SNSD and Running Man Shop For Food

Girls’ Generation members will be showing off their hidden cooking skills.

Six members of Girls’ Generation, Yoona, Yuri, Taeyeon, Jessica, Hyoyeon, and Seohyun, will have a cooking battle preparing dinner on an upcoming episode of SBS’s “Running Man”, scheduled to be aired on September 9th.

Before the battle between Girls’ Generation members and the six Running Man members, each team traded one member to the other side. The cooking battle started after the switching of HaHa and Jessica.
Before cooking, HaHa and Taeyeon, and Gary and Jessica went to a market nearby to buy groceries. HaHa and Taeyeon called each other ‘BboongBboongee’ and ‘BboongSoonee’, and went around telling the market workers, “We’ll live well/happily,” acting like a happy newlywed couple.

HaHa then looked at Gary and Jessica and joked, “You’re the couple that lives downstairs from us, right?” The production crew said Gary caused laughter by replying, “We’re going to break up after eating.”

Running Man: Episode 54

We’re in for a whole new ride with today’s theme: Protect the Boss – Last Team Standing. It’s an episode of adventure for some, horror for others, and still yet, some cast members are near non-existent in this episode. Who do you think the bosses are? Guess wisely though, because things are not always as they appear…

EPISODE 59. Broadcast on July 31, 2011

When our cast arrives, they’re immediately paired off as they await their mission. Jae-suk waits for his team partner – could it be Choi Min-soo? After all, he did ask to be scheduled for Running Man again to get revenge on Jae-suk. But no, it’s Kwang-soo, who runs to meet him like the Kwangvatar he is. It looks like the new name suits him, given his tall stature and long legs, much like an Avatar straight out of James Cameron’s blockbuster.


 
We catch up with the Monday Couple applying suntan lotion on each other. Rawr. Gary soaks in the attention but instead of a loving couple, they look more like Mom and Son. Ji-hyo wonders if there’s an attractive male guest today which sparks Gary’s jealousy. She hastily recovers with, “Kang Gary is the most handsome (man) on Mondays.”


Each team is told that the guest will be coming to them – so who are they? Say hello to today’s guests: actress Choi Kang-hee (Protect the Boss, Petty Romance) and actor Ji Sung (Protect the Boss, Royal Family). Their given mission is to pick up a team from three different locations. Best part? If they don’t like who they’re with, they can choose a different team. Hehe.

And they’re off! Ji Sung is freaking hilarious as he pulls up to one team, “This is amazing! People I see on TV!” Those mega TV stars? Why, Jae-suk and Kwang-soo, of course! The Monday Couple loudly voice their disappointment to see Suk-jin, and Kang-hee drives up to see Jong-kook and Haha.
 
Let’s hear the mission already! Mission Protect the Boss: Collect all the bosses’ nametags to win. If you incorrectly tear off someone’s nametag, you’re out. You obtain clues about other teams’ bosses thorugh mini missions. At the final destination, pick pick up a ringing phone. If you fail to pick it up in time, your team’s position will be compromised.

Mr. PD informs them that the boss is the one riding in the backseat. That makes Kwang-soo for the Black Team, Kang-hee for the Pink Team, and Gary for the Blue Team. Kwang-soo can’t believe his luck – it’s his first time as a hero!

No worries for the Black Team – they’re relying on Ji Sung’s jisung (intellect) to win them the mission. So punny! Ji Sung asks the others what their IQ is. Jae-suk “It’s over a 100…” Kwang-soo: “I didn’t get tested…” However, they should be concerned about Ji Sung’s fatal flaw: his variety rookie status. It leaves Ji Sung so flustered that he accidentally tugs on the emergency brake and drives over speedbumps.

To quickly remedy that weakness, Ji Sung gets a crash course on variety in the car. They’re forced to keep to the law here, unlike in k-dramaland, (Aww, no dramatic illegal u-turns?!) and Kwang-soo adds that even James Bond would have to stop at a red light.

At Yeoido park, Ji Sung asks why they’re walking versus running (it IS Running Man). Jae-suk replies that they tire themselves out when they run – thus, they walk. They receive their mini-mission and Ji Sung gets a painful taste of variety with sizzling bicycles seats. Must. Restrain. Twelve. Year. Old. Self.
 
It’s a tongue twister mini mission for the Pink Team. It takes a few tries (and a hilarious penalty) and they head to their next location to spy on the Black Team who failed to name the correct color order of the ahjummas working out at the park. Jong-kook reveals himself from behind the bushes and the teams face off, hesitant to attack first.

