Running Man (런닝맨)

(This show features indirect advertisements.)

(A deserted commercial district with a cold wind blowing through)

Gosh, this is really hard.

(A lot of stores are on the brink of going out of business.)

- Sales are completely dead. - This is too hard.

- This is... - We're in trouble.

(The Running Arcade Cooperative gathered together...)

- This isn't easy. - No!

Hello.

- Hello. - Okay.

- Gosh, this is... - Hello.

All right. Did you just come from a fishing spot or something?

- Actually, I run my own business. - I'm sorry.

- Oh, no. - So you're self-employed.

(The chairperson of the Running Arcade Cooperative...)

I'm the chairperson of the Running Arcade Cooperative.

I run a wholesale fruit business.

- It suits you well. - It does.

- You know, today is... - Yes.

our shopping arcade's team-building retreat.

- That's right. - I thought I was the only CEO.

Your business must have failed seriously.

- Today... - Aunt Ji Hyo.

(The auntie brings out old-school eatery charms.)

She's come the most prepared for today's theme.

- That's true. - I tried.

- The hairstyle suits her well. - She did her own hair.

- Did you do it yourself? - She did.

- You're so caring. - I couldn't afford a hairstylist,

so I did my own hair with rollers.

What's that rice paddle?

- I like the setup. - It's like...

she's doing "Comedy Big League" alone.

- Excuse me, sir. - Yes.

What are you, a hobo?

- What is this? - Why do you try to look stylish?

(He tries to look cool even when his business is failing.)

He's trying to look stylish.

- He's dressed up. - What's wrong with you?

It's just a fashion choice.

I used to run a clothing shop but went bankrupt.

(The one who wants to be young, Young Forty Haha)

Why are you trying to look cool?

- What is this? - Why do you try to look stylish?

(He dressed up completely in torn-up clothes.)

- You know me. - Look at you.

How can you come to the shoot wearing slippers?

(Her rice paddle heads for the big toe.)

How can you come to the shoot wearing slippers?

(Getting scolded for showing up barefoot)

- Why are you wearing slippers? - Gosh, seriously...

(The rice paddle is used to give him a lesson for his rugged appearance.)

Seriously, is she out of her mind?

- That's not right. - He's crying.

- You can't wear slippers on TV. - Seriously.

It must hurt for real.

- I like Ji Hyo's character. - It's just a setup.

Ji Hyo, you should keep doing this character for the time being.

(She found the perfect role for herself.)

You should do this.

What are you?

- I run a herbal medicine store. - Like the one in Jongno...

- Yes. - that we visited before?

(Dongducheon Herbal Medicine Cafe Owner)

That's right. We went to a store like that in Jongno.

But, listen.

What kind of herbal medicine doctor dresses like this?"

- They are doctors like that. - They do this.

A lot of tourists go there.

(The herbal medicine cafe theme benchmarked from Jongno)

- It's like a themed cafe. - Right.

- They do that. - A themed cafe.

Seok Jin has got a short temper.

- You're a personal trainer. - I run a gym.

You're a personal trainer. What about you?

- I run a Pilates studio. - Pilates.

I really don't want to go to her Pilates studio.

(Gym Owner Trainer Kook, who opened it to exercise for himself)

(Pilates Instructor Ji, who only wipes dust off the equipment)

- You run a restaurant? - Yes.

(Among the merchants who have clear themes...)

- I sell napa cabbage gukbap. - I run a clothing store.

I run a herbal medicine store.

- A non-brand clothing store. - He runs a herbal medicine store.

- What do you do? - Well, I...

What kind of business do you run?

Seok Jin misunderstood today's theme.

He thought it was a meetup for successful stock investors.

- For successful investors? - Your stocks hit rock bottom again.

I'm the chairperson of the society for people hoping to hit a jackpot.

(Chairperson of Successful Stock Wishers Club)

- Move over, Seok Jin. - Stock?

