The Running Man members have the chance to dictate their own penalties for the rest of the year! First they must best the staff in a battle of athleticism and wits. Will penalties continue to be tiresome or will we get to see a gentler form of motivation for a little while...and would that even work on these members?

It’s a Dance Battle Extravaganza as the women from Street Woman Fighter join the running man members for a totally new kind of battle. The crews they form could waltz away with a trophy or they could stumble in front of a whipped cream cannon. It’s time to find out if these amazing dancers can adjust to variety quizzes and rhythm games.

The Running Men enter the world of The Webfoot Octopus Game, which has a remarkable resemblance to the famous ‘Squid Game’, right down to the pink one-piece outfits and colorful playroom. *They had permission, never fear!* The large and very comforting difference is that no one is dying.

This week Running Man has the stars of a new drama called “You Raise Me Up”, about a man with a certain inability to rise *cough cough*, so they do a couple’s raise with games themed around a man’s pride…but mostly it’s just fun. Who will rise to the occasion?…that came out weird…
