That’s actually a great PR move.Īlready annoyed at the idea of biking alongside the course, Jae-suk adopts the “figure-it-out-yourselves” approach with his participants: “Just go this way and you’ll find. Once everyone arrives, he explains that there are various mini-mission checkpoints, and when asked how long the race is, Jae-suk snaps in annoyance, “How am I supposed to know?” The prize: the winning group’s music video will be played on a big screen all day. HA.Īs expected, Jae-suk arrives first to learn about the first mission-a relay marathon race-where the MC will follow from start to finish. Cut to: the Orange Team, sitting in awkward silence. As MC, Jae-suk will be traveling alone, and kickin’ it alone already sounds like boring times.Īw cute-Ji-hyo reveals herself to be a 2PM fan in the van, as evidenced by her lyrical knowledge of “Don’t Go,” one of Jun.K’s songs. Turns out Jae-suk’s tri-colored shirt is representative for today’s three teams: Green (2NE1, Gary, and Jong-kook), Blue (2PM and Ji-hyo), and Orange (MYSTIC89, Suk-jin, Haha, and Kwang-soo). Feeling lonely as the only CEO, Jong-shin jokingly wonders where the other founders from JYP (2PM) and YG (2NE1) are. Our ajusshi-dols’ (A-dols) spirit fingers performance quickly dissolves into playing Ring Around the Rosie until Jae-suk finally puts them out of their misery. Meet the labelmates from MYSTIC89: Yoon Jong-shin, Muzie, and Jo Jung-chi, who are carefully escorted to the stage. There’s a third “idol” group joining us today, though Jae-suk shakes his head worriedly over these personalities. Never to let an opportunity to make fun of Jong-kook pass him, Jae-suk promptly points out how Jong-kook’s El Tigre sweater confuses him because now he can’t tell who’s appearing on this show today. And yes, it’s still one of my favorite moments in Running Man EVER. Rather than Gary and Jong-kook dancing with the girls, what makes this particular intro memorable is the throwback to Jong-kook’s hip-hop move and the lesson in voiceover. Then our next guests burst on stage- 2NE1: CL, Park Bom, Sandara Park, and Minzy. When Jae-suk asks what “that person” is up to, Nichkhun answers (talking about Taec): “Shooting a weekend drama.”īut Jae-suk plainly states that he meant Tiffany, so the idol star directly answers that she’s resting today, to which Jae-suk tosses back, “So you did talk to her this morning.” Lol. Nichkhun sidesteps the topic like a champ, announcing that he’s happy as a clam. I’ll be honest-for a second there, I thought Jae-suk might have been referencing the idol star’s DUI incident a couple of years back (which led to a hiatus of little to no television appearances), but thankfully he’s talking about more cheery news… like a certain relationship with SNSD’s Tiffany. Jae-suk remarks that he’s most surprised to see Nichkhun today, which has the latter flustered from the start. She might even get to enjoy her dreamy moment more if only it weren’t for Jae-suk’s sideline commentary, like how she’s old enough to be the boys’ “auntie” instead of “noona.” They’re joined onstage by our lovely Ji-hyo, who holds her own during their group performance. (For the curious, Taecyeon was busy on set for Wonderful Season.) Time to introduce our first idol group: 2PM ( Jun.K, Nichkhun, Wooyoung, Lee Junho, and Chansung). #Kissasian running man 63 professionalNevertheless, Jae-suk assumes his role with professional ease, and I have to say it never fails to impress me how the nation’s MC can just turn it on like that. He cottons on to the idea that he’ll be a spectator to today’s events, but still asks, “But… why am I dressed like this?” Here to host this year’s Idol Athletic Championships is none other than Jae-suk, who’s dressed in his amazing technicolor dream shirt. And if the preview clips are any indication, it’ll be both disruptive and hilarious. We’ve seen Running Man take their own inventive spin on the classic nametag ripping game to varying levels over its nearly four-year history, but today the show is taking it one step further: live commentary. It’s time to bring back old memories and cement them with new ones because this is one game you don’t want to miss. Sometimes it’s good know what’s going on, but then again, you could turn around to find the MC announce to the world your precise location. Just when you thought you saw every variation of nametag ripping under the sun, Running Man takes that preconception and turns it on a dime, adding a whole new element for your entertainment pleasure: up- to-the-minute commentary. 89 Running Man: Episode 195 by gummimochi
