As previously announced, actor Byun Woo-seok, who is receiving huge love from the public with his performance as Seonjae in the drama “Lovely Runner”, appeared as a guest. Returning to “Running Man” for the first time in two years, the actor stimulated excitement by wearing a school uniform to look like Seonjae and challenging a skit.
“Running Man” members were also anticipated to meet Byun Woo-seok. Yoo Jae-suk wondered, “How nice it is to carry someone on your back?”, mentioning the drama’s title. As soon as he met Byun Woo-seok, Yoo Jae-suk rushed to him and said, “Give me a piggyback”, drawing laughter. In particular, Haha took a selfie when sitting next to Byun Woo-seok. The members and the production staff also took good care of Byun Woo-seok during the race.
In the next game, Byun Woo-seok failed to guess the prices of the food and had to watch “Running Man” members’ mukbang. Noticing Yoo Jae-suk play unique tricks to “hunt” foods, Byun Woo-seok also joined the ‘hunting’, making everyone burst into laughter. During the race, the members kept praising Byun Woo-seok’s visual. Looking at the actor from behind, Yoo Jae-suk said, “I can tell that he’s handsome just by looking at the back of his head”.
Byun Woo-seok was on the same team as Haha and Yoo Jae-suk in the final mission and based on a last-minute hint, he carried Yoo Jae-suk to run toward the finish line and won. At the end of the broadcast, the actor expressed his gratitude to “Running Man”, saying “Coming here again after two years, I’ve had so much fun”.
