Before "Running Man" finalized its members to only seven, there was an eight member of the popular Korean variety show. This was none other than Song Joong Ki. Due to his enlistment to the military, Joong Ki had to leave the show. Now that he's back in the television scene, Joong Ki is set to work on an all-new drama opposite Song Hye Kyo. Reports now claim there'll be a special cameo involving a giraffe.

AllKPop reports that Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo are set to star in the KBS Drama entitled "Descendants of the Sun." The drama revolves around the tale of a doctor and young soldier in a foreign land, who in time learn about the value of life. "Descendants of the Sun's" script will be written by Kim Won Suk, who is known for "Queen's Classroom," and Kim Eun Sook, who is known for "A Gentleman's Dignity."

While the star-studded cast is certainly one thing to look forward to, fans of "Running Man" will be delighted to know that certain "Asia's Prince" is set to cameo on the drama. Lee Kwang Soo, who is close friends with Song Joong Ki, will make a quick appearance for the drama as reported by Soompi.

"Lee Kwang Soo immediately agreed when Song Joong Ki contacted him to do a cameo. We've already filmed that part, and despite making a brief appearance, Lee Kwang Soo's presence was fantastic," stated the source, adding, "It's probably because they're so close friends, but all throughout filming, their 'sticky rice cake' like compatibility elicited smiles all around."

The report adds that while Song Joong Ki plays the role of Yoo Si Jin, Lee Kwang Soo plays the part of Seo Dae Young. Images of Lee Kwang Soo's cameo in the drama may be found here.

For "Running Man" fans, this is not the first time the best friends have met onscreen since Joong Ki's exit from the military. The pair reunited during a couple race special for "RM" and the two have also gone on a vacation early in June. Hopefully, fans get to see more of Kwang Soo and Joong Ki together.
