[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 5th, SBS's "Running Man" was held with Hong Hyunhee and Kim Jimin as guests, proceeding with a game of wits.

The broadcast started with a mission where the members gathered at a restaurant had to submit 5 coins to the production team if they went outside, on the grounds of "not focusing on filming." Hong Hyunhee, who participated as a guest, attracted the members' attention as she had lost a lot of weight. In response, Kim Jimin humorously got angry, saying, "Why did you lose weight and exclude me?" which caused laughter.

The mission of returning 5 coins when going outside was carried out one by one by all members starting with Yoo Jae-suk. Next, 10 coins were given to the three members who ate their meals the fastest. Yoo Jae-suk, Ji Seok-jin, and Kim Jong-kook received the coins for this mission.

The members complained about the mission being conducted without any hints, but soon focused and headed to the next filming location. Before boarding the bus, the members saw the assistant director standing at the door with one hand raised. Depending on their thoughts, some members gave high-fives while others hugged, performing actions that could be considered part of the mission. This mission awarded 2 coins to Kim Jimin, Kim Jong-kook, and Song Ji-hyo, who showed a stubborn attitude by not giving a high-five to the assistant director, i.e., not flattering.

Yoo Jae-suk commented on the production team's biased progress, saying, "Are you going to disadvantage those who try to be proactive?" but the production team said everything was scripted and proceeded to the next mission.

Upon arriving in front of SBS, the members followed the production team's instructions to pair up with the one person they trusted the most and got off. The paired members were puzzled upon seeing coins scattered on the floor. Kim Jong-kook and Yang Se-chan, Ji Seok-jin and Yoo Jae-suk did not pick up any coins. Haha, paired with Kim Jimin, quickly picked up coins secretly and put them in his pocket. Song Ji-hyo and Jeon So-min returned the coins to the production team. Lastly, Lee Kwang-soo, who found coins with Hong Hyunhee, jumped alone to pick up the coins and quarreled with Hong Hyunhee.

This mission, where members could take as many coins as they brought, left the rest of the members feeling empty because they did not pick up coins conscientiously.

Continuing, the members were divided into two teams and played a game where they burst gourds and collected falling coins in baskets to take as many as they caught, followed by a game called the "Projector Game," which is popular among college students these days. In this game, when a member said another member's name and a movie title, the member being teased had to perform a famous line or action from that movie.

Yang Se-chan impressed the members by skillfully performing lines from movies like "Veteran" and "Extreme Job." On the other hand, Ji Seok-jin was criticized for being old-fashioned by mentioning movies like "E.T." and "RoboCop." Meanwhile, Song Ji-hyo was scolded by the members for saying she hadn't seen "Miracle in Cell No. 7." Yoo Jae-suk attracted attention by realistically portraying a zombie from "Train to Busan."

In this mission, Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Seok-jin took first and second place. However, Yoo Jae-suk was disappointed with a consolation prize, while Ji Seok-jin was bitter after receiving a massage from Kim Jong-kook.

Finally, they conducted the "Devil's Whisper Race" to find the devil within the team. Yoo Jae-suk was chosen as the devil, and Jeon So-min as the angel. Meanwhile, Lee Kwang-soo did not receive votes for either devil or angel, saying, "This is the most upsetting," and vowed, "Today, I will really show what a devil is."

SBS's variety show "Running Man" can be watched every Sunday at 5 PM.
