Running Man (런닝맨)

Running Man

[All of Big-nose's humiliation in the past four years.]

[Countless number of days where victory was the furthest thing from his grasp.]

I won!

[But his victories were like a figment of his imagination.]

[A feeling that he'd like to re-live once again.]

Can you... help me?

- It's getting hotter by the day. - It's the middle of the summer.

- It truly is summer. - It's really hot.

Jae Suk, I shouldn't admit this, but I didn't even realize Suk Jin wasn't here.

- Where's Suk Jin? - Take a look at this first, Jae Suk.

I'm really shocked right now.

As you may have guessed, Ji Suk Jin will appear from behind the screen.

- There must be something planned. - Please make the announcement, Jae Suk.

This is embarrassing to read out loud.

Did Suk Jin write this?

In rain or snow, this man can always bring bouts of laughter to the audience.

The best of the best comedian, Republic of Korea's very own Ji Suk Jin.

Over 15 years of experience ranging from talk shows, quiz shows, and variety shows.

From every kind of genre you can think of, this is the man who tops all the lists!

- Why is this so long? - Is he even going to come on?

From his on-the-spot hit songs that he has created throughout the years...

What hit songs is he even talking about?

I'm so embarrassed for him.

And to all the victories that he's taken home in all the years...

What?

What is this?

[Their long history will continue onto the muddy farm field.]

I have a bad feeling about this. We're going to lose.

[The man of Korea's talk shows- Nam Hee Suk.]

[The perfect team play over ten years in the making.]

[The man who never once lost a verbal battle to Big-nose.]

[His verbal skills will become one of Big-nose's biggest ally.]

[The young man whose first debut was introduced by Big-nose himself.]

[The young man became a real man and comes to Big-nose's rescue.]

[From a young man to a real man- Kim Hee Chul.]

[Korea's biggest legends in talk shows all come to gather in one place.]

Jae Dong? What are you guys doing?

[And the star of today's show finally makes his appearance.]

[A history of friendship that goes back way farther than anyone could guess.]

[That friendship will prove to be a huge support to Big-nose.]

[Unexpected goddess of variety world- Lee So Yeon.]

- Are you all ready? - We are Big-nose's friends!

- Hey, let's do it one more time. - We are Big-nose's friends!

- I called them all out. - What are they all doing here?

I invited them all out on the show.

[They look to be better friends with the rest of the Running Man cast members?]

Hey, I invited them all out!

[His friends abandon him, and he's now the loner of the group.]

Why are you guys on such friendly terms?

The bottom line is, they all came on the show to win today's race.

Please give them all a big round of applause.

I would like to introduce them, and tell you about our friendship.

- Jae Dong and I've been with the same agency. - That was over ten years ago, right?

Yes, that was over ten years ago. We'd go out drinking and chat together.

- We've all been out together. - Yes, we have.

After you left, he said some nasty things about you behind your back.

I don't believe that. He'd never do that to me.

You look uglier today than you ever have.

- What about Hee Chul? - Do you even have any hair in the front?

If this is how you were going to treat me, then you never should've invited me on.

We didn't invite you.

Just come over to my house where there aren't any cameras around.

I've known Hee Suk since before I even made my debut.

- I met him through Jae Suk. - That's when the stations were struggling.

Even though it may look like Suk Jin and I are really good friends

this is the first time he's called me in over four years.

I wasn't even going to answer because I didn't recognize his number.

When I didn't answer his call, he sent me a text instead.

His text said, 'It's me, Suk Jin.'

- Hee Suk and I are really close though. - No, he's my good friend.

Suk Jin and I worked on the gag concert audition together so that we could win.

- Yes, I had forgotten about that. - Kim Gook Jin helped us plan it.

[Soo Hong played a big role in helping Suk Jin get started in the business.]

- Hee Chul's usually not this quiet either. - You know what he said to me earlier?

'Make Suk Jin stop this.'

Why would you say something like that?

Hee Chul didn't need to worry about that. We thought it was funny.

It truly is an honor to be on such an elegant show as this one.

Nice! That was a really good comment.

Before he became a member of Super Junior, he first made his mark by being on our show.

[Made his first debut by being on Big-nose's show before becoming a member of SJ.]

- He was on my show for his debut. - What about So Yeon?

- With So Yeon... - I was on that show too.

You didn't remember that, did you?

- Wasn't it on the show, 'Hi-five'? - No, it was on the other show.

These people are some of my closest friends. They're like family members to me.

Then are we going to be competing against Suk Jin and his group of friends?

