Running Man (런닝맨)

(that you want to hold up quietly...)

- Kwang Soo isn't in the photo. - What do we do?

(With the people who are like family,)

(Haha, Jee Seok Jin, Yu Jae Seok, 3991, Lee Kwang Soo)

If you don't know what to do, make a V shape.

Can't we do something cute and refreshing?

Haha, did you know we'd be taking photos today?

I had no idea.

You're lying. Then why are you so dressed up?

It's a family photo.

- Is this right? - I'm not in the photo.

Is there a family like this?

(The Chattering Special from last week got great responses.)

(I also want to watch the scenes that were fast-forwarded.)

(I bet all the scenes that were cut off are also fun.)

(So we decided to release the scenes that were cut off last week.)

(The difference between the early days and current Running Man)

We've come this far talking about Seok Jin.

We just keep talking.

We've been doing Running man...

- for 11 years. - It's been 11 years.

A lot of viewers and fans have watched...

and supported our show so far.

It's so fun to talk.

- This is all thanks to them. - Of course.

But in the early stage of our show...

- It was totally different. - Even though...

the basic theme is similar,

- a lot of things have changed. - It has changed a lot.

At first, it was mainly about the Name Tag Elimination.

- Right. - And it was all about characters.

We rarely talk back then.

- We didn't talk a lot back then. - We thought...

it was fun to talk, but they cut...

- most of it out. - Right.

And we mostly focused...

- on our guests. - Exactly.

So that's what a TV show is all about. And we still do that.

What really matters is...

- what our viewers find interesting. - Sure.

That's what we focus on when it comes to editing.

So why do you think we are having a talk like this?

- This is... - It means this is...

- what our viewers want to watch. - They like it.

That's how a TV show works.

This is when Seok Jin and I opened up to each other.

We all had our own characters,

and Seok Jin became the race starter.

And I always followed him.

We were necessary for the race. We're the ones who started races.

So we became the prison members.

You two had a lot of talk in the prison.

I still remember the day when I was eliminated...

even before the lights were set up in the prison.

So Chan Hee was like this.

- "What?" - Right.

"Are you here already?"

- "Go back to the race." - Do you remember that?

- "Come back in again." - That's how...

Seok Jin and I bonded.

We were really sad.

I was really embarrassed to say "Race start" to the camera.

I know. It was hard to accept that.

(Advice from the married men for Se Chan and Jong Kook)

Se Chan, am I on your list or not?

I don't have a list.

I mean, am I on your list?

You? No.

I don't have a list or anything.

I'm not seeing anyone, and...

Isn't it that you're seeing someone?

I'm not seeing anyone. It's been more than two years.

- Really? - And people want to set me up,

but for some reason, I'm being calculative.

- Why? - I don't know. It's strange.

- When I meet someone... - You're being cautious.

Right. It's a little...

- I know I shouldn't be doing this. - I have to tell you this.

I want to say this to you, So Min, and Ji Hyo.

You should date a lot of people when you can.

- Right. I agree. - You should see many people.

Once you get married, you should devote yourself to your family.

- So you should see a lot of people. - Do you regret it then?

- No. - So you didn't see many people?

Is that it?

I mean,

you should see many people,

so you'll be able to recognize...

someone you're right for you.

You should see more people, Jong Kook.

- Why aren't you seeing anyone? - Well...

- Maybe he's seeing someone. - It's not easy...

to meet someone for people of my age.

- I'm afraid. - I understand him though.

I understand Jong Kook can feel that way.

I totally understand.

I was going to set him up with someone,

- but he said no. - Forget it.

He wouldn't even go on a date.

He only wants to meet someone spontaneously.

- That's the only thing he wants. - When someone sets me up,

- I want to run away. - He doesn't want that.

Then how would you meet a girl?

I can meet someone by chance.

I think he just wants...

to meet someone when he has dinner with others or something.

- Spontaneously. - Right.

He meets her at dinner several times,

and then he can take her out.

- That's what I'd like to do. - Spontaneous meetings?

It has to be spontaneous.

I don't want others to set me up with someone.

Then you should join a club or something.

What kind of club would he join?

- Like a cycling club? - He always goes to a gym.

- Cycling. - He only does YouTube...

- and TV shows. - Once the COVID-19 pandemic ends,

- Then... - he can meet...

the subscribers of his channel.

- That must be fun. - If I keep doing it,

I will meet someone.

(If I keep doing it, I will meet someone.)

No, Jong Kook should be...

alone just like he's been.

He gives up.

He should just...

enjoy his life alone.

- All right. - Okay?

Chattering.

- Chatter. - This is a chat.

(The beneficiaries of "Family Outing")

Now that I'm in a van with Jong Kook,

- it reminds me of "Family Outing". - I know.

- These fields. - The back seats of the van.

Look at the fields.

"Family Outing" was really hard.

- I know. - I watched it on TV.

Now I can tell you.

When I did "Family Outing" with Jong Kook...

- We got exhausted on the way. - Exactly.

- Did you shoot it for two days? - Yes. For two days.

And it took us like 4 or 5 hours to get to the destination.

- It must've been hard. - Before we even started...

I was really hungry before we started cooking dinner.

I guess so. You didn't even eat.

And you had to go to work early in the morning.

Exactly.

- It was crazy. - It was thrilling...

when you decided the person to work.

It was really hard.

We really hated it.

They were upset when they got picked.

Seriously,

they all turned their faces away.

- Because... - When we decided it.

We got to sleep only for a couple of hours.

- That sounds tough. - If I get to work in the morning...

and cook breakfast,

- It just kills you. - that means...

- I can sleep only for a few hours. - You couldn't get enough sleep.

But as a viewer, I really liked the show.

I liked it too.

I see.

So I cooked a lot.

Because they felt comfortable around you.

And we had guests there.

- So he had to guide them. - Right. I had to do it.

Jae Seok took care of them.

It was really fun when Jang Hyuk was a guest.

Hyuk was really fun.

So we couldn't...

do the show for a long time.

That's right.

- It must've been hard. - Because it was tough.

I could see that it was hard.

- And we had to go far. - It was too far.

And do you know what's funny?

We filmed the show...

- for two days there. - Right.

So our managers and stylists didn't have anything to do.

- So they dated each other... - Romance.

- a lot. - Right.

It happened a lot.

I bet the managers had a lot of fun.

- They did. - It must've been thrilling.

So it was the managers' and stylists' favorite show.

It's "Family Outing".

- You know the manager. - Right.

He met his girlfriend there.

- That's right. - Really?

They dated for about 4 to 5 years.

But they broke up.

- Hey. - He's married now.

You shouldn't say that they are broken up.

They're broken up.

- They broke up. - That sounds romantic though.

They were very much in love.

- Gosh. - That's romantic.

Ji Hyo joined the show, and she slept there.

- In the situation. - You know what it was like there.