Jong-kook deduces that Kwang-soo is their boss, deadest in his choice. Kwang-soo panics and slips up by revealing his team’s clues. Kwang-soo: “Hyung, do you think I’m such an idiot?” Jong-kook: “You are one.”

The Pink Team are quick to notice that something’s definitely up with the colorful ahjummas and succeeds on the first try. They pick their clue to reveal…”Kkwang (Zero)” and Kang-hee chirps, “Kkwang…for Kwang-soo.” LOL. But, alas, no clue.

Meanwhile, the Blue Team complete their mini missions, obtaining more clues about their opposing teams. They receive a clue about the Black Team boss, “Ugly,” and the team debate between Kwang-soo and Jae-suk. As if it was a contest.
 
The Black Team follow the maknae FD inside a restaurant but this time they keep an eye out for the order the dishes are placed, just like last week … until the maknae FD sets down two dishes at once. HA. Mr. PD encourages them to sit down and enjoy so they begin grilling. As they happily fill their stomachs, they’re completely unaware how simple the mission is: grill some meat and wait.

It’s not long after that the Pink Team follows them to the same place. In the midst of empty threats to eliminate each other, a confused Jae-suk slips, “Kwang-soo’s never been the hero before!” Oops. But, the Black Team succeeds and their next clue directly points to Kang-hee.

Either the Pink Team has a stroke of good luck or the Capable One is really on a roll. They easily pass this food mini mission in one round and everyone heads to the final destination.

 
The phone call timer is ticking down from a few short minutes and each team must pick up their phone call on different floors. All the teams manage to track down the phones and receive their final mission: collect all the bosses’ nametags and find “Lavender.” Kang-hee takes some time to learn some moves on how to take down Yooruce Willis. If all else fails, just poke him in the side. Oh boy, was it always this easy to take down Jae-suk?

The Black Team head up to the 60th floor in a clear elevator and Jae-suk imagines how terrifying it would be to see Spartakooks on the supporting beams outside the elevator. Or worse, climbing the walls like Spiderman.

They take a few precious moments to snack and strategize in the stairwell, and soon enough, they’re chatting about who’s scarier: Jong-kook or Choi Min-soo. Jae-suk says that Jong-kook is a little pipsqueak compared to Min-soo and Kwang-soo adds that he hopes Jong-kook gets old soon, so he’d be easier to physically. Incriminating Kwang-soo is back!

Kwang-soo interjects that he’d like to be known as easygoing too, and apart from his image, he’s really a coldhearted city man. Uh-huh, okay. Back to puppy status please!

Thanks to Kwang-soo’s enormous height, he sticks out like a sore thumb in a crowd. Ji-hyo easily spots him from afar and follows him at a distance. The two teams find themselves separated by a door, and when it opens…there’s pushing, shoving, and yelling on both sides.

Jae-suk calls for a temporary truce, asking for physical evidence of their clues. Suk-jin gladly complies, showing them the “Ugly” clue. They’re pretty sure it’s Kwang-soo – after all, 97% of citizens agree with them. The Blue and Black Team decide to create an alliance and Jae-suk warns Ji-hyo not to betray them again. Even though she protests, Ji Sung adds, “Ji-hyo I’ve seen you on TV before…” Meaning he’s seen the awesome in action.

Woah, talk about being at the right place at the right time! Spy Haroro was able to eavesdrop in on the entire conversation – confirming Kwang-soo as a boss as well as the alliance. They wait for the Black Team, and Jong-kook sweeps behind them to try and eliminate Kwang-soo but fails.

The Blue Team wait for an opportune moment to take out Kang-hee, Suk-jin reaches…and she twirls around in the nick of time, collapsing to the floor.
 
It’s an absolute mess as everyone is trying to size each other up. Ace Ji-hyo takes a risk to eliminate Haha, but she herself gets eliminated for making the wrong choice. Boo.

The only person too scared to put on a faux grand persona is Kwang-soo, frozen in the face of elimination. He says to the VJ, “This is too scary (being the hero!) Don’t make me do it next time!” He even tries to puff up in front of Haha before running away…

…to attempt to hide under that. LOL. Hm… tall Kwang-soo + small bin =  fail. That’s simple math, yea?
At a different location, Suk-jin is spotted by Jong-kook and Haha, who force his own elimination by tearing off Haha’s name tag by his own hand. HAHAHA. So there was this tactic too – smart Running Men! Now only Gary remains… Jong-kook slinks through the crowd and he rips Gary’s name tag off with Ji Sung one step behind him.
 
