Running Man (런닝맨)

(This show features indirect advertisements.)

(It's early morning, and people are busy heading to work.)

Hello.

(and Manager Yu is the first to clock in.)

They should be here by 8:30am,

but no one is here yet.

Minus five hours, so the starting time is 8:30am.

What?

(They must start filming at 8:30am, which is extra early for them.)

1:30pm was better.

(Morning person Manager Yu arrived 5 minutes early.)

There are lots of nice things in the pantry.

What are these gold bars?

The CEO gave your team a bonus.

(The CEO generously gave them 30 1kg gold bars.)

What company pays bonuses in gold bars these days?

(Manager Yu, who is next in line, will hand them out to the team.)

You will hand them out.

Oh, me? Okay, understood.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Take a seat. - Hello.

- If you don't mind... - Yes?

- What company is this? - What?

What do we do here?

I was just told to come to work.

- You came not knowing your job? - Well, yes.

Get out.

- Shall I drag him out? Come along. - Yes. He's leaving.

How can you come to work not knowing what we do?

(He has the looks of a chairman but the awareness of a newbie.)

- What I meant was... - Leave.

- Ye Eun, you can sit. - Okay.

Come in later.

How can someone come to work without knowing what he does?

I know what we do now.

What do we do?

It's a trading company.

- You can sit. - Is it really?

- Can I... - Make me some Solomon's seal tea.

(It turns out Employee Jee keeps the office stocked.)

- Well, I... - What's the matter?

- My experience... - How many years...

I'll have green tea, please.

I'll have kombu tea, please.

- Kombu tea. - Kombu tea.

You're my friend's daughter.

- Didn't we start here together? - I've watched you grow up...

since you were this little.

- Whether she's your friend's... - Yes.

daughter or relative, it doesn't matter.

- I'm sorry. - This is a workplace, not a club.

Please put in some effort.

(Seok Sam gets picked on from all over.)

Why did you come in with your shirt all open?

Why did you come in with your shirt all open?

He's claiming to be ATEEZ's SAN today.

His armpits!

Seriously!

(The Northern Duke melting every woman's heart)

His armpits!

(The Belly Duke killing the office vibe)

- Seriously... - He's the worst.

His armpits!

- Seriously... - He's the worst.

Seriously...

- Also, - Yes?

it's not a wave. It goes like this.

(As they bust out awful dance moves on a Monday morning...)

- A chest pop? - It's a chest pop.

Good morning!

- Goodness. - Hello.

- It's here! - Lovely morning.

- Okay. - Nice to meet you.

- Hello. - That hurts.

Hello, I'm Song Ji Hyo, a new hire.

- It's here. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Are we doing this again?

- This way... - Is this my place?

- Is it... - Where is my seat?

- We have designated seats. - Is this my seat?

Hold on.

What's with the shorts?

- You... - Do you think you're in Hawaii?

(Employee Ha is wearing a breezy outfit.)

- You're... - Are you kidding?

- That's disrespectful. - Well...

- Look around here. - Yes.

Look at how everyone else is dressed.

(They're all in stuffy office outfits.)

- Look around here. - Yes.

Look at how everyone else is dressed.

(He's come to work looking like he's in Hawaii.)

- There are limits. - Seriously.

Isn't this a fashion company?

- His mindset... - What?

This is a trading company.

- Look at this gold bar. - You don't even know your company.

(A suspicious trading company that gives away gold bars)

What's this?

A single gold bar costs around 200,000 dollars.

- Is this a smuggling company? - Do we smuggle gold bars?

Is this the mafia?

- Hold on. - Hey...

(Manager Yu gets upset with the careless remark.)

Smuggling was just a joke,

but the mafia was a little much.

Should I take off his pants?

- Also, - I think we should.

- the vacation... Who is it? - What is it?

- Why does the Running Man shoot... - What?

- start so early now? - It's Kang Hoon.

- Kang Hoon! - He's here.

- This guy... - The new hires...

- Hello. - Hello.

- Goodness. - It's Hye Jun.

You're here.

(The one-day new hires are looking stunning!)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hye Jun and Woo Min. - Right.

We have new faces.

(Actor Kang Hoon, Actress Kim Hye Jun,)

Woo Min. Nice to meet you.

- It's been a while, Hye Jun. - Hello.

- We've never met. - Hello.

Have you been well?

(The office lights up with the familiar faces...)

Okay, okay!

So you're the new hires.

- They're our new hires. - Yes.

Why don't you introduce yourselves?

Okay. Well, I...

used to be one of the rented members,

so I'm not a new hire. I'm back after seven months.

He's showing off.

He's showing off right from the start.

I'm back after seven months.

- Hello, I'm Kang Hoon. - You've gotten quite confident.

- Yes. - You've gotten quite confident.

(A tough-looking coward recognized by other cowards)

He's a coward!

- What's wrong with him? - What's wrong?

(Hoon's lower body is weaker than a newborn fawn's.)

- Kang Hoon. - What's wrong, Kang Hoon?

Why are you circling in the same place?

- Because you're not moving! - You should go back and forth!

(His body is weak, but he always talks back.)

Let's stop here.

- With passion. You should run! - With passion. Of course.

(The youngest member who always spoke his mind...)

That style doesn't work...

on me. I'm the type who does well when I'm praised.

- I'll take care of it. - Applause.

(Kook's nemesis, who's not afraid of standing up to him)

I'm glad you came all grown up.

(Ye Eun is especially happy to see him.)

I'm glad you came all grown up.

What is it, Ye Eun?

I'm sorry, Hoon.

I'm sorry, Hoon.

Why all of a sudden?

They...

- Did you hear the news? - I did.

- I read about it in the news. - She's...

- In the news. - Why are you suddenly apologizing?

(Her face is so red that it shows through her makeup.)

I feel sorry.

Her face turned red.

- What's the matter with you? - Why are you blushing?

- Why are you getting all red? - Ye Eun!

- What's up with you? - You're being weird.

(It seems like they still have some unfinished business.)

- Do you still have feelings? - Even her ears are red.

- Goodness. - I mean,

I think he liked me.

- But I was too... - I was completely used by her.

- I was born in 1991. - Ye Eun, go quickly!

(Ye Eun's dimpled crush who made her Mondays better...)

What's going on?

- What's going on? - What's going on?

Why are you holding hands? What's going on?

- I don't have a crush on him. - Me neither.

(She took full advantage of him and found her true love.)
