So much for a win for the Betrayal Trio today. They do, however, try to sneak up to Ricky via an opened window.Īlas, one small misstep on Haha’s part alerts his target of the attack and Suk-jin tears off Haha’s nametag. Hahaha.Įlsewhere, Haha and Suk-jin whisper in their hiding place, both uneasy about the other’s betrayal blood flowing in their veins.

KISSASIAN RUNNING MAN 207 ZIP
He’s forced to retreat when the others give chase and zip by a much-confused Ji-hyo. Looks like even today’s guests aren’t safe from In-pyo as he tries to swipe past Ricky. Gary takes this as an opportunity to slip out, but a few seconds later, Jang-hoon grabs him and tears off his nametag. They’re soon joined by In-pyo, who quickly thanks Gary for his charitable donations (aw!). Then it hilariously backfires on them since Spartakooks’ nametag is now that much more vulnerable, and Gary has to fight the urge to rip it off himself.

It cracks me up to watch Jong-kook hoist Kwang-soo onto his shoulders in order to intimidate Jang-hoon. He teases Jae-suk about his longstanding friendship with actor Lee Jung-jae (the two were once army buddies) and asks, “Are you going to carry me on your back too?” As in, he’ll support you as an MC today? Then he races out there with another round of “Thanks!”

Jae-suk humors him, but I’d bet that was a genuine look of shock and terror earlier. In-pyo retraces his steps to confirm whether the nation’s MC deliberately allowed himself to be caught for the sake of variety. He bolts with a courteous but hurried, “Thank you!” (It’s also the name of his variety show on SBS.) In-pyo’s in no rush to take anyone out, but he serendipitously runs into Jae-suk once more and swiftly rips off his nametag. Jae-suk’s momentary refuge is cut short when he sees In-pyo smiling from above in the stairwell. And yet we learn all that running was for naught when Ricky huffs to the camera: “I just wanted to say hello !” Ha. But as luck should have it, he crosses paths with Ricky, who gives chase. Gulp.Īt the start of the race, Jae-suk ducks inside to avoid eagle-eyed In-pyo’s line of vision. So there couldn’t possibly be any more, right? Why, meet recently retired basketball star Seo Jang-hoon, who stands over 200 cm tall. From what I’ve seen in Let’s Go Dream Team! (a sports variety program), it’s safe to say that his athleticism can give Jong-kook a run for his money.Īfter the initial wave of shock subsides, Suk-jin comments that the strongest enemy is usually announced last. Our second guest, actor Ricky Kim ( I Need Romance), greets Mr. The man sure ages well for someone who’s been in the industry for over two decades. With brains, brawn, talent, and an overall amiable personality to boot, you could almost call him Mr. Then the speakers blare to introduce our first guest: actor Cha In-pyo ( Gye Baek, Daemul). Jae-suk is immediately suspicious – by now he knows all too well that this kind of opening can only mean that today’s guests will be strong contenders. There’s a mix of excitement and apprehension in the air from the start of today’s nametag-rippin’ race. Who will come out on top and flip our expectations? Will there be a new ddakji king to usher in a new era? Is it too early to start panicking? Then it’s time to settle the score once and for all between the two ddakji masters. We get not one, not two, but three Spartakooks likenesses to join our cast in a Children’s Day Special. 51 Running Man: Episode 144 by gummimochi