Jae-suk almost catches Kang-hee, and he calls Kwang-soo to grab the opportunity to take her out if they cross paths. Just like fate, Kwang-soo and Kang-hee run into each other in the stairwell. Oh yeah, Boss against Boss! Kwang-soo gives her the chance to call for help, but Kang-hee cleverly chirps away their location instead.

And I love it how aggressive Kang-hee is and Kwang-soo pleads for his life as the Pink Team gain on him: “I’M the hero today! I’m the hero!” Jae-suk hears the commotion from downstairs and runs up the stairs to save his boss…but it’s no use – he’s too late and the Pink Team rips off Kwang-soo’s name tag.  With that, it ultimately makes the Pink Team the winners!

Those Running Man gold rings are pretty awesome – where can I get one?

Running Man: Episode 53

This is the episode where Choi Min-soo’s dramatic image crumbles to reveal a more humorous face. It’s another race around Kyungjoo as the cast collects suitcases that contain their nametags. It’s action, it’s romance, it’s comedy…!! Ah, I can’t tell what genre it is anymore… EPISODE 53. Broadcast July 24, 2011 What better way is there to start off the day than a fresh cup of a morning mission. Haha and Kwang-soo incredulously respond to the mission card: Enter Choi Min-soo’s room and perform a task. If he wakes up, he’s on your team. The best part is their task – they have to lie next to Min-soo and count to 10. Haha and Kwang-soo creep inside the lion’s den, careful not to awake the sleeping dragon Min-soo. Surely the man ought to be worn out from hunting down the Running Men yesterday, right? You can almost hear the cries of their impending doom when they find that Min-soo’s not in bed, but rather sleeping on the floor. Every little noise and crack puts them on edge and I am so glad not to be in your shoes right now. The level of absurdity increases with each team’s arrival and one team is assigned to sing and dance to SNSD’s “Genie.” Oh Running Man, how you consistently set up your cast for failure. Jong-kook makes everyone, including the staff, take off their shoes so their footfalls wouldn’t be heard in the hallway and Jae-suk prevents Gary from knocking on Min-soo’s door. Everyone passes, and a fear-stricken Haha and Kwang-soo start over again. But they’re not as lucky as Min-soo groggily wakes up from his slumber. It’s so cute how Haha and Kwang-soo downplay their obvious fear by awkwardly pouring on the aegyo (cuteness). Leave it to Min-soo to put them right in their place with a sharp kick to the back of the knee. Lol. The cast heads downstairs to meet their second guest and Min-soo casually tosses, “Oh, Yoon So-yi?” With that anticlimactic introduction, enter actress Yoon So-yi (Warrior Baek Dong Soo, Hero), who is more warmly greeted by some than others. Case in point: Haha proclaims his undying love:”Yoon So-yi, would you be my last love?” So-yi chooses to be on Gary’s team just as Ji-hyo arrives. I absolutely love this girl – she isn’t afraid to hide her disappointment about being teamed with Jong-kook and Suk-jin but she coolly replies to So-yi’s choice: “Oh no, it’s cool – it’s Tuesday.” Today’s main mission is another Kyungjoo race and the cast must pick up a ranked suitcase at each destination and ultimately meet at a water park for a spinoff of Hide-and-Seek. Each suitcase contains a member’s nametag and this time they’re eliminated if someone sticks on their name tag. In the car, Jae-suk comments that Gary is the luckiest guy in the world with two women to love him on Monday (Ji-hyo) and Tuesday (So-yi). Gary replies that he would like someone to love him on Wednesday. Heh. Jae-suk continues that everything in the car is So-yi and she happily responds that Gary is hers but not Jae-suk (since he’s married). Is the Monday Couple in trouble? First stop: Chumsungdae Observatory as Jae-suk’s team drives ahead of Haha’s team. But Min-soo isn’t worried. “Why go early? We can just steal whatever they find.” Spoken like a true Hunter. It’s the return of the Photo Zone mission where one member’s face must fit inside the window of the observatory in order to move on. Commence pulling of hair, pushing, and jumping as the timer ticks down. Jae-suk’s team succeeds first and they grab the highest ranked suitcase. It’s then that Jae-suk has a revelation: What if the suitcases were ranked in accordance to how difficult it is to catch the person. That must mean only one person: Choi Min-soo. Um well…crap. They plead with Mr.PD to exchange it with attempts to bribe him with leftover