In the show 'Running Man,' Kim Jong-kook faced an unprecedented situation when he lost 700,000 won in production costs during filming. Fortunately, he found it and regained his smile.

On the 2nd, during the broadcast of the SBS entertainment show 'Running Man,' Kim Jong-kook came back to life after crying.

That day, the members traversed all over Seoul for a mission to revive the frozen economy by spending their given allowances. In the RAY, the members drew their allowances and visited locations recommended by citizens, and they had to use all their allowances within a time limit. The production team said, 'Today the allowance is 3 million won,' and from the start, Kim Ah-young won 1 million won.

However, an unprecedented event occurred when the bundle of allowances quickly disappeared. 700,000 won went missing. Yoo Jae-suk guessed that Kim Jong-kook might have it, while the responsible PD noted, 'I gave 700,000 won at the cafe earlier,' emphasizing that it was definitely handed to Kim Jong-kook, but Kim Jong-kook was surprised and said, 'Not me, I didn’t get it.'

The production team kept insisting, 'Did you lose 700,000 won? That’s impossible!' Because it was such a significant amount, the members looked around in confusion, busy trying to figure it out. They even resorted to reviewing the VCR. Ultimately, the production team checked the camera. Yoo Jae-suk even exclaimed, 'If anyone is trying to steal 700,000 won, just confess now,' while Yang Se-chan and Ha Ha said, 'The culprit will show up in 5 minutes, just be honest now,' creating a tense atmosphere.

After the first mission, Kim Jong-kook was seen on camera taking the envelope. It was in Kim Jong-kook's hand until the slate was done. Everyone was shocked to hear he had it, but they quickly became serious upon mentioning Kim Jong-kook’s name. Ultimately, they decided to resolve it with Kim Jong-kook's personal funds. Kim Jong-kook said, 'I will pay for it.' Yoo Jae-suk remarked, 'How must Kim Jong-kook feel about losing it?' and added, 'He only knows how to collect envelopes; today, Kim Jong-kook is so unfortunate.'

Curiosity about the truly missing 700,000 won grew. Everyone decided to search every nook and cranny, saying it was the '700,000 won disappearance case.' However, they left it unresolved and moved by car.

Then, at a restaurant where they went for a meal, Kim Jong-kook found the 700,000 won the moment he took off his coat. He had been carrying it in the sleeve of his jacket without a place to put it. He had forgotten it inside the sleeve. When Kim Jong-kook finally discovered the lost money while taking off his outerwear, Yoo Jae-suk commented, 'You only know how to work out; you don’t know how to do anything else,' and added, 'Thank goodness.' Kim Jong-kook returned the found 700,000 won to the production team, regaining his smile.
