Park Eun-tae, Lee Seok-hoon, and Kyuhyun appeared on ‘Running Man’.
The SBS variety show ‘Running Man’ aired on the afternoon of the 2nd, themed ‘The One Who Laughs in Paradise’.
On this day’s broadcast, musical actors Park Eun-tae, Lee Seok-hoon, and Kyuhyun visited to promote the musical ‘The Man Who Laughs’. Lee Seok-hoon said, “It’s my first time appearing on a major variety show without glasses,” and hurriedly wore Ji Suk-jin’s glasses, which made the members laugh as they recognized him, saying, “Oh, it’s Seok-hoon!” When the legendary figure in the musical world, Park Eun-tae, introduced himself by saying, “I’ve been in musicals for about 19 years,” Yoo Jae-suk admired, “When someone like Eun-tae comes out, it sells out.”
Yoo Jae-suk then mentioned Park Eun-tae’s wife, saying, “Eun-tae’s wife is Papaya! I was surprised,” to which Park Eun-tae replied, “Yes, it’s Ko Eun-chae from Papaya,” surprising the members. When Kyuhyun said, “She came to cheer for you today. She’s hiding right now,” Park Eun-tae explained, “Right now, she’s playing the role of my manager.” Yoo Jae-suk chuckled and asked, “How is it? There are good points, but…” while Haha expressed, “Why! Just go freely…” which made everyone burst into laughter.
The production team explained, “If you submit a ticket to Paradise, you can go to Paradise, but if the ticket is damaged, it cannot be used,” and introduced the first mission: “The first mission is RC cars in Paradise. If you close your eyes and press the button, you will earn points based on where the car stops. The first-place team will receive 5 tickets, the second-place team will receive 3 tickets, and the third-place team will receive 2 tickets.”
Divided into the Sister Team, Glasses Team, and the Remaining Team, the first challenger was Lee Seok-hoon. He closed his eyes and collided with the RC car, and the next player, Haha, also failed, bringing laughter to everyone. Yoo Jae-suk was the last to go from the Glasses Team, but all four failed, earning 0 points.
Among the Remaining Team, only Kyuhyun scored 5 points, while the Sister Team also took their turn, with Ji Yea-eun going next and landing the car right in front of her face, earning 10 points. Kim Jong-kook remarked, “How can she have a much lower nose than us…”, and Yang Se-chan protested, “Did her nose get hit by someone? Then I should ask my brother to hit me too!” Ji Yea-eun exclaimed, “Is it a crime to have no nose? Is it a crime to have no nose! It’s because my nose is low!”
The production team explained, “To go to the first Paradise, you need to submit 2 tickets. You can go one by one to submit them,” and when Yang Se-chan asked Ji Yea-eun, “Just give me one ticket,” Park Eun-tae generously offered, “I’ll give you one. I’m a fan.” Seeing this, teammates Song Ji-hyo and Ji Yea-eun, along with Haha and Lee Seok-hoon from the other team, urged him, “You shouldn’t do this much!”, “You can’t just spend like this!” and Kyuhyun added, “You’re so kind…”
Park Eun-tae said, “I want to go comfortably and easily. I’ll go to Paradise,” and chose Paradise, where Yoo Jae-suk and Yang Se-chan were waiting, enjoying various foods. As soon as Park Eun-tae appeared, Yoo Jae-suk said, “Eun-tae, just use one of our tickets for the bungeoppang,” urging him to submit a ticket, and Park Eun-tae surprised Yoo Jae-suk by immediately submitting a ticket, saying, “Should I?” After that, Ji Yea-eun and Song Ji-hyo appeared, and Yoo Jae-suk insisted, “You have to submit one ticket each here. We have five tickets, and it doesn’t make sense if you don’t submit one each.”
When Song Ji-hyo and Ji Yea-eun said, “No! I won’t submit!” Park Eun-tae, who had been quietly watching, said, “I’ll just cover it with mine!” which made the production team burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook, Haha, and Yang Se-chan, who went to the Hell Team, began making bungeoppang upon hearing, “You must make food as soon as an order comes in from the Paradise Team. You need to submit a ticket to eat the food.”
At the same time, the Paradise Team discovered a claw machine, and upon hearing that one ticket allows for three tries, Park Eun-tae said, “Use my ticket~ I’ll use it! There are so many here!” showing his angelic side once again, making it hard for the members. The first to go, Yang Se-chan, grabbed a teddy bear and, on his very first try, won both the toy and the ticket, causing the members to cheer.
Upon arriving at the next mission location, the karaoke room, the members were told, “The mission to earn tickets to Paradise is ‘The One Who Sings the Correct Answer’. The team that answers correctly will accumulate 2 tickets. If it’s correct, you must sing along to the accompaniment.” They divided into teams.
When the song “To Be a Page” by Day6, Yoo Jae-suk’s favorite, played, Kyuhyun and Ji Yea-eun sang passionately, while Ji Suk-jin, who had been getting picked on every day, rummaged through Kyuhyun’s bag and stole a ticket.
As the last song, Sistar’s “Shake It” played, Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Suk-jin obtained tickets, and Kyuhyun, noticing the tickets had disappeared, exclaimed, “These bastards, seriously…” in disbelief.
Choosing the Hell Team, Yoo Jae-suk, Kyuhyun, Song Ji-hyo, Yang Se-chan, and Ji Yea-eun were shocked by the instruction, “Find a citizen with something to celebrate and perform a congratulatory performance,” and protested vigorously, “Isn’t this a punishment? What are we celebrating?” Meanwhile, the Paradise Team enjoyed a delicious meal of oyster bossam, squid bossam, and gamjatang at a nearby restaurant, while the Hell Team strolled the streets.
They spotted a student who had been practicing taekwondo for five years and was a black belt, and sang, “Congratulations! Do-hyun, may you do well~ Do-hyun! Five years of taekwondo!” The student responded, “10 out of 10!” which made the members cheer.
They later met a six-month-old baby and a grandmother, performing congratulatory performances and receiving perfect scores of 10 three times in a row, allowing the Hell Team members to eat kalguksu.
After completing the third mission, ‘Hell Escape Relay’, it was revealed that to go to the final Paradise, 7 tickets were needed, and only Yoo Jae-suk, Park Eun-tae, Kyuhyun, Yang Se-chan, Song Ji-hyo, and Ji Yea-eun headed to Paradise.
Among them, Kyuhyun, Yang Se-chan, and Song Ji-hyo, who picked flower powder, along with Yoo Jae-suk, who had the most tickets, won honey as a prize.
‘Running Man’ airs every Sunday at 6:15 PM on SBS.
