Haha, despite keeping Running Man for 16 years, suffered an unexpected recognition embarrassment from Heo Kyunghwan.
While moving, Yu Jae-seok mentioned to Heo Kyunghwan, "'Best Peak' is over, so I'm appearing on 'Running Man'." In response, Heo Kyunghwan shared a surprising experience, saying that after appearing on Running Man, there were people among overseas fans who recognized him.
Heo Kyunghwan said, "At Hongdae, foreigners watched Running Man and recognized me," and said, "There were foreign fans who remembered me even if I appeared only once a year. I was very grateful. It was so amazing."
Hearing this, Yu Jae-seok brought up a recent "shocking true story." He said, "While filming Hangout With Yoo, I met a child who didn't know Haha from Running Man," and revealed, "Even though they're a Running Man kid, they didn't know Haha." The person involved, Haha, also recalled the situation. Haha said the child had said, "I like Running Man so much," and explained that Yu Jae-seok recognized the child but the child did not recognize him.
The members burst into laughter, saying, "Haha has been attending Running Man for 16 years without missing an episode," contrasting Heo Kyunghwan, who said overseas fans recognized him even if he appeared once a year, with Haha, who has guarded Running Man for a long time but suffered a recognition embarrassment from the Running Man kids.
Here, Ji Ye-eun's remark delivered a finishing blow to Haha. Ji Ye-eun asked Haha, "Isn't it Infinite Challenge?" and Haha, looking bewildered, emphasized, "I also appeared on Infinite Challenge." As an original member who also appeared on Infinite Challenge for about 12 years, Haha could not hide his indignation.
With the junior repeatedly "erasing Haha," Yu Jae-seok finally said, "Ye-eun, how many times are you going to kill him?" which sent the scene into peals of laughter. Ji Ye-eun replied cheekily, "I forgot," and continued to give Haha humiliation until the end.<
