Host Yoo Jae-suk of 'Running Man' eventually offered a heartfelt apology for his excessive joking. Footage aired of him bowing not only to an upset Haha but also to his wife, singer 'Byul.'
On the 15th, the SBS entertainment program 'Running Man' featured a special titled 'First in the City.'
That day, the members performed various missions centered around the keyword 'Incheon First,' bringing laughter, including a pool music quiz mission where Yoo Jae-suk's excessive involvement led to an accident.
Before the quiz, Yoo Jae-suk and Haha signed a 'pants disappearance prevention treaty' to avoid fooling around, but during a fierce game, Yoo Jae-suk forgot that agreement and unexpectedly pulled down Haha's pants. Haha shouted in anger, "I said I wasn't wearing underwear!" and the broadcast screen even had mosaics over Haha's tight pants, making everyone laugh.
A flustered Yoo Jae-suk immediately apologized repeatedly, saying, "I'm sorry," to which Haha added a realistic protest, saying, "I'm 48 years old. I have three kids. I have a parent meeting next week." Only then did Yoo Jae-suk seem to fully realize the seriousness of the situation, bowing his head and saying, "I'm really sorry. I forgot I wasn't wearing underwear."
Moreover, Yoo Jae-suk expressed, "I'm sorry to my wife, Ms. Ko-eun," extending his apology to Haha's wife and singer Byul, which made the atmosphere somber. The production team added subtitles saying, "Dream, Soul, Song, don't watch this week's broadcast," which added more laughs, while the other members suggested, "At this point, he should get butt points to ease the mood."
In the end, Haha received an additional point for 'butt points,' and Yoo Jae-suk showed a reflective demeanor, bowing until the end. Although it was a joke from Yoo Jae-suk, who hasn't exhibited his comedic talent in a while, he demonstrated a serious apology, proving his responsibility as the 'Nation's MC.'
