Korean actress Song Ji Hyo has made history by becoming the most popular celebrity on China's largest video platform, ahead of Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing.

According to Daum, Song Ji Hyo has cemented her status as a fan favorite in the Chinese-speaking world with around 1.8 billion views of clips from the variety show Running Man, in which she appears as a regular cast member.

Indeed, the achievement is outstanding because Fan Bingbing has been the number 1 artist in China for quite a long time.

Consequently, a clip of 43-year-old Song Ji Hyo on Running Man was posted and viewed by fans to demonstrate that the popular actress had clips posted and watched not only in South Korea but also internationally.

On September 8, during the latest episode of Running Man, the cast talked about their school days. Song Ji Hyo, known for her beauty, reminisced about her school days.

Yang Se Chan, a fellow member of the show, asked her if she was considered the prettiest girl in school, given her good looks.

As a result, her castmates were very surprised to hear they were wrong about Song Ji Hyo. The actress modestly replies, "There was someone who was the prettiest". At the same time, she recalled her classmate, whom the cast member describes as having a model-like image.

On the other hand, the story sounded very different when told by singer Youngji, who studied at Song Ji-hyo's middle school. "

Song Ji Hyo became more popular in China as the variety show Running Man became one of the most successful variety shows in the history of Korean television. Her candor on the air has made her one of the most loved stars in both Korea and China.
