'Running Man' showcased a messy love square.
The SBS variety show 'Running Man' aired an episode titled 'A Good Day for Being Single' on the afternoon of the 27th.
On this day, Kai and Kim Ah-young appeared as guests in place of Choi Daniel, who was absent due to overseas schedules. Ji Yeo-eun confessed her fan feelings, saying, "I liked Kai the most. I liked him since 'Growl' because he dances the best."
The production team explained, "Today, we will first select couples. Since there are a total of 9 people, one person will remain single. By the way, the clay room is 98 degrees, the clay ball room is 70 degrees, the salt room is 84 degrees, and there are ice and oxygen rooms. Ladies will go in first."
As Song Ji-hyo chose the salt room, Ji Yeo-eun entered the ice room, Kim Ah-young entered the ice room, and Ji Seok-jin entered the clay ball room in turn. As a result of all members choosing rooms, Yoo Jae-suk and Kim Jong-kook, Ji Yeo-eun and Kim Ah-young, Ha Ha and Song Ji-hyo formed pairs, and Kai ended up being single.
The production team stated, "April 17th is Single Day, and today is the best day to be single. It will be an unfavorable day for couples," explaining the rules.
The first game began, and the production team said, "We will divide into teams of 4, and Kai can join any team he wants. This time, we will solve questions with multiple answers. Kai's team only needs to get 4 out of 5 correct. You can pass once at any moment," prompting Kai to choose Ji Yeo-eun's team.
A question about guessing the members of the girl group Aespa was posed, and after several attempts, Yoo Jae-suk's team won the first victory. Following a question about words starting with the letter 'A', a question about words starting with the letter 'C' was asked, and Yoo Jae-suk's team continued to answer correctly.
As Kai kept using his 'pass' and said, "It's Se-chan's fault!" shifting the blame, Yang Se-chan's love interest Kim Ah-young defended him, saying, "Why is this Se-chan's fault?" which made everyone smile.
After a fierce competition, Yoo Jae-suk's team emerged victorious, and the production team announced, "There is another benefit for the single. A limousine and a compact car are prepared. The single will ride in the limousine, while the couples will drive the compact car themselves. Since the limousine might be too spacious, we want to give Kai the choice," presenting a benefit just for Kai.
Ji Yeo-eun kept appealing, saying, "I'm a fan of Kai!" but Kai surprised everyone by choosing Kim Ah-young, saying, "Shall we ride together, Ah-young?"
Kai and Kim Ah-young, who boarded the limousine, spent their time together. Kim Ah-young, sipping non-alcoholic champagne, flirted, asking, "Do you have a type?" to which Kai replied, "Someone who loves their work?"
When Kim Ah-young responded, "I feel like I'm dating myself these days," Kai asked, "Isn't there an empty spot?" When asked about his type, Kim Ah-young said, "Someone who dances well... someone with good energy?" pointing to Kai, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
Kai complimented, "I watch a lot of videos, and it's amazing. You look much prettier in person," to which Kim Ah-young blushed and replied, "Really? Is this a joke? Driver, can you go around one more time?"
The members then carried out a lunch mission at a Chinese restaurant. If two people chose the same menu, they became a couple, resulting in Yang Se-chan and Kai, Ji Seok-jin and Kim Jong-kook, Ha Ha and Song Ji-hyo, and Yoo Jae-suk and Kim Ah-young pairing up.
Ji Yeo-eun, who became single, ordered Jajangmyeon and Sweet and Sour Pork and dined alone, saying, "I'm the only one eating, what should I do~ I'm a 'bubuk' person," showcasing her eating skills. Yoo Jae-suk laughed, saying, "Is today a mukbang YouTuber fan meeting?"
The members cheered, "Eating champion!" and Ji Yeo-eun exclaimed, "How did I end up like this?" enjoying her meal.
Later, Ji Yeo-eun got to ride in the limousine with Kai and asked, "What is your type?" When Kai replied, "Someone who loves their work?" she said, "That's me."
Continuing with the MBTI question, she said, "Totally matches me! I'm very spontaneous, so it fits well. I think we match," continuously appealing.
She added, "You said you like SNL... then you must like me? I like you," casting a spell that left Kai dazed. Kai laughed, saying, "From today, my ideal type is... I didn't know," creating a humorous moment.
Upon arriving at the final mission location, they participated in a balloon-popping question-answering game. Yoo Jae-suk and Kim Ah-young's team threw darts and shouted "Pound!" to answer correctly and received one badge.
As a result of the ball draw, Song Ji-hyo and Yang Se-chan ended up having to perform the worst penalty.
It airs on Sundays at 6:15 PM on SBS.
