(This show features indirect advertisements.)

- It's windy. - It's so cool.

- It's cool and nice. - It's breezy.

The weather is great.

(it's the perfect weather for a workout.)

- What is this? - It's a gym.

- What is this place? - I didn't know there was a gym.

- This is a gym. - It smells like a gym in here.

- Hello. - I didn't know of this place.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Was there a gym here? - Okay!

- All right. - My goodness. What is this place?

- Your body is quite solid. - Sure.

He's rock-solid.

(The fit 60-year-old basks in the compliment.)

Okay. I didn't work out yesterday.

- Still, it's solid as a rock. - I know.

Seok Jin, your face looks bloated today.

- It's just fat. - What did you say, you punk?

- Your face is puffy. - I ate tteokbokki yesterday.

- Tteokbokki? - I ate tteokbokki yesterday.

It's really puffy.

- He looks good, though. - Right. He looks great.

Right. You eat well when you're healthy.

Seok Jin, now that you've filled out a bit,

- your skin looks glowing. - That's true.

- Are you serious? - Yes, your skin looks great.

- Your skin looks smooth. - He's pleased.

- He doesn't have wrinkles. - I see.

- Your skin looks tight. - He looks like he's 60.

You darn brat.

- Don't say things you don't mean. - His skin is really tight.

You don't look like you're 60.

He looks 60 years old from behind.

- From behind? - He looks 60 years old from behind.

You look like you're 61.

Hey!

By the way,

I watched this drama recently.

(His puffy face reminds him of a drama.)

- Which one? - It was...

- kind of like a thriller. - Okay.

The wife keeps making delicious food for her husband.

(The carb killer from the drama "Love, ft. Marriage and Divorce")

She keeps asking, "Are you hungry?"

- Then she buys him pizza, - Is it a thriller?

cooks chicken dishes at night, and does things like that.

And in the end, the husband suddenly...

- He dies? - dies while watching a movie.

- From a stroke. - A stroke?

He dies like that. And three days ago,

my wife asked me to go and eat fried chicken with her.

- So... - You've gained so much weight.

- Then... - I ate chicken late at night.

Why are you gaining so much weight lately?

I enjoyed the fried chicken a lot late at night.

(An intentional weight gain from fried chicken)

- And then yesterday, - Yesterday?

she went, "You're hungry, right?" and cooked up a lot of tteokbokki.

Seriously, your face gained a ton of weight.

I just couldn't stop thinking about that drama.

Your wife must've watched that drama too.

I guess she's looking to start a brand-new life.

That can't be it, but she keeps feeding me recently.

(Hugh Grant of Jamwon-dong's thrilling everyday life)

- She does? - Just like the drama.

Even your nose got chubby.

- I've gained weight. - Your face is all swollen up.

What?

- What? - Haha?

("Haha, an Offer to Star in a Hollywood Blockbuster?")

He got an offer for a Hollywood blockbuster?

- He's lying. - That must be a lie.

- You're lying. - Don't you dare fool us.

- That's just ridiculous. - What was that?

Why is he trying to build this kind of fake image?

- Should I really reveal what it is? - What is it?

- Don't be absurd. - Spit it out.

(It sounds unreal, but Hollywood did offer him a role.)

- What happened? - Don't mention it...

until you're officially cast and start filming the movie.

- You just got an offer. - I just...

- What's the movie? - Tell us about the project.

(What's the Hollywood movie that chose Haha?)

What's the title?

It's "The Lord of the Rings."

- What? - Are you Gollum?

You're a hobbit.

- That's right. - Are you really a hobbit?

- You're a hobbit. - That's right.

- Hobbit? - Are you really a hobbit?

An Asian hobbit.

A real hobbit?

(Korean hobbit recognized by the whole world)

A hobbit who doesn't even need special effects makeup.

Yes. I was offered to play 1 of the 12 hobbits.

- A hobbit? - An Asian hobbit.

- Are you serious? - You do look like a hobbit.

- And... - Haha is a perfect fit.

Like hobbits, he has huge feet.

That's true. I don't need any makeup.

(Even the giant feet that save on costume costs)

- Look at his feet. - He wouldn't need any makeup.

That's unbelievable.

(Will we see a proudly representing K-hobbit...)

I was asked to play an Asian hobbit.

- Are you serious? - You do look like a hobbit.

So I took my profile photos and sent them,

and they told me to clear my schedule for a month.

("The Lord of the Rings:" Are you free for one month?)

But I told them, "I'm sorry, but Running Man is my top priority."

("Sorry, Running Man comes first." From the K-hobbit)

I turned it down because of this show.

- You turned it down? - I did.

- Are you serious? - You turned it down?

(You turned down "The Lord of the Rings?")

The original "The Lord of the Rings?"

- You should've done it. - The original one?

- The one with the whole main cast. - You should've done it.

There's not much difference whether you're here or not.

There's not much difference whether you're here or not.

- You should've accepted it. - We will let you go.

Everything will be fine.

- You have to do it. - Why did you turn it down?

(The six members are berserk at Hobbit Ha's decision.)

Why did you not accept the offer?

- Tell them you're in. - Why did you turn it down?

(Disappointed by the reaction, different from what he expected)

I was really planning to do it,

- but I turned it down. - Unbelievable.

Wasn't it some cheap knockoff, by any chance?

Like. "The Lord of the First Birthday Rings?"

What? The first birthday ring?

Or maybe "The Lord of the Semi-basement."

- Semi-basement. - They live in the basement.

Are you sure it was "The Lord of the Rings?"

(Today's Running Man with "The Lord of the Semi-basement")

- Semi-basement. - Semi-basement?

Before we start,

- I have something to tell you. - What is it?
