A former member of the long-running SBS variety program "Running Man" was recently seen enjoying a Hawaiian vacation. Song Ji Hyo's "Monday Couple" partner Gary even posed for a picture with an international fan while exploring one of the beautiful parks in Hawaii.

Gary has mostly avoided the limelight after he decided to leave "Running Man" to focus on his music career. Despite a few guest appearances in the said variety show, as well as a special performance during one of the show's fan meetings, the South Korean rapper has not been seen in public especially after the surprise announcement of his marriage in early April.

However, the "Running Man" alum was recently spotted on a personal vacation in Hawaii. An international fan took to social media to share a photo that she took with Gary, All Kpop reported. In her social media post, the said fan recounted her surprise in suddenly encountering Song Ji Hyo's former "Monday Couple" partner at the Pok'ai Bay Beach Park located in Hawaii's Waianae.

In the said image, Gary wore a sleeveless black shirt as he posed alongside the international fan. The former "Running Man" cast member looked casual and relaxed as he flashed a V-sign and smiled happily at the camera.

Meanwhile, Gary surprised many fans including his colleagues when he revealed that he tied the knot with his non-celebrity girlfriend. In the recent "Running Man" fan meeting held in Malaysia, Song Ji Hyo candidly shared that she and her fellow cast members were disappointed to have heard about the rapper's marriage through the news, Soompi reported.

Song Ji Hyo also revealed that her former "Running Man" castmate changed his mobile number and was unable to reach Gary to personally convey her congratulations. She added, "I sincerely congratulate him on his marriage and I hope he will live happily."

Gary was one of the original cast members of "Running Man" but left the show in November 2016. The said variety program airs every Sunday on SBS.
