Malaysia was mentioned on an episode of Running Man much to the delight of Malaysian netizens as the South Korean variety show is popular here.

In an episode which aired on Aug 23, cast member Ji Seok-jin asked celebrity guest Lee Young-ji to name the capital of Malaysia. The rapper had a hard time although she was given clues by Ji.

"Ku? Ku? Kuala guskida dudalmans?" Lee replied to everyone's amusement.

Try again, girl.

"Kuala Lumbalumba?"

In the end, Ji helped her out by giving her the answer when in walked another cast member Song Ji-hyo into the studio and was asked the same question.

Confidently, Song – who recently appeared in the fantasy drama The Witch's Diner – replied: "Manila."

Song must have a poor memory as she was last in Kuala Lumpur in September 2017 for a promotional visit.
