1. BLACKPINK Jennie
In 2018, Jennie went viral following her appearance on "Running Man." She was paired with Lee Kwang Soo to enter a haunted house during the show. Jennie is known for being terrified of anything haunted or scary, so this was a massive challenge for her.
With monsters and ghosts popping up left and right, Jennie began crying hysterically. The idol looked like a baby as she wept, and Lee Kwang Soo scolded the staff for putting Jennie through the horror. Though she was crying, the viewers couldn't help but fawn over how adorable she was!
Sadly, Jennie failed her mission. When she met up with the other "Running Man" casts, she cutely scolded them for lying about the haunted house not being scary.

3. BTS Jungkook
