[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 12th, the thief team formed by Lee Kwangsoo and Yang Sechan won the victory on SBS's 'Running Man.'

That day, 'Running Man' was a 10th-anniversary special live broadcast, conducted as a 'mystery drama with viewers.' When Lee Kwangsoo saw Jeon So-min, who entered the filming site first, he got angry, saying, "Why are you going this far?" This was because the production team had previously explained that there would be benefits for whoever arrived first for this live broadcast shoot.

Lee Kwangsoo felt frustrated, saying, "Why come an hour early?" as Jeon So-min happily held up the first-place flag. Soon after, Yang Sechan appeared and admired Jeon So-min, saying, "Amazing, amazing." The three who gathered by a narrow margin bet on who would come next, and the person Jeon So-min mentioned, Song Ji-hyo, appeared, surprising the three.

The members, who received numbers in the order they arrived, each chose one occupation. Only Ji Suk-jin was assigned the role of Chairman Wangko, while Jeon So-min was a gambler, Lee Kwangsoo a judge, Yang Sechan a detective, Song Ji-hyo a lawyer, Kim Jong-kook an analyst, Haha an insurance company employee, and Yoo Jae-suk a butler.

Then, with a notice delivered to Chairman Wangko Ji Suk-jin, the 'Thief Running Man's Provocation Race' unfolded. The members had to reveal the identities of the two hidden thieves. As the race began, roles according to occupations were revealed.

Meanwhile, when Chairman Wangko Ji Suk-jin said he could revoke the voting rights of butler Yoo Jae-suk, Ji Suk-jin was delighted and teased Yoo Jae-suk. However, the situation reversed immediately when the butler Yoo Jae-suk's ability was revealed to be able to obtain the safe's password.

Additionally, Judge Lee Kwangsoo could submit two voting rights in all trials, Detective Yang Sechan could watch a 20-second private video of one person of his choice, Lawyer Song Ji-hyo could exclude one person from suspects in the first trial, Insurance employee Haha could check the number of lost gold bars, Gambler Jeon So-min could double her team's prize when using her authority before the final result announcement, and finally, Analyst Kim Jong-kook could exercise the penalty transfer right based on viewers' voting predictions.

Since the broadcast was live, viewers participated in voting to guess the thieves while the members were deducing. After confirming their abilities, the members were invited to Ji Suk-jin's house. They searched the gold bar room in the Wangko mansion, deduced the thieves, and a game began where the two thieves, hiding their identities, tried to move the gold bars while avoiding them.

While the members entered the gold bar room and performed their missions, the first vote raised Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Kwangsoo as the two suspects. When both denied being thieves, the members held a second vote. As a result, Lee Kwangsoo, who received the most votes, was put on trial, and it was revealed that he was the thief.

With Lee Kwangsoo revealed as a thief, the members suspected Yoo Jae-suk as the second thief again. Lee Kwangsoo explained that Yoo Jae-suk only cleaned up the gold bars he spilled while trying to steal them, but the members did not believe him. Ji Suk-jin also confirmed Yoo Jae-suk's words but said he couldn't close the safe door because he didn't know the password, which caused laughter.

With most suspicion focused on Yoo Jae-suk, the viewers' voting results were announced. At this time, Yoo Jae-suk and Kim Jong-kook appeared dressed as Kaonashi and zombies as penalties. Yoo Jae-suk especially explained that he was supposed to wear zombie eyes, but since many children watch the show, he left them out, thinking it would be too scary.

Finally, after each member claimed they were not the thief, Analyst Kim Jong-kook decided Yoo Jae-suk seemed like the thief. Ji Suk-jin then announced that Yoo Jae-suk received the most votes from viewers. Yoo Jae-suk, who went up to the judgment stand, suffered, insisting until the end that he was not the thief, and when he removed the name tag on his chest, the word 'Citizen' was revealed.

Then Lee Kwangsoo cheered and hugged Yang Sechan. The other thief was Yang Sechan. Yang Sechan and Lee Kwangsoo, who appeared second after Jeon So-min at the beginning of filming, had already arrived earlier and planned the race. Since the members failed to catch the thieves, the victory that day went to the thief team of Lee Kwangsoo and Yang Sechan.

Meanwhile, Ji Suk-jin expressed deep gratitude, saying, "I am so thankful that I don't know how to express it for supporting Running Man for 10 years." Then Haha-Song Ji-hyo and Kim Jong-kook-Yoo Jae-suk received mud pack penalties, concluding the 10th-anniversary live broadcast.

SBS variety program 'Running Man' airs every Sunday at 5 p.m.
