As the show 'Healing Camp' is a time where celebrities get more deep and personal than probably do on any other variety show, of course Gary responded to the question so many people are asking. Is the 'Monday Couple' real or not?

On the August 3 episode when he and Lee Kwang Soo were guests, Gary was asked about his on-screen relationship with Song Ji Hyo from 'Running Man'.

A photo of him and Song Ji Hyo was brought up, where the two were spotted looking quite intimate at a gathering outside of the filming set. If you remember, this photo sparked a lot of questions about whether the two are dating.

Gary explained, "That was at 'Running Man' dinner after we attended a year-end awards ceremony. We were just so comfortable that's why we were like that."

The audience, however, seemed skeptical and unconvinced by his response judging by their reaction, causing Gary to laugh.

When one audience member asked him in the 5 years that they've been on 'Running Man' together, whether he never once developed feelings for Son Ji Hyo, Gary paused and considered his answer.

He then said, "Outside of the broadcast, there hasn't been one time when we contacted each other about personal things. When you have a loveline for that long, there are things that you learn about that other person that makes you think 'oh, Ji Hyo has this kind of side to her?' And I kept thinking to myself 'don't get shaken up, don't get shaken'. Because if we [did date] and broke up, then one of us would probably have to leave the show. So because of that, I've really just been working."

The audience member seemed unwilling to let go of his fantasies about the 'Monday Couple', and asked if there will be a song in Gary or Leessang's album about Song Ji Hyo. Gary laughed out loud surprised by the persistence of the audience member, and joked, "Not this album, but maybe in the next album."