Baht, but it’s no use – they’re stuck with their choice. The other teams pass after a few more tries. How much do I love that Min-soo’s dark image of a raging tiger is completely dismantled by that giant smile above? Next stop: a nearby restaurant. The maknae FD leads each team inside and sets down their lunch in front of them. The hitch? Create a lettuce wrap in the order each item was placed in front of them. LOL. They can’t even eat lunch without some sort of trap! Both Jae-suk and Haha’s teams call out each item’s order with such conviction that it sends me in giggles to watch how wrong they are. Haha’s wrap is filled with fresh garlic and he momentarily forgets himself when Min-soo says to just swallow it whole. Haha grabs Min-soo by the shirt and thanks his lucky stars because Min-soo laughs and starts crying about being beat up by a little squirt.   Round after round they go and soon they’re feeding each other garlic filled wraps versus paying attention to the task at hand. Min-soo wonders when Jong-kook’s team will arrive and hears that they’ve succeeded and left already. We see that putting the Capable One and the Ace together creates a killer combo as they breeze through the order and pick up their suitcase. Everyone finds their last suitcase at the Teddy Bear Museum and they’re headed to the water park. In each car, they guess which teams holds their nametags and afraid of possibly catching Min-soo. Jong-kook’s taem is relieved that everyone they must catch is relatively doable. Jong-kook hands So-yi’s name to Ji-hyo, who uncertainly quivers, “But So-yi’s good at fighting! She even flies!” Must be all those historical dramas she films.     The storm clouds brew as Jae-suk’s team’s worst nightmares have come true: Min-soo is among those they must catch. Deep breaths, all! The other names are Suk-jin’s and Kwang-soo and So-yi remarks that they’re ranked by age. Her prize? She gets to catch Min-soo. Hahaha. Each team heads off to different spots of the water park to scout each other’s locations. So-yi reasons which team must hold which nametags and Gary blankly stares back at her logical deduction. Oh Gary, you simple, sweet man.   Haha and Kwang-soo walk behind Min-soo with confidence that everyone else is hiding from them. So without any qualms, Haha’s team enjoys their water park experience in the shadow of the Hunter Choi Min-soo. Jae-suk’s team wonders where the Red Team is hiding and we see them playing in another corner of the park. Is anyone paying any attention to the mission? Jae-suk’s team and Haha’s team approach each other with caution and Jae-suk stops them in their tracks – it’s not fair to attack each other when one team is wearing vests. When Haha and Kwang-soo turn around to do so, Jae-suk pounces on Kwang-soo and Haha chases after Gary. Kwangsoo cries out for help to Min-soo, but sadly, he’s too busy in peaceful solace in the wave pool. Both Kwang-soo and Gary are eliminated. Min-soo suggests to Jae-suk to create an alliance against Jong-kook’s team since they are at a disadvantage with two team members each. Jaesuk readily agrees to the offer. But wait, Yooruce Willis, don’t you have Min-soo’s nametag? He waits for his opportune moment with bated breath as Min-soo affixes his microphone. Then, smack! Jaesuk plasters Min-soo’s nametag on his back. Remember that face Jaesuk. It’s gonna haunt you in your dreams. Min-soo retorts that he’d like to be scheduled to appear on Running Man every two months from now on. In a last attempt to buy a bit of time, Min-soo runs up to the incoming Jong-kook’s team, who is already aware of his elimination. Jae-suk, So-yi, and Haha team up to set up an ambush for the red team. In a tussle, both Suk-jin and Ji-hyo are eliminated, leaving Spartakooks as their last target. While they search with tensions running high someone chases after them – it’s Min-soo, who came to ride one of the rides but came to poke a little fun. Three versus one now as Jong-kook spies the other members. He appears like a lightning flash and quickly eliminates Jae-suk with ease. Ah, redemption for Jong-kook! The remaining three circle around each other, waiting for the other to attack first. It’s Jong-kook who leaps towards Haha, making his elimination quick and swift.   Haha sulks, “Jong-kook hyung, why do you always have to win!” and Jong-kook’s heart softens…which gives So-yi a perfect opportunity to slap on Jong-kook’s nametag on his back, which makes Jae-suk’s team the winner! Oof, Jong-kook, you’re losing your touch!

