In 'Running Man,' Kim Jong-kook lost the unprecedented production budget of 700,000 won.
The SBS entertainment show 'Running Man' aired on the 2nd.
The members traveled around Seoul to complete a mission to revive the frozen economy by spending the allowance they were given. In the first RAY, the members had to pick their allowance and visit locations recommended by citizens, using all of it within a set time. The production team said, "Today's allowance is 3 million won," and everyone exclaimed, "We hit the jackpot!" and "Don't worry about spending money; this area is a luxury street," celebrating the large amount.
From the start, Kim Ah-young won 1 million won. Upon arriving at Gangnam Station, everyone shouted, "Let's spend the 1 million won!" saying, "There's really no consumption; let's revive the economy." Kim Jong-kook also mentioned, "There's really no consumption; I don't go out either," prompting Yoo Jae-suk to joke, "Don't save up the envelopes; spend some money!"
However, an unprecedented incident occurred as the bundle of allowance they received disappeared in the blink of an eye. 700,000 won was gone. Yoo Jae-suk guessed that Kim Jong-kook might be involved, while Ji Yea-eun suspected Choi Daniel. Even the distracted production team began to have suspicions.
Everyone remarked, "No one received any money." The responsible producer stated, "700,000 won was given earlier at the café," clearly indicating that it was delivered to Kim Jong-kook. He suggested, "Check your bag," but Kim Jong-kook was shocked, saying, "It wasn't me; I didn't receive it."
Eventually, a VAR review was conducted. The production team checked the cameras. Yoo Jae-suk urgently said, "The thief trying to steal 700,000 won, confess now!" Yang Se-chan and Haha also stated, "The culprit will appear in 5 minutes; confess honestly now, or we won't let this go!" increasing the tension.
In fact, after the first mission, Kim Jong-kook was confirmed to have taken the envelope on camera. It was in his hand until the slating. Everyone was shocked to hear he definitely received it, but the mention of Kim Jong-kook made them solemn. Haha remarked, "No one is saying anything; why are we coaxing him?" causing laughter, while Yoo Jae-suk suggested, "Think about it slowly."
Kim Jong-kook expressed his frustration, saying, "I really don't remember; I think I lost it in the bathroom. That's the only place it could be."
