"Running Man" is teasing plenty of laughter with playful congratulations for Yu Jae-seok, who was awarded the Bogwan Order of Cultural Merit 35 years after his debut, and the arrival of "autumn balladeer" KYUHYUN.
On SBS's "Running Man," airing this Sunday, November 15, at 6:10 p.m., the "Autumn To Be Continued" race will unfold as the cast enjoys the autumn atmosphere with KYUHYUN, who has returned with his seventh mini album "CONTINUE."
The recent shoot opened with enthusiastic congratulations for Yu Jae-seok. Having received the Bogwan Order of Cultural Merit at the "2026 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards" 35 years after his debut, Yu Jae-seok shared his joy amid applause from the cast and production crew.
However, the heartwarming moment was short-lived, as the members soon showered him with teasing remarks, saying, "All you have to do now is run for office," and "Hyung-nim, now you only have one left," instantly turning the opening into a sea of laughter.
KYUHYUN then made a welcome appearance as a guest to add to the autumn sentiment. Marking his ninth appearance on "Running Man," KYUHYUN showed off great chemistry with the cast from the very start. In particular, at Yu Jae-seok's request, he delivered a flavorful rendition of SHINee's "Love Like Oxygen," followed by an impromptu live performance of his new song "I'll Be Here." Despite the early morning filming, KYUHYUN displayed flawless vocal skills, drawing admiration from the members.
The "Autumn To Be Continued" race, which began in earnest, was conducted as a mission where members chose between hints divided into "high" and "low" difficulty levels to locate scenic autumn foliage photo spots. Only by arriving accurately at the destination could they earn mission money needed to buy penalty exemption passes and meals. However, the members failed to reach a consensus, each putting forward different interpretations of the hints, and eventually raised their voices in a tense standoff, reportedly turning what was meant to be a relaxing autumn outing into an endless verbal battle.
Whether the members will be able to overcome their sharp conflict of opinions and successfully find the autumn foliage spot hidden in the hints will be revealed on "Running Man," airing on Sunday, November 15, at 6:10 p.m.
