[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the 29th episode of SBS's 'Running Man,' Ong Seongwu, Lee Dohyun, Seo Jihoon, and Zico appeared as the Visual Team.

In the opening, Lee Kwangsoo and Yang Sechan met Ong Seongwu, Lee Dohyun, Seo Jihoon, and Zico in the studio. The production team announced that these members would form the Visual Team and compete in games against the Variety Team (Ji Seokjin, Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Song Ji-hyo, Jeon So-min, Kim Jong-kook).

When the Visual Team joined Ji Seokjin's team outdoors, Jeon So-min kept laughing, calling them "male guests." Lee Kwangsoo expressed dissatisfaction, saying, "They don't even talk to us." Ji Seokjin's team teased Yang Sechan and Lee Kwangsoo for not fitting in with the Visual Team, which caused laughter. Especially, Yang Sechan, who happened to wear a jacket and T-shirt similar to Ong Seongwu's, was teased by the members throughout.

Actor Lee Dohyun mentioned his close connection by recalling that he presented an award to Yoo Sanseul at the 2019 Broadcasting Entertainment Awards. He also expressed his determination, saying, "I want to receive the prize and definitely give it to my parents."

The center of the Visual Team was Lee Kwangsoo, and the center of the Variety Team was Ji Seokjin as they started the first mission. The mission was egg cracking. The game was to crack fewer raw eggs out of 20 boiled eggs and 10 raw eggs. Lee Kwangsoo's team won the egg cracking game. The winning team had to pay 15 coins, and the losing team had to pay 20 coins.

First, each team member put in as many coins as they wanted, then the center filled in the rest of the accumulated coins. If the center successfully caught the team member who put in the least coins, that member had to pay all the coins. If the center failed, they had to pay an additional 5 coins.

Lee Kwangsoo's team members put in coins one by one, totaling 12 coins. Lee Kwangsoo pointed to Yang Sechan but failed, so he had to pay 5 coins. Ji Seokjin's team gathered only 6 coins out of 20, and Ji Seokjin pointed to Yoo Jae-suk but also failed. In fact, Song Ji-hyo was the one who didn't put in any coins.

The next mission was 'Stand in any order for now.' It was a game to guess the results of a survey conducted on 112 people aged 20 to 60, predicting their own ranking.

The first question was 'Who seemed to be most popular with girls during childhood?' Yoo Jae-suk guessed Lee Dohyun would be popular, and Lee Dohyun proudly said, "I can brag about it. On Valentine's Day in elementary school, I received so many gifts that I carried them with my mom." He also talked about playing basketball in high school, which made the members burst into laughter.

Song Ji-hyo ranked herself first, and So-min ranked herself third. Kwangsoo ranked second, and Yang Sechan teased him, saying, "You're acting all high and mighty." The result was a victory for Kwangsoo's team. Song Ji-hyo was actually first, but since Zico was ranked first by other age groups, all others ranked Song Ji-hyo first, which sparked envy.

The second question was 'Who seems the worst at partying in a club?'

When Lee Kwangsoo started shaking his body to the BGM, Yoo Jae-suk said, "I really hate this," and Jeon So-min shook her head, showing her dislike with her whole body. The Variety Team, led by Ji Seokjin, all came out and enjoyed a dance time. This question also ended with a win for Kwangsoo's team.

Kwangsoo's team, which had to pay 15 coins, accumulated only 1 coin, so Lee Kwangsoo pointed to Lee Dohyun and succeeded in catching him. Ji Seokjin's team had 8 accumulated coins, and Ji Seokjin pointed to Haha, also succeeding in catching him, so Haha paid 12 coins.

The final mission was 'Trustworthy Piggy Bank.' For 30 minutes, teams could tear off the opponent's name tags or find hidden opponent name tags and submit them to the center to earn coins. These coins were temporarily entrusted to the center, who then redistributed them.

The centers of each team, Ji Seokjin and Lee Kwangsoo, played a quiz game separately at the piggy bank location. The first question was 'Yoo Jae-suk's son's birthday,' which made Ji Seokjin and Lee Kwangsoo dumbfounded. However, with Haha's help, Ji Seokjin answered correctly with 'May 1st.'

Meanwhile, Zico, who was secretly following Yoo Jae-suk, was suddenly caught by Kim Jong-kook and had his name tag torn off. After that, he kept losing his name tags one after another, looking dismayed. Especially, he was startled every time he saw the pink color of the Variety Team's T-shirts, which caused laughter.

During the race, Yang Sechan gathered the other members and confronted Lee Kwangsoo, the center, who was only collecting coins and not sharing them, eventually succeeding in getting coins from him.

Also, Jeon So-min found four name tags of her own team, making them useless, so she cunningly exchanged two of them with Zico from the opposing team for coins. Meanwhile, Ong Seongwu was tricked by Haha into tearing off his own name tag with his own hand, creating a comical scene.

In the end, the piggy bank collected 43 coins for Ji Seokjin and 16 coins for Lee Kwangsoo, totaling 70 and 56 coins respectively, with Ji Seokjin's team winning. Individually, Jeon So-min ranked first, followed by Yoo Jae-suk and Kim Jong-kook tied for second.

Although Kwangsoo's team won all the games, they lost in the accumulated coin count. Yoo Jae-suk said, "Kwangsoo, you found teammates with similar tendencies to you," making Lee Kwangsoo frown. The two last-place members also came from Kwangsoo's team: Lee Dohyun and Zico. The penalty was a forehead slap.

Finally, in the prize draw, Jeon So-min got a member-signed name tag, Yoo Jae-suk got a life-size cutout of Lee Kwangsoo, and Kim Jong-kook got a dud. Meanwhile, Ji Seokjin drew an air fryer and took home the best prize.

SBS's variety program 'Running Man' airs every Sunday at 5 PM.
