Lee Kwang Soo Tells True Story Of Getting Rejected After Taking Yoo Jae Suk's Dating Advice On “Running Man”
The cast of SBS’s “Running Man” played a hilarious game of truth or dare.
On September 2, the members had to end the game by finding the game’s secret. One of the missions required the members to reveal some secrets of their own.
After choosing “truth,” Lee Kwang Soo confidently stated, “There’s nothing I can’t say. The viewers are family.” He, however, froze when he saw that the question asked him to share embarrassing stories about him and women that Yoo Jae Suk knew about.
Yang Se Chan said, “You have to tell the truth so we can earn a hint,” and HaHa added, “All you have to do is not lie.” Looking at his teammates, Lee Kwang Soo said with a laugh, “Wow, you guys are really annoying right now. All I have to do is not lie?”
The actor then began to share his truth. He said, “I went to Yoo Jae Suk at night for some advice about a girl. [I said at the time,] ‘I think she has feelings for me and I currently like her as well.’ I went in front of his house and the two of us talked in the car.”
He continued, “Then, Yoo Jae Suk said, ‘Kwang Soo, if you don’t confess your feelings right now, you may lose her.’ The next day, [I sent her a text message saying,] ‘I think I like you. Do you want to try dating?’ She replied, ‘Kwang Soo, I think you’re misunderstanding something. We don’t have that kind of relationship. We’re colleagues.’”
After telling the story, Lee Kwang Soo pointed at Yoo Jae Suk saying, “This guy ruined my precious relationship. When I think back to that even now…”
The staff then asked Lee Kwang Soo if that was the only time he was rejected after confessing. Lee Kwang Soo asked in disbelief, “How much did he share?” Yoo Jae Suk replied, “Just tell the truth!”
Lee Kwang Soo continued, “Are you talking about that? The time when a woman who was having a fling with me was involved in a dating rumor? Is that what you’re talking about?”
Everyone burst into laughter and Yoo Jae Suk told him, “That’s not the one.” Lee Kwang Soo shouted, “You have to tell me what it is so I can say it.” Yoo Jae Suk protested, “I never said things like that!”
“Running Man” airs on Sundays at 4:50 p.m. KST. Check out the latest episode below!

Online dating based on smell? There's an app for that.
The single life. The list of pros and cons are exciting and petrifying, as are the dating opportunities. There’s online dating, which offers something for everyone … and we mean everyone! And thankfully, there’s Wanda and Wayne to wade through the depths of dating apps and sites for their readers. Here’s what they dug up on a recent search of the new, niche and notorious. Good luck, you daring daters!
Wayne says:
Love is in the air folks. No seriously — can’t you smell it?
Yes, Smell Dating is a thing. It’s also a company (https://smell.dating) which tags itself “The first mail odor dating service.” Their concept is simple, if not stinky. It sends subscribers a T-shirt, which they wear for three days and nights without deodorant. They then return the shirt to the company, which creates swatches of said shirts and then sends them to potential matches. Take a whiff of the goods and if something tickles your nostrils and your fancy — and someone else is feeling your funk — Smell Dating will establish contact.
Well, they do say love is blind, but I’ve never heard anything about the reliability of love’s olfactory system.
Wanda says:
I smell a rat. Or a con. Or … science? There’s something to be said for pheromones, those tricky little scents all animals secrete when attracting mates. Could Smell Dating be a thing?
Maybe for some, but there’s no way I would want a partner’s first impression of me to be based on how I smell after not applying my good old Secret soft solid for three straight days. Heck, I don’t even like to smell myself at that point. And how exactly is one supposed to wear the same T-shirt for three days unless it’s a three-day weekend and you’re camping?
Come to think of it, Alaskans, if smell dating intrigues you, don’t bother sending off the T-shirt and waiting for results. Just go hang out at a Bear Tooth concert or a Sitzmark winter show or Salmonstock, inhale the aromatic opportunities, and follow your nose to your next potential romance.
Wayne says:
I love the smell of last night’s bonfire in the morning …
What’s the hottest online dating site/app in the game? EliteSingles. Oh you haven’t heard of it? Of course you haven’t. Ha.
EliteSingles targets and caters to members who are educated and over 30, smart, hardworking and seeking long-term relationships. More than 80 percent of members hold bachelor’s, master’s, and/or doctorate degrees. You’d have to be pretty brilliant and dedicated to survive EliteSingles’ 200-question personality test, which analyzes around 30 character traits to generate exhaustingly comprehensive user profiles.
EliteSingles’ popularity (2 million visitors and 165,000 new users per month) stems from its success rate (2,000+ new relationships a month) and its commitment to be as serious as its users: background searches to verify members; prioritizing user safety and information security; and creating thorough, efficient and intuitive connections.
If you’re looking for quick swipes and hook-ups in a sea filled with fish, bait your hook elsewhere.
Wanda says:
Man, I am so tired of getting blown up by advertisements for this service. Kidding!
I can see the value here. I have too many successful, attractive, amazing, single friends who complain about the difficulty of meeting any valid potential partner. Many will describe online dating as a frustrating exercise in ignoring or rejecting folks who aren’t as successful or attractive as them and in some cases are decades older.
Again, science backs this up. A study published earlier this summer found that there’s often a huge gap with online daters where people chase after people who are, for lack of a better phrase, out of their league.
The trouble with most online dating is it’s simply the electronic equivalent of walking into a crowded bar: there may be some pretty faces, and plenty of folks looking for a good time, but there actually may not be a single person in the room that meets one’s standards. So go get it, EliteSingles. And for the rest of us, we’ll just have to wait for that AverageSingles site to launch any day now so we no longer have to electronically mingle with those pesky supermodels and millionaires.
Wayne says:
For football fans, Wanda, dating someone out of your league is called “outkicking the coverage.” And I’m an all-pro!
Speaking of elitists … Opposites might attract, but when it comes to the Apple vs. PC debate, there’s no love lost between the camps. Maybe that’s why a dating app like Cupidtino actually existed for a hot minute.
In this world of tech trends and online dating, along came Cupidtino (Cupid + Cupertino = Get it? lolz), which gave all of those millions of super-cool, uber-smart Mac and Apple users an online “neighborhood café where people are hip, décor is classy, conversation is intelligent and prices are reasonable.” It was also a safe place to play with their favorite Apple-approved products while laughing at the inferior tech users who were locked out of the cafe.
While it scores points for creativity, the site was too niche, quite possibly less popular than the U2 iPod, and ultimately its lifespan was shorter than an iPhone battery.

