Seok Jins of Running Man and BTS finally met on broadcast.
According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings agency on Nov 7th, the latest episode of SBS entertainment program “Running Man” which aired the previous day, recorded 4.8% of viewer rating nationwide. This is a 1.5% increase from its previous episode.
The episode on this day was decorated with the theme of “Seok Jin VS Seok Jin Race,” where Ji Seok Jin and Jin, whose real name is Seok Jin, clashed with each other as team leaders, drawing interest. Without knowing who was in the cars, the members decided on their team based on the remaining seats of each car. Yoo Jae Seok, Haha, and Song Ji Hyo boarded the car with Ji Seok Jin, while Kim Jong Kook, Yang Se Chan, and Jeon So Min became the same team as Jin. Ji Seok Jin’s team members was frustrated that they were on a different team as Jin, but they cheered when they found out that they could change the team with a transfer ticket.
Jin and Ji Seok Jin also revealed their friendship with each other and shared that Jin even paid when they went out for a drink. Ji Seok Jin explained, “I was about to go downstair (to pay), but he said he would pay for it,” and Jin drew laughter with a sly joke, “Shouldn’t a superstar pay for that?”
The first mission was optional foot volleyball. Jin’s team won after an unexpected slapstick, but in the process, Ji Seok Jin showed his desire for lunch and used a transfer ticket to exchange team with Jin. However, Jin also said, “Isn’t this crossing the line?” and immediately used his transfer ticket, adapting to “Running Man.”
After that, Jin’s team has also won the second mission “No, No” game. When attacked with “You actually like RM the most in your team, right?” Jin said, “No, I don’t think so. I don’t think I like RM. Why is he so smart? So annoying.” Jin’s humorous answer succeeded in defensing his team. In the last mission, Jin, who became a paper doll in front of Kim Jong Kook, who he met in the final game as his opponent, made everyone laugh. This scene took the highest viewer rating of 6.5% per minute. In the end, Jin was dragged around by Kim Jong Kook with Yoo Jae Seok and lost.
The losing team received the final penalty, and in the process, Jin avoided the penalty by using the transfer ticket again, but Yang Se Chan, who received the penalty instead of Jin, summoned Ji Seok Jin with the transfer ticket given to him by Kim Jong Kook. In the end, Ji Seok Jin received the penalty for Jin instead.
“I’ve been wanting to appear on ‘Running Man’ for a long time, and thank you so much for inviting me. I would appreciate it if the audience show a lot of love for ‘Running Man’ and the episode where I appear.”
