On the recent episode of “Running Man” aired on May 5th, the show continued its success as the top-ranked entertainment program during its time slot, with a viewership rating of 2.2%. Additionally, it secured the second position in the 2049 demographic chart, falling just behind “My Ugly Old Boy.”
The episode featured singer Kwon Eun-bi as a guest, who participated in the “Return Go, Stop” race set on Ganghwa Island. Eun-bi, previously ‘banned’ from appearing on SBS, expressed gratitude to her fans for their support and engaged in playful banter with the show’s regular cast, particularly Ji Seok-jin.
Ji Seok-jin, known for his witty remarks, addressed Kwon Eun-bi’s nickname “Waterbomb Goddess” and humorously inquired about her earnings from the popular water-based event. Eun-bi cheekily responded, suggesting that her appearance fees for “Waterbomb” surpass Ji Seok-jin’s fees for “Running Man”.
Throughout the episode, the duo continued to tease each other, highlighting each other’s weaknesses and playfully challenging one another during the various race segments. Despite Ji Seok-jin’s encouraging words predicting Eun-bi’s success in certain challenges, the outcomes provided comic relief as Eun-bi faced unexpected setbacks.
In one instance, after a race where Eun-bi ranked fourth and Ji Seok-jin finished last, Ji Seok-jin jokingly claimed to have let Eun-bi win, generating laughter among the cast and audience.
The lighthearted exchanges and amusing dynamics between Kwon Eun-bi and Ji Seok-jin added an entertaining twist to the episode, showcasing the fun and camaraderie typical of “Running Man”. As the show continues to attract viewers with its engaging content and celebrity interactions, fans eagerly anticipate future episodes filled with laughter and excitement.
