The members of 'Running Man' have entered an auction against the production team.
In the episode aired on the afternoon of the 20th, the members were seen purchasing items needed for the auction.
On this day, the members dressed according to the merchant association concept. Ji Suk-jin shouted at Ji-ae, "And you! You can't come out looking too pretty according to the setting!" Yang Se-chan also expressed disappointment, saying, "Ji-ae has lost too much weight."
Haha expressed his disappointment, saying, "Bring back Ji-ae's double chin!" Yoo Jae-suk laughed, saying, "I heard you woke up several times last night because you were hungry. That's your charm." When Ji-ae couldn't even force herself to create a double chin, Haha scolded her, saying, "That's just like Samson cutting his hair!" Yoo Jae-suk sincerely lamented, "I've seen people lose their character like this several times."
Ji-ae, who was looking at cars, confessed, "I started looking at cars the day I received driving lessons. I'm only watching car YouTube videos," which made the members burst into laughter.
The production team explained, "Today is the 'Merchant War: We Need to Earn' race. After dividing into two teams, you must buy items through an auction. Yoo Jae-suk and Kim Jong-kook will divide the teams." They added, "There is a mission with seed money called 'Quiz on My Belly.' After attaching a portrait to your belly, you must lie down and raise only your upper body to guess the person reflected in the mirror. The team that guesses the most within one minute wins."
As Ji-ae's turn approached, Ji Suk-jin brought cookies and tempted her, saying, "Okay, let's see if this works." However, when Ji-ae failed, Haha lamented, "I told you she looks like a shorn Samson."
Next, the core-strengthened Yoo Jae-suk took on the challenge, but he struggled in one spot like a grasshopper, which made everyone laugh. Even Kim Jong-kook commented, "You look like a tuna that just came out of the sea." After hearing a hint secretly given by Ji-ae, Yoo Jae-suk answered, "Woo Young-woo! Park Eun-bin," but it was put on hold.
In the end, all members of Kim Jong-kook's team failed, and Yoo Jae-suk's team won. The production team said, "Today, there are a total of three clients," and handed out request forms to the members. Yoo Jae-suk's team analyzed what they needed to buy, saying, "It has to be a keyboard that makes a 'tock tock' sound. The editing director is very sensitive about keyboards."
Afterward, the two teams got into their cars to buy the necessary items. Yoo Jae-suk suggested, "There's a hair styling place near the folk market," and proposed going to the wig street first. Choi Daniel looked at the request form for 'camouflage group t-shirts' and humorously suggested, "You know the naked king? Instead of buying clothes, we can just call this clothing and dress him up."
Upon entering the wig shop, the Jae-suk team chose a pink nose hair wig. Ji Suk-jin, seeing the blonde wig, couldn't take his eyes off it and asked, "How much is this? I've always wanted to try this." The owner put the blonde wig on Ji Suk-jin, saying, "This wig is made to fit Europeans," and Yoo Jae-suk teased, "Wow, what a surprise!" When Ji Suk-jin expressed disappointment, saying, "It really doesn't suit me, does it?" Yoo Jae-suk replied, "I'll try it on."
Seeing this, Ji Suk-jin joked, "You look surprising too," and Yoo Jae-suk couldn't hide his embarrassment, saying, "I guess all wigs have this kind of vibe."
Later, Yoo Jae-suk suggested a partial wig to Ji Suk-jin, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Choi Daniel also couldn't hold back, saying, "Hyung, you look younger. You look like Park Bo-gum," and Ji-ae laughed so hard she couldn't keep her balance, saying, "You look younger." When Yoo Jae-suk exclaimed, "You look like you just got tricked in the 60s. How do you look so young?" Ji Suk-jin asked, "Can you match this for me, teacher? This is amazing," still not ready to give up.
When he heard it was 400,000 won, Ji Suk-jin was disappointed but asked, "So I can just pin this on, right?" and tried to buy the wig with his own money.
At the same time, Kim Jong-kook's team gathered opinions on what to buy. When Song Ji-hyo suggested, "I think we should go with something that I would like to have," Kim Jong-kook admired, saying, "Oh, the CEO is really coming up with business ideas."
At that moment, Song Ji-hyo called Kim Jong-kook, saying, "Honey," and the members were surprised, saying, "Honey?" Haha remarked, "We need to address this. Otherwise, 'darling' will come out," to which Song Ji-hyo shyly replied, "I was actually going to say 'hello'."
Upon arriving at the folk market, Yoo Jae-suk's team had a snack time before even starting to buy items. Ji-ae, who was weak from hunger, said, "Boss, please give me a potato pancake first. Oh, I'm feeling dizzy," while waiting for food, and Yoo Jae-suk lamented, "This might be my feeling today, but your reactions and talk are weak. You have no energy!" Choi Daniel added, "I've been watching, and your eyes look hazy."
When Ji Suk-jin remarked, "Did you have a dimple here? It wasn't this pronounced," Ji-ae proudly replied, "Maybe it's because I've lost weight?"
After lunch, the auction against the production team began. Choi Daniel from Yoo Jae-suk's team said, "When you're watching TV at home, the batteries might suddenly die, right? You can use the batteries from the calculator," pricing the calculator at 60,000 won.
Haha from Kim Jong-kook's team took out a tumbler and said, "It's very easy to clean and cute for interior design. And we put a photo we took inside," offering the item for 60,000 won.
In the end, the calculator was sold for 20,000 won, the tumbler for 25,000 won, Kim Jong-kook's team's clothes for 6,000 won, and Yoo Jae-suk's team's wig for 21,000 won.
Afterward, Kim Jong-kook's team won through a roulette spin, and Yoo Jae-suk's team had to perform the punishment of breaking the pot.
It airs on Sundays at 6:15 PM on SBS.