I'm in a dating slump? Any advice to get me fired up again?
Allana Pratt Relationship Intimacy Expert suggests something kinder than a “kick in the seat”…
Question: Coach Allana, I feel like I’m in a real dating slump. How can I give myself a kick in the seat to get back out there and date?
Answer: I appreciate your question and thank you for reaching out. I’m also inspired that you’re taking action wanting to shift out of your slump.
May I be straight love?
I don’t believe slumps are either bad or good… they are simply a part of you piping up… trying to tell you something. They don’t need to be kicked 😉 They’re telling you that there’s a reason why you are procrastinating or feeling depressed or hopeless. And that part of you that’s asking to be heard, loved and healed in a lasting way… not be kicked in the seat! They need to be scooped up in your arms and listened to… we wouldn’t kick a child if it was sad, right?
A lot of us haven’t been taught how to navigate intense emotions.
A lot of us haven’t been taught how to be with somebody and just listen and not fix them.
A lot of us have been judged (or even kicked) by somebody who is uncomfortable with our feelings.
Thus when we feel anything other than happy and good… and we resist ourselves!
And the distance we create between ourselves and the uncomfortable emotion… is the same distance we create from those we choose to date. Another way of saying that is when we are emotionally unavailable to ourselves, we attract emotionally unavailable partners. Or the more we hide from our truth, the more we will hide from showing up in the world.
The inner always creates the outer. Make sense?
So how do you change it and get back into that natural authentic expansive open hearted state so as to enjoy the process of dating while also enjoying the perks of being single until you meet your ideal partner?
One of the keys is being totally at peace and content with being alone.
Another is learning to love the part of you that is lonely and wobbly… and not judging that aspect.
Another part is learning to navigate intense emotions so that you can do so in a relationship, stay present and be an outstanding vulnerable listener.
I encourage you to strive to be someone completely safe to be authentic with, someone who so easy to be around that you awaken the best in another, someone who really sees their partner for who they are without judgment.
I have compiled what I believe to be the 7 key steps that build upon one another that create a solid intimate relationship with self, with your body and sexuality, with the Divine and Life, that unequivocably leads to a sacred relationship with an ideal beloved.
Long-term lasting change just doesn’t occur being motivated from fear… it happens through being inspired by love…notice that part of you that knows that to be true.
So again while I appreciate your desire to kick yourself in the seat…xox I’d rather you heal your heart, develop courage and expand your resilience…
for those are deeply attractive inspiring qualities that any conscious partner will appreciate and admire.
Humongous love, Allana XOX

Relationship Experts Recommend Telling Woman You Would Die For Her At Outset Of First Date
DENVER—Noting that absolute devotion was the key to seducing a potential partner, relationship experts recommended Friday that it’s best to tell a woman that you would die for her at the outset of a first date. “Time and time again, we’ve found that the best way for a man to win the heart of a lady is to immediately swear upon being introduced that he would lay down his life for her,” said professional dating coach Martha Saunders, explaining that ideally, a man should mention that he would gladly take a bullet for a woman before sitting down at the table or making any small talk, since one doesn’t get a second chance to make a first impression. “If the woman doesn’t say it back to him immediately, he mustn’t worry. He should just keep reminding her throughout the meal that his last indrawn breath will be taken so that his last word may be her name. And on the practical side, it might also help to bring up any do-not-resuscitate orders and that you’ve already made her the sole benefactor in your will.” Saunders added that, if the date somehow still isn’t going well, it’s in a man’s best interest to communicate the sincerity and intensity of his feelings by threatening to kill the woman.
