Somin always wants to team up with the handsome guests that come to Running Man, but she’s been blocked at every turn. The staff set up a special episode to give her a chance to fulfill her dream. Will she spend the day and have a meal with her least favorite visitor, Cho Saeho, or will her dream of spending the day with Kang Hoon come true.
Running Man begins a new long-term project this week. Each member is going to plan a trip. One by one, the team will try out each other’s perfect trip. This week, the trip planning begins and the first member to plan is chosen. Also, they compete to earn money for the budget…of all 7 trips!
The Running Man members are attempting to become imperial scholars, so they must know their own charms. But one among them has no charms. Can they catch this imposter among their ranks as well as discover their finer points? Join them on this very loosely historically based race!
Variety School is in session with special guest teachers: Yu Jaesuk and Jee Seokjin! In addition to the usual crowd in the students section, guests Roh Yoonseo and Joo Woojae are here for the full learning experience. Kiddy pools, pop-up pirates, and foam pits await. Which teacher can lead their students to a variety hit?
Join the cast as they enter a competition to be a butler in a fancy house under master Cha Taehyun. Perhaps one can rise above the humble butler to become master…as long as the 50-50 roulette agrees. The ambitious Yoo Yeonseok will do his best to beat the yes/no roulette that rules this house, but who will prevail in the end?
OOOhhhhhhhMMMM. This week, the 2 Days, 1 Night members are being taught the inherent value in living simply. Or rather, the staff is trying to convey that lesson to an extremely unreceptive, overpacked group of men. Can the staff convince the members to try out a minimalistic trip? …Also… zombies…obviously.
Welcome to a world where all the 2 Days 1 Night members are the same age and can gain seniority by the simple method of eating a bowl of soup. Except that soup is at the end of games where they have to do math, or pick out books, or not knock things over…Oh my! This is also a world with the fiercest match of hide (your marker) and seek that the show has ever shown. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!!
IVE joins the members this week for a rabbit based race. As we enter the year of the rabbit, the staff created a race centered around a Korean folktale about a rabbit. The rabbit is being hunted for its liver (but does manage to escape to safety in the folktale). This week, they are searching for which among them is the rabbit with no liver…or the spy in other words. Will this week’s rabbit hop free?
Shinrok and the Running Man members are all potential heirs of a conglomerate family. Unfortunately, their late father was a bit eccentric and will only leave his fortune to someone lucky. Which of them will be able to battle their way to a major share of the company by proving their good luck.
For the end of the year, the 2 Days 1 Night crew get to play Santa Claus…and Rudolph, for the locals around a magical Santa village. They also prepare for a brand new year by trying to take in all the good vibes that they can get in a historical town that gave birth to some of the heroes of the Korean Independence movement.
