This week in Running Man, we have five male guests, together with the Running Man members, vying for the title "most popular man" among them all. The Running Man staff did a survey on who's the most popular among a thousand women in their teens to those in the fifties. The Running Man staff asked the respondents "If you were to be born again, who would you date among these men?" The Running Man staff has the answer, and the mission for the men is to guess the chronological order of the result.
The men of Running Man + the guests had their individual entrances in the opening, with Miss Mong hosting.
Yoo Jae Suk strutting his thang.
Lee Kwang Soo looking like a model (that he is).
Ji Suk Jin and his cheesy smile.
Haha the kid daddy.
Kang Gary. <3
Kim Jong Kook, the One Man.
Our first guest, Lee Juck. He showed off his piano-playing skills.
Kim Kwang Kyu ahjussi.
Jang Ki Ha the good-looking guy with the brains.
Jun Hyun Moo, the candidate for 11th place.
And lastly we have Muzy.
As I said earlier, the mission of these 11 men is to guess their rankings. Through other missions, they will be able to gain hints as to who's in what place.
Their first mission location is in a dance studio, where the ladies dance around to get fit.
Their first mission is to do anything that they can and in anyway just to make sure that only 2 feet are on the ground. The catch is that they have to use the accupressure mats again. They strategized and then came up with this position.
After they succeeded, they all shouted because of the pain.
When the boys were all noisy and bickering because of the second round of the mission, Miss Mong MC-nim shouted at them so that they would all shut up. Haha! Song Ji Hyo power.
Kim Jong Kook volunteered to be the one who would take all the weight and only his one foot would be on the ground. After the pain that this mission have caused to everyone, they succeeded and got good hints for their final mission, which is to guess their rankings.
Their hints were drawings of kids of the 7th to 11th placers.
Their next mission is a quiz game where they have categories and points corresponding to the level of the questions.
Jang Ki Ha showed off his brainy side as he answered the hard English question correctly for 5 points.
Yoo Jae Suk also managed to answer an economics question correctly.
Lee Juck also had a correct answer.
When it was Ji Suk Jin's turn, he was not sure of the answer.
Kwang Soo volunteered to answer because he seemed to know what the correct answer was.
So the RM staff gave him a chance but if he gets the answer wrong, the staff will subtract 1 point from their points. Kwang Soo answered wrong, and so air from the blow drying machine came onto their faces, and 1 point was subtracted.
Kang Gary correctly answered, with luck, since he wasn't really sure of his answer.
Muzy did not get the right answer, which is regrettable since most of the other people knew what the right answer was.
Jang Ki Ha went for it again for a redemption round and he got a difficult test question right again!
Haha wasn't able to answer a nonsense question (which is his specialty) correctly.
Finally, Kim Kwang Kyu ahjussi almost got the answer right, which is Neil Armstrong. Instead, he said "Will" Armstrong, and so he got it wrong. He was pretty confident, but it was unfortunate (and really funny) that he still got it wrong.
Running Man also did the survey in Ewha Women's University, and apparently Kang Gary got the most votes! (yay)
For the next mission, they got out from their vans one by one and received the mission individually.
Here's Jang Ki Ha asking around Ewha University. Their mission is to get a girl student from Ewha and that girl must have unique surnames since what they have to do is to bring these students together and the students should not have the same surnames. This is quite hard to do because in Korea, it is easy to find people whose surnames are Kim, Lee or Park, and somehow hard to find people with "rare" surnames.
So far, these group of students brought by Jae Suk, Lee Juck, Haha, Kwang Soo, and Muzy have different surnames.
Kwang Soo brought a student whose hometown is the same as his (Namyang-ju) and so the other members asked her what Kwang Soo's image was in Namyang-ju. The student answered that "he's in Running Man" and that's it. So Kwang Soo touched her shoulders in an attempt to make the question clear for her. This gesture by Kwang Soo looked like he's threatening the girl, which was pointed out by the other members. Haha! Kwang Soo and his old "bad boy" image.
Kwang Kyu seemed to have fans when he walked around Ewha U and so he's pleased about it.
Jong Kook had many fans following him around as he was looking for someone to bring.
Kim Kwang Kyu entered the scene and he looked like he brought his daughter with her. Haha!
They're almost complete with Jang Ki Ha, Ji Suk Jin, Jong Kook, and Kim Kwang Kyu's girl students.
They had a break in filming to change the tapes, but since some other cameras are still rolling, these were still caught in the scenes. Kim Kwang Kyu interviewed the student that he got and asked what her father's job is.
This girl with the same surname as Ji Suk Jin did her make up while on a break.
Everyone was looking at her doing her make up and so Song Ji Hyo told on them.
Ji Suk Jin told the student that she was pretty after doing the make up.
The student finally turned around and showed off her "new look."
The last two members arrived finally and so the student were interviewed.
Gary's girl student had the most unique Korean surname that I've ever heard. Her surname was "Jae Gal," which has two characters and I'm used to knowing their surnames only had one syllable.
Since everyone had different surnames, their mission was a success!
They had a photo-op session for fan service.
Yoo Jae Suk came up with a system of taking photos with the students. The men will be going around (in rotation) and the students will just stay on their seats. A funny system but effective!
Everyone had their smiles on.
Jun Hyun Moo took pictures by winking and doing the "peace" sign, which was really cheesy by the way. His (cheesy) action will get a grave repercussion later on.
The final fan service, group picture!
After the photo-op session, the students will then vote for the 1st rank and the 11th (last). The first girl voted for Yoo Jae Suk as first and Jun Hyun Moo as last.
After voting, she immediately walked away in a chic manner, which caused laughter. Everyone must do it that way, someone said, so that it wouldn't hurt as much being voted as last place.
Muzy was also voted as last place.
Kim Kwang Kyu was also voted l1th place and so he threw a tantrum!
Jun Hyun Moo was getting first place in the vote for 11th place, and he's not pleased about that. Haha!
Overall, he got most votes as the last place from the girl students. He threw a huge tantrum especially because even the girl whom he brought in the set voted for him as last place. This was indeed the consequence of his cheesy poses for the camera.
Now for the final mission. They have to decide and guess who they will put in each positions based from the hints that they got. It was somehow clear who are in those 1st to 6th place and 8th to 10th based from the hints. What they're concerned about was the 7th and 11th place. It was either Ji Suk Jin or Jun Hyun Moo in both places.
In the last minute, they decided to put Ji Suk Jin in the 11th place and Jun Hyun Moo in the 7th.
Indeed, everything was correct except for these two places that they're unsure of, and so Miss Mong created the thrill by announcing it last.
The men won against the writers because they guessed right. It was clear that Jun Hyun Moo should be in the 7th place but because of his bad rating from the Ewha students, they were all skeptic about him being in the 7th place. Still, they got the ranking correct and so they won!
Everyone got gold as prizes, and even if they're ranked that way (especially those in the last places), they still got gold. Win-win!
Next week, we have Kang Gary as the main character, and apparently he was kidnapped. Gil, his partner in LeeSsang will be the guest for next week's Christmas episode. Woohoo!
Since in Christmas episodes Gary does well, maybe that's the reason why he was kidnapped. Just a speculation though. Nonetheless, I'm still excited for next week! Will it be another "Gary Christmas?" Let's find out in the next episode.
