Running Man Episode 683 pt 2 Review

Guests: Several junior comedians join and perform.

My Entertainment Score: 3 out of 10 laughs

I appreciate the effort of the younger comedians and that this was given less air time than the other trips. The idea of it was funny as well. These trips continue to not work for me though.

What Happened: 

Theme: Seokjin’s SUPER Early 60th Birthday Party Trip

Trip Planning (38:23 of episode 683- 40:13)

Seokjin’s Birthday Trip (40:13- 1:17:50)

This trip starts with the members gathering in a park. Then Seokjin is carried in and traditional dancers and musicians as well as dragons create a procession to take everyone to the bus that will take them to the hotel where the party will take place. 

At the hotel a presentation is given about Seokjin. 

Younger Comedians’ Performance - 49:15.

Meal - 1:05:00.

Seokjin Crocodile Tears Special - 1:11:30. Congratulatory speeches and heartfelt words are shared until Seokjin sheds a tear.

Birthday Gift (1:17:50- end of episode)

Three prize choices are set up by the staff. One has a Gucci bracelet. The other two are flour bombs. Seokjin will choose one to see if he gets an early birthday present from the staff.

The members can work to reduce the options to only 2 by playing a telepathy game. They only need to get 2 out of 4 questions correct to help Seokjin. The questions are about Seokjin and the members need to match his answer. 

Preview: Joo Hyunyoung (actress), Tsuki (singer of Billie), and Eunbi (singer) join the crew in an R coin war! Twist…gaining coins isn’t the goal…

!!!Spoilers!!!

The members are able to get Seokjin’s choices reduced to a 50-50 chance.

Seokjin chooses incorrectly and does not get his wonderful gift from the staff.

Sechan used all the remaining budget for trips, so the future trips will have no money to spend. Seokjin, Jongkook, and Haha and the three remaining members to plan trips. Sechan chooses Seokjin to be the next trip planner.