Running Man: Episode 52

Watch your backs Running Men – someone’s hot on your trail. It’s the Hunter vs. the Hunted and the cast is picked off one by one. Who is this mysterious hunter and what does he want with the Running Men? Who will be the victor of this epic battle of agility, speed, and wit?

[Note: It turns out that this week's episode is the 1 year anniversary episode. Oh well. I was misinformed. In any case, it doesn't take away any of the AWESOME that was this episode.]


Episode 52. Broadcast July 17, 2011


We’re back with a traditional opening with the entire cast at Seoul Station. They reminisce about their recent trip to Thailand, still awed by their massive popularity overseas. Kwang-soo mentions the fan who donned his signature mustache, and Gary has a new haircut to match his newly found Hallyu fame.
It’s time to hear about today’s mission: Race to Kyungjoo and find the 7 gold crowns. Find the most and you win! Hold up there Mr. PD, isn’t there a catch? Of course there is. The cast will roll a die at every station and its outcome determines whether they’ll keep going to Kwangjoo with everyone else or find their own way.

The cast relies on rock-paper-scissors to determine who rolls first. Sometimes, you just can’t make this stuff up when you classically see one member fall so short. And that unfortunate member is Ji Suk-jin. He loses out on rock-paper-scissors and rolls a “fail,” which forces him to find alternative transportation.



The other members joke that it would be hilarious (and awkward) if their top star, Jong-kook and their worst, Suk-jin, were eliminated together. It’s as if the variety gods heard their cries and what do you know… Jong-kook loses on another round of rock-paper-scissors and the die. Man can’t catch a break from last week huh?

 

Everyone else is off to Kyungjoo by train and Jae-suk suggests a game to pass the time. They previously picked up a box of sweets, and their roll order depends on which one they pick. It’s enough to set off some anxiety as some members reveal their number and others’ sweets are blank. Finally, it’s between Jae-suk and Ji-hyo and when they pick, it’s Jae-suk who must roll first. Aww, it’s always the person who suggests the game!

 

They’ve got no time to dilly dally at the next stop and Jae-suk reminds the others that no matter who is eliminated, the remaining members will pile back into train without any qualms. Jae-suk throws the die into the air…and the others zoom back into the train car faster than you can say “fail.” LOL. Jae-suk is eliminated third, sulking along the Sandglass soundtrack, and a sweet in his hand.


Haha suggests that they choose the next order by voting on who they’d like to see eliminated. With these four, you’re bound to get some irregular answers: “Haha. Because it’s Haha,” “Gary. Because he’s ugly,” and finally (the best, I think), “A bad personality, scolds (me) all the time, and a sharp stare…Chun Sung-im (Ji-hyo’s real name).” You can guess whose is whose.

The eliminated think of ways to get to Kyungjoo. Jong-kook and Suk-jin decide to arrive in style by plane and Jae-suk opts for a later train. Slick, slick Running Men.

 

Back to the remaining four, Ji-hyo rolls safe from elimination and in pure glee Kwang-soo rolls…a “fail.” Just like before, the others zip back towards the train without looking back. His elimination is like the shot heard ’round the world. Poor puppy. It only gets worse when someone recognizes Jae-suk, asks to take a picture with him, and hands the phone to Kwang-soo. Get this boy a teddy bear!

Everyone is racing to Kyungjoo and it’s Ji-hyo’s turn to spin again. But of course Gary slips in before she rolls, “(Haha) get lost if Ji-hyo’s safe (from elimination).” Ji-hyo rolls safely and jumps into Gary’s arms. Long live the Monday Couple! Alas, Haha is eliminated fifth and the corresponding number is placed on his back. Hmm, something’s afoot, methinks.



Who makes it to the Kyungjoo amusement park first? It’s Jong-kook and Suk-jin who traveled by plane. The other members follow in after them: it’s time to look for the crowns! The Monday Couple look mighty happy to be searching for the crowns together. Gary attempts to scare Ji-hyo to poke a little fun, but he spots the crown before he gets the chance, much to Ji-hyo’s chagrin.

