Running Man (런닝맨)

- It's really hot. - It's so hot.

- I'm drenched in sweat. - It's hot.

(In the middle of summer, with the heat at its peak)

Hello.

Okay.

(The members have gathered at Gwangmyeong Cave.)

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello. It's so hot today.

- The weather is insane. - It's sweltering hot.

We came here about ten years ago.

We did?

(Filmed at Gwangmyeong Cave 9 years ago)

- We came here before? - This is my first time here.

What did we do here?

- When was that? - We played games in there.

We went in there?

I remember this.

- What? - Going in there.

- You're lying. - You're lying.

I'm serious. Kwang Soo did this here.

Ji Hyo, are you sure you remember that?

This is where Kwang Soo did this.

- The fresh cream bomb thing. - Really? Here?

- Yes. - That's true.

- Really? - See?

Ji Hyo, you're healthy.

She's not the old Ji Hyo anymore.

I remember what everyone else forgot.

- There's the image behind us. - The cave.

(The display comes on as Ji Hyo's health is being celebrated.)

This place has gotten so much prettier.

They did a great job decorating it. It's so nicely put together.

- Ji Hyo remembers it. - Right. We've been here before.

With those glasses on,

- are you going back to Turbo days? - No.

The glare was just too much.

- You're wearing sunglasses now. - I flew in...

(Kim Turbo returned from Jeju Island this morning.)

from Jeju on the morning flight.

He said he was in Jeju,

so I asked what brought him there.

The thing is, FC Bayern Munich came...

- to Jeju Island to play. - Yes.

(A friendly match between Munich and Jeju FC was on August 4.)

- On Jeju Island? - Against Jeju SK FC.

- That's right. - You really are the KFA President.

- But... - You're running the KFA.

Is this a buildup?

Obviously, he's the future president.

- What... - But this is...

- His moves are totally... - This is a buildup for a campaign.

I met Min Jae.

He went, "You need to be the KFA President."

If the opportunity came up, would you take on the role?

If it's for the future of Korean soccer,

I'd do it even out of my own pocket.

Seriously?

So the rumor already reached him?

(Rumors of Soccer Kim running for chairman have even reached Munich.)

Min Jae saw that too.

If you really end up as president...

That's really amazing.

- What's that? We have news? - What?

I see. It hit 100 million views.

(Ha-Byul couple's short-form video has reached 100 million views.)

- That's right. - That's what we did.

This is insane.

- It's 100 million views. - We started it together.

TikTok Global...

(Every video the Viral Monster uploads is a hit.)

even called this the best case...

- from South Korea. - Really?

You might get a little sensitive...

- if I say this, - What?

but the era of Grandpa TikTok is over.

- It's the era of Uncle TikTok. - Grandpa TikTok?

- It's the era of Uncle TikTok. - Uncle TikTok.

But my total views...

are already over 200 million.

Yes, but I hit 100 million views on just a single video.

- On just a single video? - You got 100 million on 1 video?

- With only one video? - That's crazy.

It was the most-viewed video in the entire country last week.

- Haha. - Yes.

So you hit 100 million views,

Right. But no one knows.

but did your concert sell out all 470 seats or not?

- Did it sell out? - Now, I have...

300 seats left.

- What? - It didn't sell out yet?

Are you talking about the 300 bags of offering rice left over?

Haha, I bought two tickets.

- It sounds like offering rice. - I paid for the tickets.

I'll buy more.

- What happened? - I'll bring all my acquaintances.

His video got 100 million views, but his concert has 300 seats left.

This side is a completely different world.

- It's too different. - The gap between them is insane.

(100 Million Views on TikTok, 300 Available Seats in Real Life)

Between 100 million views and 400 seats...

- You still have 300 seats left? - It's so confusing.

(Please support the real-life version of Haha as well.)

- It really is. - What?

Running Man Kids?

You even prepared this?

- What? - What's that?

(Shoutout to Running Man Kids after Nam Hyeong Ju)

- You're unbelievable. - Nam Hyeong Ju!

- This is driving me crazy. - Haha.

You just need to stick to promoting your concert.

- It's not like that. - Okay.

The Running Man Kids are lining up...

- They want you to do this? - to audition for me right now!

- I see. - The thing is,

I'm worried he'll start charging them ten cents each.

- Seriously. - Running Man Kids, rise up!

(Lee Won donated 10 cents: A shoutout, please!)

This is ridiculous.

Running Man Kids, assemble!

- I'm 100 percent sure... - He has an ulterior motive.

- That's enough. - Don't try...

(Dedicated to the point of preparing a banner)

to build clout like that.

Stop using the young kids.

Running Man Kids!

He’s doing all this to turn it into cash.

He's doing all this just to cash out on TikTok.

He's begging for views off these kids.

(Uncle TikTok makes the most of his moment.)

Even just standing still takes your breath away today,

with the highest temperature reaching 37°C.

- I see. - I'm dripping with sweat now.

I think I might be getting heat exhaustion.

- I'm sweating buckets now. - It's really hot.

They say the Yangsan area is exceptionally scorching now.

("Yangsan Reached 42.5°C, Extreme Heatwave in Korea")

Yes. Areas like Yangsan are reportedly topping 40°C.

It must be really tough.

- Yes. - It's just too hot.

(And so, the course prepared for today)

Today, we will find a cool getaway...

to escape this brutal heatwave...

- and beat the heat. - Okay.

- Nice. - We're heading somewhere cool?

This is what we need.

- I love it. - Great.

Our first destination is...

- Gwangmyeong Cave. - It's a cave.

It's perfect for summer.

Gwangmyeong Cave.

It was a gold mine...

that had been excavated since 1912,

(A gold mine where gold was mined as far back as 1912)

but it has now transformed into a top landmark...

(Now a popular tourist attraction and a sought-after vacation spot)

welcoming over a million visitors a year.

The inside of the cave is about 12°C all year round,

- keeping it delightfully cool. - Really?

- That sounds nice. - Let's hurry and get inside.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Today, you'll get to see an exclusive area...

that hasn't been opened to the public in 114 years.

- Really? - What's that?

- Why? - That sounds amazing.

- Let's step inside the cave then. - Let's go.

(Heading into the cave to escape from the heat)

- For 114 years? - That's great.

It must be cool.

- It's hot. - It's scorching hot.

- I'm feeling hot. - It's insane.

(The heat is already suffocating, even after just a few steps.)

- It's too hot. - It's hot.

- Hello. - Hello.

In front of the entrance...

(A food zone that instantly catches the eye)

- They have a lot of good food here. - Hey.

We should eat some cave bread.

Let's eat some cave bread.

(Seok Sam still has an appetite even in this heat.)

Who wants cave bread?

We should try one.

- Why don't we... - We should eat when we get there.

- Why? - Let's just go, Seok Jin.

- We will get some food there. - The cave bread looks delicious.

- Gosh, seriously... - The cave bread looks delicious.
