Running Man (런닝맨)

[A gigantic scaled project will take place on the Han River.]

[7 AM- Coffee shop near Dong-kuk University.]

- Why isn't anyone else clapping? - We don't clap when we start.

There could be people who may not be in the best mood when we start filming.

- Some people may not be in a good mood. - Why wouldn't they be in a good mood?

We need to make sure to put people in a good mood as we start filming throughout the day.

How can I already be in trouble when I haven't even said anything yet?

Let's all cheers together for a good day.

It's okay. You're still learning.

Just eat some patbingsoo and be quiet.

- Can I just eat then? - Is this patbingsoo?

This really is a delicious cup of coffee.

[Cake and patbingsoo... their morning brunch.]

I already had breakfast before I came.

I got up at 5AM this morning, so what time did you get up for breakfast?

I got up at 4 AM.

- You got up that early? - I always make sure to have my breakfast.

- That's a late night snack. - I always eat my breakfast.

That's not breakfast. That's more like a really late night snack.

Did you stay up all night just to have breakfast?

I've been hearing some shocking news lately.

I know that you're trying to keep it a secret, but we know you've been busy setting up.

- We've been hearing some things. - We were trying to keep everything a secret.

We'll start off by telling you what your final mission is going to be.

[Revealing what the final mission is going to be.]

You have to cross a river.

- Are you serious? - So it's true!

You've already crossed the Han River by building your own boat

so I'm sure you'll all be very good at it.

What do you mean, we're good at it? Have you not seen our boat capsizing?

- We were stuck in the water for 40 minutes. - I've never experienced anything like that.

[Their Han River incident is still fresh in their minds as if it happened yesterday.]

- Do you know how cold the river is right now? - We did a great job with that.

[This time, they won't be crossing in a paper boat.]

[The boat must be made with various different materials.]

How about giving us a huge basin?

- What about cotton candy? - Probably cotton candy and bread.

Is there a huge basin? Seriously?

- What did you say? - A basin. A huge basin.

- What did he say? A prawn? - We have to cross with a prawn?

[How are you going to cross the river on a prawn?]

- We have to ride on a prawn? - Tie up a thousand prawns together.

And this time, you'll be building the boats together with some special guests.

- Who are our guests? - Please come on in.

What's it going to be?

- You all must pick a picture that you like. - Seriously?

- Each of you must pick a picture. - Does it matter which one we pick?

- Each of you must choose a picture. - You go first, Kwang Soo.

- Should I go first? - Yeah.

- I want Lee Hyung Yi. - I want Yang Hee Eun.

- I want Yang Hee Eun. - No, I want Yang Hee Eun.

I have a good feeling about Yang Hee Eun.

I'm going with Yang Hee Eun.

[I'm going to go with the one that the others wants.]

- He really is gullible. - You can't change your mind now.

Okay, you go next.

I don't know who to pick.

I need to choose the person who has the biggest chance of actually being on the show.

- Go with Yeon Hee. - That's who Jong Kook wants.

You can't worry about that. You get to pick first.

- Go with Yeon Hee. - I'm going to pick Goo Ha Ra.

[After careful consideration, Gary chooses Goo Ha Ra.]

I don't know anyone else with that name.

Wow, Yeon Hee is like a sister to me.

Ji Hyun... I didn't make it to her wedding.

That's because you weren't even invited!

You need to wake up from your daydreaming.

- Then Jong Kook can have Yeon Hee. - I want Kim Yeon Ah.

- What? - I want Kim Yeon Ah.

I once played a character by that name in a drama a long time ago

- and I feel like I'm meant to pick her. - Really?

Then I'll pick Kim Yeon Ah.

[Always chooses the one that someone else wants.]

- Ah! You should pick Hyuna. - You should pick Hyuna.

I'll go with Hyuna.

If this is what I think it is, then I think Lee Hyun Yi is right for me.

- Then I think... - I think I want Han Ga In.

Then you get Han Ga In, and I get Jeon Ji Hyun.

