This week's variety : Running Man (ep 109)



This week's variety will be a section where we recap about the best variety show of the week. This week's choice is no doubt Running Man.

Variety of The Week : Running Man
Episode : 109
Guest : Son Yeon Jae & Park Tae Hwan 
Mission : Off-Site Training


Gary is finally back after 2 weeks break. First day back on set for Gary and he declared that Running Man as his province, awww. We've missed you, welcome back!

We're introduced to today's first guest that made his iconic entrance all completed with his signature headphones- non-other than South Korean Olympic swimmer, Park Tae Hwan. The moment Park Tae Hwan came in, all the running man members started to run toward to him but Yoo Jae Suk as usual was the first to be able to reach out to him and feel the need to protect the country's pride and athelete and acted like they're close and all. I don't know why but this trick is funny everytime. In the end, they couldn't even get a handshake out of Tae Hwan.


Funny that Suk Jin brought out the fact that Kim Jong Kook's body look like elementary school's kid besides Tae Hwan. True that, hahaha.

"It looks like you have to exercise more, " said Yoo Hyuk while patting Jong Kook's shoulder


Then we're introduced to the 2nd guest of the day,the rythm gymnastic angel - Son Yeon Jae. As usual the Running Man members went wild over her like any of the female guests had to go through. Haha even requested to just be a playboy for another day but the rest reminded him that his last love now is Byul and congratulated him on his marriage. Congratulations from us too Haha!


It was Son Yeon Jae to introduce herself but even with the simplest "Annyeong Haseyo", the members went crazy. Gary however was happy that he doesn't have any spouse.. 

Gary : I don't have anyone to care about. 
HaHa : Then get back with Ji Hyo ! 
Gary : Me ? Why ??!


Haha faced a full-force backlash as Tae Hwan and Yeon Jae said that they both want to take out HaHa's nametag first.  Yeon Jae was for a very valid reason, HaHa didn't give her his autograph to her when she asked him when she was in elementary school. Haha was taken aback as he didn't remember doing so. Oh Haha, you better drive yourself down the memory lane to remind yourself back or simply give your autograph to Yeon Jae cause kids do have better memories than anybody else. 


Haha tried apologizing but the members said it was too late.
"It's okay. Your sin is forgiven."


Pd-nim announced that today's team division is 3:3:3 where one of the team will consist of only the running man members. Tae Hwan and Yeon Jae played scissors-papers-stone and the winner will get to choose their team members first. Yeon Jae won the first round and chose Yoo Hyuk. Tae Hwan won the 2nd round and chose Gary. As a result, Yeon Jae's team consist of Lee Kwang Soo and Yoo Jae Suk while Tae Hwan's team members are Kim Jong Kook and Gary. The remainings - Song Ji Hyo, Ji Suk Jin and Haha formed a team. 


The first mission was Spring's off-season training and there're two games. The first one was the Trampoline's noraebang - All 3 members have to jump on  the trampoline while singing loudly to the song of their choice. Marks are given for dancing too. The 2nd one- a member has to walk on the water using water ball and the other member will swim to the other end using water mat and will pick up the 3rd member and bring her/him back to the beginning. 

First mission : 

Team Tae Hwan & Team Yeon Jae chose to go to the trampoline noraebang and the pd-nim was jus focusing on this two teams as the other team's scene was not aired. Funny thing was Tae Hwan knew that it's gonna happen and was worried whether the other part is going to to get their airtime. 


It was the 2nd round for team Yeon Jae and they decided to stay calm while waiting for the results to be announced (parodying the Olympic games) and far below from their expectation, they got only 32 marks. Hahahah..


Team Tae Hwan chose Run To You and they passed 80 marks thanks to Yeon Jae's team that gave them 3 marks for the dance. Heh they regretted it a little bit. 


Before leaving to the next game, Tae Hwan sweetly agreed to Yeon Jae to give her 8 marks for the dance in advance. With that Yeon Jae's team was able to advance to the next game. 


At the swimming pool, we were shown to Marine boy's failure in the water. The first I say. 


Surprisingly Song Ji Hyo's team made it first and they were given a chance to decrease or increase the sign of someone's nametag. Oopss, they've requested for Tae Hwan's nametag to be ENLAAARGED. They're not kidding when they said enlarge cause look 

Tae Hwan : I can fly with this thing 



The 2nd round of the off-site training is Summer's off-season training at the restaurant. The game was to play Alggagi and win it in order to obtain ingredients for their meal. 


In the end, Team Tae Hwan's won almost all the ingredients. Gah now is there anything that Tae Hwan cannot do? He's even good at Alggagi.  Because Tae Hwan's team won 1st at this game, he got to change back his nametag to a very much smaller one.


They moved to their next destination which was the ice skating rink. This time it's the Winter Off-Season training. The game was Human Curling. 2 of the members of each team needed to sit into the bucket and the remaining 1 member will push each of them on the ice. The team which a member is the closest to the finishing line will win the game. 


For the first round, Song Ji Hyo's team won as she was right on the line. 


Yeon Jae then joined Lee Kwang Soo to play around on the ice until they actually ended up crashing into the pd-nim. Pd-nim blushed when Yeon Jae crashed into him! Aww, cute.


The 2nd round it was between Team Tae Hwan and Team Ji Hyo. Tae Hwan and Jong Kook both discussed their plans to win the game, however Jong Kook was disqualified because he and Suk Jin both fell off from the bucket. At the end, Ji Hyo's team won as she was closest to the line. 

Both team ( Yeon Jae's and Ji Hyo's ) agreed that it was right to enlarge Kim Jong Kook's name tag. Love it when they do this kind of thing. 


The last missions was Autumn's off-site training. This time it took place in a magical Pocheon 'H' Island. This is the last mission where they finally will tear off other group's nametag. The survival game needed them to find special water bottle(s) that contains special liquid in order to eliminate other people from the game indirectly. But it's always okay to walk up to Jong Kook and try tearing off his  nametag.  We'll see if that's possible.
The special  liquid will need to be exchanged with a special weapon at the witch's house which of course where Dong Wan FD comes in.


Jae Suk to his VJ :  I'm sorry but who are you shooting right now? What's wrong with you? I hope it's not because you're getting married soon that you're being like this.. 

Kwon Ryul didn't even bother and keep on shooting Yeon Jae only, haha. 

Kwang Soo was the first one to find the special water bottle but it turned out that the blue color only means enlargement of nametag. What's his luck really guys? 

The 2nd one revealed that found the special bottle was Haha. It turned out that the red bottle means if a person Haha choose tries to tear Haha's nametag, he/she will be out instead . Haha chose Tae Hwan but it turned out someone already chose Tae Hwan (big reversal coming up in the next episode guys?). In place of Tae Hwan, Haha chose Jae Suk. What Haha didn't know was Jae Suk was near there watching his doings. 


The rest of the race will be continued next week, so stay tuned!
