In a recent 5 episode (if i’m not wrong), Ye Eun has to take the penalty on behalf of Jong Kook since he’s going to LA. Out of curiosity, what business does Jong Kook have in LA which makes him go there so often? I pretty sure Haha is joking when he said that Jong Kook visited her daughter there. Anyone have any idea on this?

I mean there’s no official announcement but they also insinuated that she is. She’s not a rental member but she’s always there. When Ji Hyo also become a running man member there’s also no official announcement in the episode (official member at 7th ep?) so maybe Ye Eun is now?

I also want to ask if she is well loved in Korea? She looked like a rising star tho. (The members obviously like her.)

And I wanna love her too if she’s there to stayyy. Can anyone drop reasons to love her because I really want to! And maybe some of her other show so I can get to know her?

(This is childish but I don’t want my love for the other members and the show (unhealthy love i suppose coz come on my fave episode are the one without guests 😭) stop me from enjoying the show just because I’m kinda not used to a new person being always in the center of attention - like guests always come and go so that was fine - but she’s like a permanent guests now and I wanna wanna like her and enjoy her too.)

Please help this immature girl out. ( I mean me. ) Thanks! :)

I wanted to make a JSJ appreciation post because I was watching his YouTube and I love him as an entertainer, but it got me thinking on if he’s as beloved in South Korea. Obviously Jae Seok is the main guy but Seok Jin is so well rounded, and he’s such a good entertainer.

He leads situations really well, he plays along with all sorts of jokes, and he’s just naturally funny. I along with a lot of others wish he would’ve won the Daesang a couple of years back when he was a bit more active but he seems to only be more comfortable and funnier now.

On his channel he mentioned potential retirement and I was just wondering if he’d ever win the Daesang in his career. I wish he would, I think it would be as touching as when Park Na Rae won but I’m not sure if it’ll happen.

This is in no way an invitation for malicious comments whatsoever. I’ve been a fan of RM since 2014 but have stopped recently when Kwangsoo and Somin left.

Recently though, I’ve noticed the addition of new members like Kanghoon and then Ye-run right after. I haven’t watched much of episodes where they’re in, only clips I see on YouTube and Instagram due to work and all. So was kinda wondering why Ye-Eun was casted. Did she had a popularity surge in Korea? I searched for whatever works she may have been involved in but the net doesn’t show me much for my personal research. I’d love to get to know her more.

Anyone know which episode where jae suk said something like "sylvia kristel noona". I dont understand when i watched it previously haha but need a rewatch thanks

long ago I watched a RM episode, which I only remember a bit about that episode. Only thing I remember is the members were wearing traditional Korean clothings and were horseback riding(only some of them, iirc) around at a palace(not sure) while having conversations between the members.

That's all I could remember, I hope someone could find that exact episode for me, thank you in advance :)

Edit But sorry in advance, if it turns out to not be a Running Man episode

This is not a hate post but I just want to highlight some issues I feel have started since hyung in pd has become main pd.

Hyungin PD has been there for a long time now but I cannot help but think about all the changes that have become so apparent.

When it comes to planning, I would say, sometimes the episodes have been terrible. I have watched rm for a long time now, ofc so many things have changed, but I feel planning should've been better. It was good for a few episodes and eventually it goes back to a bad planned episode. The editing of the episodes have become so bad. They don't show the penalty, they sometimes don't even show why most important things changed. Like in ep 715, I couldn't understand how some things happened as they were literally skipped and not shown.

Also, whenever any idols came, they had really bad concepts. Saw this when BTS Jin came, everything looked so forced. Same with TXT, those members are fun but the episode was plain boring except a few parts. Same goes with BSS who came and they literally had to workout almost the whole day. BSS are literally the most funniest idols and ik for a fact they won't be going there again. Same with Le Serrafim, they weren't aware of the whole scenerio and it would've been better if that episode was shot only with the members.

They should have done some research and I feel those episodes could've been better. I don't see them coming back again on RM for promotion again for a long time.

Also, another issue which I feel is that they have stopped updating YT videos with English subtitles. Running man editors cut vids used to be subbed within 1-2 days under Bopil PD. The videos haven't been subbed for more than a year except some of them. I used to watch these videos a lot, but most of them aren't even subbed.

Running man has a strong international fanbase and they already knew that yt had good views. These all are now affected. Even as an intl viewer myself, I've stopped going on their yt page, I just know they aren't subbed. It's disappointing tbh.

I hope she works in those things. No hate here, although episodes are getting a bit good now, I hope she works on these things.

So what I'm about to say does not include all runners but I noticed since last year maybe idk until now people suddenly started going against LKS its like suddenly some people just decided to hate on him, always saying he'll never make it or he lost his career etc when he's gaining a lot of recognition And as I said not all runners but y'know a bunch of fans started degrading him forgetting his past efforts and I've never seen them doing that to any of the other members, he'll even somin didn't receive this much after she quit "she had enough" All I'm saying is kwangsoo didn't do anything wrong and he already gave his best and spent his youth giving his all to the viewers.. so supporting him like any other actor and letting him go without this bitterness is something he more than deserves :)

Sorry I couldn't find a monthly song request megathread. Would appreciate if someone can help identify one of the songs played in the most recent ep (724). During the soapy water picture game when the task was to create the biggest heart, what song was playing when Woo Do Hwan chose Ye Eun instead of YJS.

Thanks in advance.

Idk if this is from running man but looks very familiar and wanting to know if its from RM and which episode cause want to get a higher resolution gif

I'm hosting Friendsgiving this year and I want to play some running man games with my friends. There's going to be 8 people playing the games (I will be on the side talking). Any recommendations for indoor games? Preferably ones that you split into teams.

Hi all I’m looking for an episode which I can’t seem to find. In this episode, Jae suk is the first to become king. Members have to obey his orders. If they find votes around the place, they are able to vote him out. I think kwang soo or another member became king at one point and gave money to the other members to run errands but they pretended that they were “attacked” and “lost the money”. I think jong kook was last to be king. Any idea which episode? Please forgive me if some of the facts are wrong.

What are some song ji hyo best episodes?

Gonna have a party soon and thought RM challenges, games or missions would be fun.

My birthday is coming up, and I want to watch at least 3 running man episodes with my family. They don't watch Running Man, and one of them never really enjoys comedy things. So I ask? What in your opinions would you show them so they enjoy it. I think most of the ones with Gary and Joongi are incredibly funny, and a start to 'korean comedy variety shows'.

But I would love suggestions of 3 of the funniest episodes in your opinion.

and wow this is probably JSJ’s best win since the start of this show (I’m still rewatching since the first episode so idk about in the future)

I know who she is but watching her on running man reminds me of So min 🤔 , great episode anyway 🔥

Been watching since ep 1 and haven’t had so much laughter in recent times than the latest episode. Looks like the PD is finally trying new themes (next week’s episode looks promising too) and getting funny guests on the show.

Does anyone remember the episode where they played a group game that had Jihyo blindfolded and touched members hands I think? And then she tried to identify each. Then they'll win a backpack after every mission. And then I remembered Jongkook not wanting to carry the backpack gave it to Kwangsoo and it turns out the backpack contained hints regarding the final race. I've been wanting to rewatch it because it was a fun episode, thank you.