But there’s something, or rather someone, lurking in the amusement park, carefully tracking their every move. Leave it to the Capable One Jong-kook to notice that the scenery is eerie, as if people will disappear one by one. Well now that you mention it…



It’s Sukjin who’s afraid of roaming alone and calls Jong-kook but doesn’t notice the lingering shadow behind him. It’s the hunter! Suk-jin is no match for the hunter aka guest, actor Choi Min-soo (Warrior Baek Dong Soo, Father’s House). Choi Min-soo says: “You were the first…” and we flash back to the very beginning, when Sukjin rolled his fate and when Choi Min-soo received his mission: take the members out in order. Now the pieces are starting to come together…

How is it this man is so nimble and agile? Choi Min-soo is just climbing over gates and traverses through tall grass as if they were annoying little obstacles in his path. He’s a man on a mission and his next target is Jong-kook. The captions play up their potentially epic battle: It’s Hunter versus Spartakooks and Min-soo’s voiceover narrates that between beasts, there exists a different language…

 

Which is why I love Jong-kook’s transformation from a manly man from one second, to an obedient puppy the next. Jong-kook catches on fairly quickly and sans an epic battle, is taken away by men in black. Thus is the swift and quick end to Jong-kook.

This man must have keen hunter instincts or something because he spots Ji-hyo dragging two scaredy cats, Haha and Kwang-soo, to an amusement park ride in the distance. Min-soo: “The scared stick together.” True that, brother. Then suddenly, insight. Haha figures out that Min-soo must eliminate them in accordance to the order on their t-shirts. He doesn’t worry since Jong-kook is tough to catch. Oh, how little you know, Haroro!



It takes a dangerous close call for everyone to refocus on the mission at hand: Find the seven gold crowns. Come on, time’s a-tickin’! Jae-suk gets to work but he walks right up to where Min-soo is hiding. Yooruce Willis is an easy catch for Min-soo. A terrified Jae-suk asks to confirm if his mission is to hunt down the Running Men. Min-soo: “What number are you?” Jae-suk: “3.” Min-soo. “Then you’re right…”



In jail, Choi Min-soo takes a breather with the eliminated, educating them about all things Hunter. He chastises Jae-suk that he talks too much, calling him “5 mm deep,” as in, shallow. Oof. Min-soo mentions that fish that swim in shallow water move rather carelessly whereas deep-sea fish move in swift, calculated movements. When Suk-jin mentions, “Doesn’t it differ on the species of fish?” he’s met with a sharp smack to his thigh. HA.

It’s Jong-kook’s uncomfortable and awkward sitting position in this entire conversation that has me in a fit of giggles. Never has a man so dominating look so timid.

 

Haha did you really think a snailing train ride would save you from the Hunter’s grasp? It’s easy pickings for Min-soo to hop across the wall and capture Haha – for fun. Oh my god, dear man, you’re giving ME a heart attack! Evidently, they’re neighbors and it looks like Min-soo harbored some resent towards Haha for not greeting him properly. To remedy this social sin, Min-soo employs Haha to bring him Kwang-soo instead.



Kwang-soo is hiding in a corner, hoping to remain alive. He heads towards the carousel, and just when he turns the corner, something scares the living daylights out of him. It’s Min-soo, who has been patiently waiting inside the booth. Min-soo even offers that they “ride the carousel for a minute,” even breaking out into a smile before he rips off Kwang-soo’s nametag. I can’t tell if you’re being cute or scary anymore Choi Min-soo…

Okay, this man is not someone to be trifled with. Haha comes back, confident that he’ll take his elimination like a man, and Min-soo offers him a last chance to run for it. The offer shakes up his confidence and Min-soo taunts, “If I chase you…who do you think will win?”

 

That’s enough for Haha to run away and after some time, a noise in the darkness jostles him and he screams, “Just take my nametag!” Min-soo hunts him down a second time just as easily as the first. Two
 Running Men left and just one crown…



Gary realizes that they haven’t checked inside anywhere. Hand-in-hand, Gary and Ji-hyo enter the haunted house. Slowly they make their way through and BAM! Min-soo jumps out in front of them, capturing Gary, and Ji-hyo evades the attack. Some creepy lines later, a smiling Min-soo says that he’s fond of the Monday Couple. Heh, cute.

It’s now Ji-hyo versus Min-soo in a last stand and Ji-hyo’s heart is racing – and points to her belly. Oh Ji-hyo. Keke. She continues to search all over the park for the remaining crown, all the while, we hear Min-soo’s booming voice calling out her name.


Aha! Now this is Ace Ji-hyo as she removes the last crown from its hiding place. Now it’s a matter of just setting it down with the others…

Ace Ji-hyo darts across the park, slinking her way through openings, setting a false trail for Min-soo. Will she get there first? Will she be caught by Min-soo? We see her running as fast as she can and sets down the last crown, sealing the victory for the Running Men! Yes, Ace Ji-hyo! This is why we love you!
