On Sunday the 18th, SBS's Running Man will air a chaotic OT scene featuring members blinded by luck.
This Race was set up as "2026 lucky OT day," and through various activities they had to increase the odds of winning the OT's big event, the face lottery. However, since this also required coordination, there was a heated exchange over the chance to put in the desired face draw ball.
It was because the unique keyword of drawing an "adjective" left no room for shared expectations, and no matter how hard they tried to draw, the team members were exasperated by the limited Korean language skills of the amateurs who didn't precisely know what an adjective was. Added to that was Yu Jae-seok's age-old "clumsy hands" nonsensical drawing explanation, forecasting one difficulty after another.
Meanwhile, Song Ji-hyo, who gambled on physical ability instead of brainpower, used her natural stamina to surpass Yu Jae-seok, who is famed for his strong core, and easily pushed aside Kwon Eun-bi as she dominated the soapy floor. Members who "intuited" this clicked their tongues, saying, "as expected, Song Ji-hyo," and "if we had gone, it wouldn't even have been a contest."
Meanwhile, Running Man has drawn attention with a steep rise in ratings since the new year. The episode broadcast on the 11th recorded a 2.4% "2049 rating" (Nielsen Korea, based on the Seoul metropolitan area households), taking first place in its time slot and first place among Sunday variety shows overall, signaling another heyday.
The Race "2026 lucky OT day," in which members throw themselves into defending their luck, can be seen on Running Man, which airs at 6:10 p.m. on the 18th.
