OH MY GIRL member Mimi surprised both viewers and fellow cast members after making a candid revelation about her dating history during the latest episode of the popular variety show Running Man.

The June 14 broadcast featured a series of lighthearted conversations among the cast, but one topic quickly became the center of attention when the discussion turned to romance and relationships.
During the episode, the members asked Mimi about her most recent relationship. Her answer immediately caught everyone off guard.
According to Mimi, the last time she dated someone was when she was just 17 years old.
“More than ten years have already passed,” she said, leaving the cast visibly shocked by the revelation.
The surprise did not stop there. Mimi went on to explain that since then, she has not experienced many of the romantic situations that people commonly associate with celebrities.

She revealed that she had never received a direct confession of love, never been involved in a casual romantic situation, and had not even received a private message from someone expressing romantic interest.
The confession prompted an immediate reaction from the cast, who struggled to believe that someone as popular and charismatic as Mimi could have gone so long without a relationship.
Fellow cast member Haha offered his own explanation, suggesting that Mimi might appear too guarded or difficult to approach.
“It’s because Mimi is too defensive,” he joked.
Mimi quickly responded with a laugh, insisting that she had always been open to meeting people and forming connections.
The conversation soon turned into one of the episode’s funniest moments as the cast continued teasing and offering relationship advice.
Ji Ye-eun, who is publicly known to be dating dancer Vata, playfully stepped in as a self-proclaimed expert on romance.

“Mimi, let me tell you. I know men’s hearts well,” she joked, drawing laughter from everyone on set.
That comment opened the door for veteran host Yoo Jae-suk to deliver one of the show’s signature comedic punchlines.
Teasing Ji Ye-eun about her relationship, Yoo jokingly remarked that she had managed to win Vata’s heart “with fake teeth,” a comment that immediately sent the cast into another round of laughter.
The exchange became one of the standout moments of the episode, with viewers praising the natural chemistry among the cast members and Mimi’s willingness to speak honestly about her personal life.
Known for her energetic personality and straightforward attitude, Mimi has become a fan favorite on variety shows thanks to her ability to create memorable moments without hesitation. Her unexpected confession offered fans a rare glimpse into a more personal side of her life, making the segment even more memorable.
Despite the humorous atmosphere, many viewers also expressed sympathy and admiration for Mimi’s honesty. Some fans noted that the pressures of being an idol may make dating more complicated, while others praised her for discussing the topic openly without embarrassment.
In the end, what began as a simple conversation about relationships turned into one of the most talked-about moments of the episode. Between Mimi’s surprising revelation and the cast’s playful reactions, the segment delivered exactly the kind of spontaneous entertainment that has helped Running Man remain one of South Korea’s most beloved variety programs for years.
For many viewers, Mimi’s candid confession was proof that even after more than a decade in the entertainment industry, she can still surprise audiences with her honesty and charm.
