Unexpected Encounters on 'Running Man': Superstar's Relative and Quirky Marriage Advice Steal the Show

SBS's popular variety show 'Running Man' is set to deliver an episode filled with surprising encounters and humorous situations today (14th).

The race segment, themed 'Straight Ahead as Answered,' requires the members to create sentences based on their written responses and complete assigned missions within a time limit to avoid penalties. While rushing to complete their tasks, the cast stumbled upon a relative of a nationally beloved superstar, leading to much excitement.

Upon seeing the relative, who bore a striking resemblance with a similar smiling expression, Yoo Jae-suk immediately pulled out his phone to search his contacts. Adding to the hilarity, Ji Suk-jin questioned Yoo Jae-suk about the authenticity of the contact information, leaving everyone in stitches. The identity of this superstar, who managed to fluster even Ji Suk-jin, a veteran of 34 years, is a major point of curiosity for viewers.

Meanwhile, the members were also seen desperately calling out a single name while wandering under the hot sun, reminiscent of searching for 'Mr. Kim in Seoul.' Their earnest search drew curious glances from passersby. During this search, Kim Jong-kook received a uniquely phrased marriage blessing from a citizen, causing widespread laughter.

Slightly embarrassed by the unusual well-wishes, Kim Jong-kook remarked, "Don't people usually just wish for happiness?" expressing his bewilderment. The nature of this peculiar blessing that managed to surprise the usually stoic Kim Jong-kook is highly anticipated.

Will the person the members were so desperately searching for make an appearance? The outcome of the 'Straight Ahead as Answered' race, where answers determine destiny, will be revealed on 'Running Man' airing today at 6:10 PM.

'Running Man' has been a flagship variety show in South Korea since its premiere in 2010, known for its challenging missions and the strong chemistry among its cast members. The show enjoys a significant international fanbase. This upcoming episode promises ample entertainment through unpredictable scenarios and the cast's genuine reactions.