Suk Jin tried for over two months to personally invite these guests on the show.

That's why they're all on the show today.

So today's race is titled, 'Big-nose's Victory Race.'

We will start the race by giving everyone one of these gold bars.

Okay, everyone may now each take one.

Running Man is awesome.

- Can I just take this? - So Yeon really likes her gold!

Big-nose will be given slight advantages to help him gain his victory in today's race.

You can choose one, but there are a variety of advantages for you.

You can reuse those advantages with each new game that you'll play today.

- Go with Lee So Yeon's card. - Yes, that looks like a good one.

I doubt it'll be a dud.

- Double the gold! - You chose the 'double the gold' option.

Every time your team wins a round of games, the amount of your gold will double.

How is this going to help us win?

The more gold bars you have, the bigger the advantage you'll have at the final competition.

- So that's a good thing. - Can we see whose name was a dud?

Yes, you may.

[They are off to a good start, and it's time to start the mission!]

So we got the 'double the gold' card.

Since the more gold we have, the better, let's work really hard today.

Because this is real gold. But what if the other team wins?

We'll just each take care of one opponent.

Hee Chul can take care of Jong kook.

I don't know what today is going to be, but let's not be too kind to Suk Jin.

- Why would we let him win? This is our win. - He needs to be stepped on to survive.

That's the only way to make sure that an episode like this doesn't happen again.

We need to end it for good so that he doesn't think of doing this again.

Okay, let's make sure of that today.

It's a muddy farm field.

[Welcome! It's the season of muddy farm fields.]

Look at all the water. It's actually not that bad.

Hee Suk, you've never done anything like this before, have you?

[First time experience for both Hee Suk and Soo Hong in 24 years since their debut.]

[The masters of the variety world have never experienced this before in their years.]

Let's go back to the studio.

[Comforts of a studio where it's cool in the summers and warm in the winters.]

[Have only basked in the comforts of a studio- Nam Hee Suk and Park Soo Hong.]

This is the first time in my life that I've ever stepped foot in a farm field.

You know what I've always said whenever I saw Jae Suk doing things like this?

That Jae Suk has the right to be making the kind of money that he makes.

- He deserves to get paid his money. - Do you know what Hee Suk texted me?

He would text me things like, 'I enjoyed watching your show today, Jae Suk.'

'Must you really do those things on the show?'

But here he is on the show today.

[Here's your chance to experience it for yourself today.]

We've prepared a game for you to get warmed up and earn yourselves another gold bar.

We're already warmed up. There's no need for this.

We felt that our guests would need some time to get used to the field

so we're going to be playing a game of, 'Spin a circle with the woman in your arms.'

The male members will have to spin the woman on their team once

around their waist without dropping them in the water in a relay form.

Even if we try to drop her, Ji Hyo won't let herself fall in the water.

[A game specifically geared towards Ace Blank Ji.]

She's not all that light either.

[Ace and Yoo Hyuk spin a circle in a steady motion.]

[Big-nose and So Yeon can't even begin to get into their spin position.]

[Yoo Hyuk finishes first and safely passes off to Kwang Soo.]

[Big-nose is still struggling to complete his spin.]

We got it!

[Team RM is already onto their third player, Ha Ha.]

[Not an easy mission on the field where it's already tough enough to find their balance.]

[Third player, Hee Suk vs Fourth player, Gary.]

I'm going to spin you in one move.

[Team SJ catches up to their opponents by Hee Suk's shocking play.]

[Fourth players for each team now tries to imitate Hee Suk's method.]

My friends are doing great!

[Monday Couple is still playing hard to get with the muddy farm field.]

[Even Jae Dong successfully half spins So Yeon around.]

How are we so good?

[Their victory is right in front of their eyes!]

[Jae Dong and So Yeon successfully complete their spin.]

[Blank Ji takes a proper mud bath in the muddy farm field.]

- We won! - Ji Hyo, you smell like onions.

Are you all used to the farm field a bit now?

The first game will be played right here in the muddy field

and the name of the game is, 'Alley Leader Field Bingo.'

Do you see what's been set up on the sides?

Assign three members to stand in front of the bingo board on the stands.

The rest of the members will search for numbered discs hidden out in the field.

Toss the disc to your team members once you find it.

Connect any three numbers together to create a bingo for the win.

Okay, we will now get started.

- Get ready for the first round. - Why do you guys look so tiny?

- You just need to complete one line. - Okay!

[They must first find the numbered discs hidden out in the muddy farm field.]

Soo Hong! You have to get down on the ground.

Great job, team!

Behind you, Jong kook!