(The Chairperson of Successful Stock Wishers Club sticks out...)

- Why? - Because you don't run a business.

- You don't fit in. - But...

(among the merchants with clear themes.)

Stay here.

Or we can say you run Station-Front Grandpa Beer.

- Station-Front Grandpa Beer. - Station-Front Grandpa Beer.

- Come here. - They sell a lot of beer.

- Just go with it. - It's a successful business.

- Station-Front Grandpa Beer. - That's perfect.

- He copied Yukjeon Halmani Beer. - But he failed.

- I'm not a grandpa, you brat. - A knock-off.

I can become a grandpa only when my son has a child.

- Station-Front Grandpa sounds good. - Station-Front Grandpa Beer.

- You need to do something. - Right.

He's a grandpa who stays young at heart.

There is a top entertainment agency in this shopping district,

(There is one entertainment agency that is doing well.)

- An entertainment agency? - and two of their singers...

have come to visit us.

(The hot guest who will join the struggling merchants!)

- Who? - Guests, please come on in!

- MIYEON is here again. - They're really pretty.

- This is MINNIE's first time. - She's coming for the first time.

- Hello. - Come here.

Nice to meet you.

- MINNIE. - Hey, MINNIE.

MIYEON has been on Running Man quite often, but...

(MIYEON-phrodite with flawless looks is making her fifth appearance.)

Where is the capital of Chile?

- Chile. - What did you say?

(The beautiful Empty Head threatens the real Empty Heads.)

Do you want to hear Chow Yun Fat's story or not?

Stop it. That's enough.

- Stop it. - I don't want to hear about it.

- I don't want to hear about it. - I don't want to hear about it.

(A perfect fit for Running Man, who completely roasts Seok Sam)

(The first foreign main vocalist in a girl group...)

(with the ultimate dreamy voice, MINNIE)

(Signaling their comeback the pre-release track, with "Crow")

How have you been, MIYEON?

(The two top visuals show up at the gloomy alley!)

- MIYEON. - How are you, MIYEON?

MINNIE!

- Hey, MINNIE. - It's so good to see you.

- Come here. - Nice to meet you.

This is your first time here, MINNIE.

- This is my first time seeing her. - Yes, it's my first time.

- MINNIE. - It's like I'm seeing celebrities.

MINNIE, it's been quite a long time since your debut.

- Right. - I know.

- Didn't i-dle debut in 2019? - Yes.

- In 2018. - Yes.

(It has been 9 years since they had their debut.)

- It's been that long? - This is our ninth year.

It's been a long time.

MIYEON, how old were you when you debuted?

Maybe I was 21?

- You debuted after you turned 20? - Yes.

We're the oldest members in our group.

(MINNIE and MIYEON are the oldest members of i-dle.)

We're the same age.

- Are you the same age? - Yes. We're friends.

- Really? MINNIE? - Your reaction...

- But MINNIE is... - Isn't MINNIE...

- We don't seem like that, right? - younger than you?

She looks younger.

- What are you doing? - What was that?

Come on. We're the same age!

Come on.

She is...

(Their excitement peaks at the reunion.)

She's funny.

She's not in her right mind.

She's funny.

She's so funny.

You know, i-dle is making their comeback on July 6.

(They are back with the 9th mini album, "We Made.")

- "We Made." - They are coming back!

It's called "We Made."

- That's right. - I saw it. Was it "Crow?"

- It's a pre-released track, right? - "Crow?"

- Yes. - I loved the song.

- Thank you. - "Crow?"

- "Crow." - Yes, so I'm dressed like a crow.

(She is dressed as a crow to match the theme.)

That's why you're dressed in black.

- Right. - So, MINNIE is dressed like a crow.

- But why... - What about you?

I just wanted to look pretty.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

- Is this the move? - They're dancing.

- The crow dance? - Is this it?

(It's their signature crow dance for their new song.)

- It looks nice. - Yes. It's the crow dance.
