'Newlywed' Kim Jong-kook was frustrated after failing to 'leave work on time.'
The SBS broadcast of 'Running Man' on the 7th was structured around the 'time attack punishment fighter' race. The members had to complete all the given schedules within the time limit while being trapped in a room in order to leave work.
On this day, the members had to move to the location that first came to mind when thinking of 'Gangnam.' Yoo Jae-suk headed to Han River Park, and while he was on the radio, he discovered litter surrounding him and lamented, "There's so much trash." He then expressed his anger by saying, "Why would you leave this here?" and began to pick up the trash himself.
About 5 minutes into the race, Yoo Jae-suk encountered Haha, but he did not stop picking up trash. He emphasized again, saying, "Isn't it too much to wait here with all this trash? Look at this. How can you leave this here? The trash can is right here. This isn't right."
Meanwhile, Choi Daniel and Yang Se-chan, who moved to Apgujeong, met and joined each other in 6 minutes, and Yoo Jae-suk and Haha also arrived at Apgujeong Rodeo, gathering all four. Song Ji-hyo and Ji Ye-eun, who were at Bongeunsa, met Ji Suk-jin during their travel, heard Kim Jong-kook's radio message in Garosu-gil, and all gathered in one place.
During this process, there was also a moment where they unexpectedly encountered actress Ryu Hye-young. Ji Suk-jin, seeing this, mistakenly thought, "Could this be a guest?" which made everyone burst into laughter. After about an hour, all members gathered, and three were confirmed as the ones who would face a penalty.
The first schedule was a 3-minute cooking mission proposed by 'Running Man' fan Jeon So-min. Jeon So-min is known to have consistently sent game ideas to the production team, and when his name was mentioned, Yoo Jae-suk humorously expressed his disappointment, saying, "He should come and do this himself." In this mission, Choi Daniel showcased unexpected cooking skills, boasting his 'cooking man' qualities.
Following this, the members also celebrated the birthday party for the August birthday celebrants, which was prepared a beat late after Kim Jong-kook's surprise marriage announcement. As the atmosphere became lively, Ji Suk-jin spotted a firecracker and nervously noted, "This is scary." Yoo Jae-suk then began joking, asking, "Why can't this be lit?" Eventually, during the production team's explanation, a firecracker exploded from Yoo Jae-suk's hand, turning the scene chaotic. Kim Jong-kook shouted, "We're in the middle of talking. What are you doing?" while Ji Suk-jin exclaimed, "What the heck! That scared me." Yoo Jae-suk commented, "I've never seen you this angry," and Kim Jong-kook also laughed, saying, "I haven't been this surprised in a long time."
The final game unfolded as a leaving work mission. The members had to choose 8 real key cards from a total of 30 cards and open the door in the back before 4 p.m. Yang Se-chan, Choi Daniel, Ji Ye-eun, Song Ji-hyo, and Ji Suk-jin succeeded in leaving work one after another, and ultimately, Yoo Jae-suk, Kim Jong-kook, and Haha were confirmed as the members facing penalties.
Kim Jong-kook responded, "I'll just listen to what the penalty is," when the members about to leave work requested, prompting him to yell, "Let's go! Hurry up! Just say it without me knowing!" with urgency, causing laughter. The penalty assigned to the three was 'to make gelato by stirring ice cream 100 times.' In the end, the trio completed the gelato after a lengthy stirring process and faced a late departure.