[Han Ga In for Suk Jin, and Jeon Ji Hyun for Ha Ha.]

[Everyone completes their selection of their top stars.]

Everyone's finished making their selections.

As mentioned before, you have to make a boat with various different materials.

Starting with Kwang Soo, please take the sticker off the back of the picture.

Seo-Gang University?

- That's a university. - Seriously?

Not that, but the back of the picture.

Dong-kuk University! That's right out front!

Yes! Seong-Shin Women's University!

I didn't know that's where Ha Ra went.

Is mine the only all women's university?

The only place I get any warm reception is at an all-women's university.

You must now go to the university that you have each chosen

and choose a male and a female student whom you'll complete your mission with.

You must choose two teammates and bring them back with you.

Man and a woman?

In Song Ji Hyo's case, she'll have to bring back two males.

Then as for me, I'll have to bring back two females?

- Yes, Gary will have to bring back two women. - Is there a boat making class?

- Try an architecture class. - Ah, architecture class?

Then will these students have to cross the river with us in the boat?

[Must cross the river with the students that they choose as their teammates.]

Then I'll have to choose students who'll listen to me well.

I think anyone you pick will listen to you well.

The broadcast date of this episode will be March 2nd.

Today's the start of a new semester.

That's why we're calling this episode, '2014 Running Man New Semester Race.'

[New Semester Special- 2014 Running Man University Competition.]

[Team up with smart, and passionate students of local universities!]

[Build a boat out of various different materials.]

[The team that crosses the river quickest will win the race.]

Ideas, skills, and teamwork. You need all three elements to win the race.

Find your teammates that possess all three of these attributes

and bring them back with you to join you on this mission as your teammates.

Go.

Okay, let's go!

I need to get there quickly and find the best teammates that I can find.

The most important thing is their creativity.

Their passion and ambition is what I need.

If I could have my choice, I'd want a male student like Kwang Soo.

And a female student who's like Ji Hyo.

As for the male... I want someone who'll follow my lead well.

A guy who's good at following orders.

Someone who's quick on their feet.

As for the girl...

I would like for her to be...

Someone who can listen, and be cooperative.

A girl who's sweet and cute.

[We told them to find their teammates, not describe their ideal type in a mate.]

I want to be able to get along with them like I would with my family members.

Maybe we can meet up on the weekends and build boats to ride on the Han River.

Yes!

[Everyone is headed to their respective universities with excited hearts.]

We're here.

I've been here so many times in the past.

[Current time- 8:40 AM. Korea University Campus.]

I actually used to be a part of the cheerleading squad here.

I was a part of the cheerleading squad. I wonder if anyone I know is still here.

I don't know what kind of a person I should pick.

[Must be careful when choosing their teammates.]

[But the campus is very quiet this morning with many the students still on break.]

Kyung Hee University!

I think I should go this way.

How can the campus be so empty?

You didn't tell them I was coming, did you?

There aren't any students on campus.

I haven't seen anyone around. I can't believe how empty the campus is.

I feel like I'm back in college.

[This campus is also devoid of any students...]

It's still too early in the morning. But I don't have much time.

- Hello. - Hello!

- We did a Tug-of-war race here before. - I participated in that.

- I was a part of the team. - So many students were out cheering for us.

- But it's so empty here today. - We love you!

- I have to find someone to help me out. - Me!

- Me! - Pick me!

What major are you? We have to build a boat today.

That's great.

We have to build a boat.

- I'm good at building boats. - I can build it too.

[Anything is cool with them! This is what youthful passion is like!]

I don't know which one of you to pick.

I personally like someone with long straight hair.

I didn't know there would be so many of you with long straight hair!

[Who would've ever dreamt that a day like this would come to him?]

All women's university. I hope I can find some students.

What if I don't find any students on campus?

All beautiful women are sleepyheads.

I'm feeling a bit bashful now that I'm here.

Hello.

Are you studying right now?

[A beautiful student studying in the library.]

Is this university full of beautiful women like yourself?
