’re feeling confident and untouchable today, this would be the perfect look for you to embrace that girl power you feel inside.
Looks like the boys from Running Man won’t be making fun of her anytime soon!

3. Back to Basics
Not sure what to wear today? Go back to the basics. Sometimes simplicity is best and nothing can beat a white button-up shirt paired with boyfriend jeans. This look can be casual or formal, depending on how you wear it. If you feel like the look’s a little too simple for you, feel free to add some color to your outfit by wearing a simple bracelet or necklace.
It’s that simple.
4. Signature Snapback
You’re not Song Ji Hyo if you haven’t got at least 10 different snapbacks in your wardrobe. Not only has the snapback become her signature style, it is also her identity. On Running Man, Ji Hyo is often seen wearing cute character caps or the NBA CHO.2 series.
Snapbacks are not only cool, but they can also be used to cover up a bad hair day. Now that’s what I call “one stone kill two birds”.
Product Recommendation:
5. Innocent Lace Dress
Hearts melted when Ji Hyo appeared at the “Emergency Couple” press conference in this milky-white Maria Lucia Hohan lace dress. She may be a tough cookie, but she does have a feminine side. Match the look with a floral ring and you’ve got enough flower power to keep you going throughout the day.
