Yoo Jae-suk was surprised by Kim Jong-kook's changed attitude.
The SBS variety show 'Running Man', aired on the afternoon of the 19th, featured an episode titled 'If You Find It, It's Yours, Gold Hunters', where they used metal detectors to find 50 gold coins.
On this day, Yang Se-hyung and Jeon So-min appeared as guest stars. The first mission involving the gold search tool was called 'Will You Admit It? Or Not?' where they attacked the opposing team with hard-to-admit questions, and if three or more team members admitted, they would remove one sign. The team that folded four signs first won.
When the production team said, "We will also post it on Running Man's SNS," the members warned Jeon So-min, saying, "Don't ask weird questions, So-min." To this, Jeon So-min replied, "I came here to make money today. I need to take the gold," hinting at her intentions.
The first question from Jong-kook's team was, "Have you kissed anyone in the past week?" So-min called Yang Se-chan to do it now, and Yang Se-hyung said, "Then I should join in too..." Yoo Jae-suk suggested, "Can we do a half-kiss?" and Ha-ha mocked, "Didn't you just go for it, but your wife went 'ugh' and closed her mouth?" which made everyone laugh.
Yoo Jae-suk explained, "Given the circumstances, since I have kids..." and asked for understanding for the half-kiss, but Jong-kook's team insisted, "Our question was a full kiss," and did not accept it.
Ji Suk-jin said, "It's embarrassing to talk about married life, but we do it more than five times a week," to which Ha-ha exclaimed, "Hyung, don't lie! I did it yesterday! I really did!" and called his wife Byul. However, when Byul hung up, Ha-ha pleaded, "I was crazy yesterday, please believe me."
The Jae-suk team asked, "I have an IQ of 100 or below." Ha-ha admitted, "I got 97 during puberty." Ji Suk-jin asked, "Song Ji-hyo, is your IQ below 100?" and Song Ji-hyo coolly replied, "Yes, I'm below 100. I have no concentration and a low IQ." Kim Jong-kook, who was next to her, joked, "Let's be honest among those of us who have been here a long time, Ji-hyo, you have to admit it," making everyone laugh.
The Jae-suk team also asked, "Am I currently in a romantic relationship? Not with my wife." When Ha-ha said, "I always think I'm in a relationship with my wife," the Jae-suk team responded, "Not with your wife! We don't know!" Yang Se-hyung spread rumors, saying, "Is it okay for someone else to admit this? I saw Ha-ha with another woman at Hapjeong Station's back alley holding hands, and he told me to be quiet. It's Jeong-yeon, right?"
Afterwards, the rules changed so that only two signs needed to be folded to win, and Jong-kook's team asked, "I have good reflexes, so if you poke me, I can ad-lib? The production team must all laugh." Yang Se-chan picked up a magic trick thrown by Yang Se-hyung and drew on the faces of his teammates to get recognized. Yoo Jae-suk did a three-line poem with 'Yeongjongdo', and Ji Suk-jin did one with 'Office', which was acknowledged by director Kang Chan-hee.
With the Jae-suk team leading 2 to 1, they asked Jong-kook's team, "I will quit Running Man this year." Kim Jong-kook quickly replied, "No," and Yoo Jae-suk expressed his surprise, saying, "He got married and... if it were in the past, he would have said 'I won't do it,' but he's changed," noting the change in Kim Jong-kook's attitude after marriage. Jeon So-min also asked, "Why have you become so cautious?"
Yang Se-hyung fabricated another story, saying to Ha-ha, "Please be honest. You cried and said you were unhappy with your appearance fee." He then asked, "Is it okay to talk about member discord? Ha-ha has said for a long time that he wished Suk-jin would leave Running Man," creating another plausible lie that made the studio burst into laughter. Ji Suk-jin angrily responded, "Weren't you guys saying you were going to quit Running Man? You guys?"
The Jae-suk team, who won the game, allowed So-min and Se-chan to obtain two metal detectors, while only Daniel from the losing team got one.

Afterwards, the members enjoyed a feast of grilled clams and seafood kalguksu. However, there were hints around the restaurant to find the gold informant, and the members expressed their suspicion, saying, "Something's off today?" and "Why are they just giving it to us?" while still enjoying their meal.
During the break, only Ha-ha and Yoo Jae-suk checked the hints. Yoo Jae-suk said, "I was going to eat the dipping sauce, but it was stuck underneath. I must be the only one who saw it," and began searching for the gold informant. Ha-ha mentioned, "Jong-seo was wearing gold on his pinky," and looked for PD Jong-seo.
Upon realizing that PD Jong-seo was the gold informant, Yoo Jae-suk exclaimed, "I can't believe this," and shouted 'Gold' in front of the PD, receiving a hint that led to 'the small room on the second floor of the mudflat experience center.' Upon arriving at the small room, Yoo Jae-suk and Ha-ha received auditory hints and hints of clam smells.
The second mission involved bringing a tiny flag stuck in the sandy beach to the finish line, with the first match being Yoo Jae-suk vs. Kim Jong-kook. However, both were flustered by the small size of the flag and began digging into the ground, with Kim Jong-kook noticing the dust and entering the finish line first.
The third match was a fight between the Yang brothers. Yang Se-hyung won by claiming 8 out of 15 flags.
Afterwards, Yoo Jae-suk, who obtained a hint with a red object drawn on it, discovered a plastic container covered in coins and claimed victory.
The penalty participants Kim Jong-kook, Ha-ha, Choi Daniel, and Song Ji-hyo performed a penalty roll on the mudflat.
It airs on Sundays at 6:15 PM on SBS.
