Will "Running Man" be able to use the corporate card?
On the October 25 broadcast of SBS's "Running Man," the "Corporate Card Odyssey" race took place in Jongno 3-ga.
On this day, the production team unveiled the "Corporate Card Odyssey," introducing it as a "race set in Jongno 3-ga, selected by CNN and Time Out as one of the world's coolest neighborhoods."
The production team explained that they had prepared a corporate card for the cast members, who were filming together for the first time in three weeks. However, there was a catch: to use the corporate card, certain conditions had to be met. If they failed to satisfy the conditions, the members would have to cover all their expenses using their personal cards.
The production team then presented a quiz for a chance to obtain the first corporate card. They drew attention by singling out Yang Sechan, one of the "Kkang-kkang" members.
Yang Sechan had to deduce the hiding spot of the corporate card from the answer to the quiz. Although he knew the correct answer, he was unable to find the corporate card within the time limit, leaving everyone disappointed.
Even after that, the members were unable to use the corporate card a single time and faced their final opportunity. Unaware of what lay ahead, the members overspent, and the final bill to be settled amounted to a large sum exceeding 500,000 won.
However, the members also showed a heartwarming side that caught viewers' attention, such as gifting a pair of mandarin ducks to Ji Ye-eun ahead of her wedding.
The low-difficulty quiz, which required every single member to answer correctly to succeed, asked them to name "the longest river in our country." The "Brain line," consisting of Yu Jae-seok, Jee Seokjin, and Kim Jong-kook, answered correctly with ease.
However, the "Kkang-kkang line," starting with HAHA, struggled to think of the answer, creating suspense for viewers. Even so, HAHA, Ji Ye-eun, and Song Jihyo all answered correctly, raising hopes for success.
Yet Yang Sechan ultimately failed to come up with the correct answer, blowing their final chance to secure the corporate card and leaving everyone disappointed.
The final payment rule required members, in the order they answered the quiz correctly, to locate cards hidden throughout the building and pay whatever portion of the bill they wished. Since the only goal was to avoid finishing in last place, everyone focused intently on getting the correct answer for the final mission.
While the "Brain line" answered the quiz one after another, Jee Seokjin grew increasingly nervous at the strong showing of the "Kkang-kkang" members, which defied his expectations.
Defying expectations, Jee Seokjin was the last one remaining, surprising everyone. In the end, Jee Seokjin was stuck paying the entire remaining balance left over after the other members made their payments.
At this, Yu Jae-seok said, "Hyung, the bill won't leave you feeling disappointed." The other members chimed in, saying, "Everyone probably paid about 50,000 won each."
However, the amount Jee Seokjin had to pay was 516,000 won out of the 572,000 won total. The member who paid the highest amount was HAHA, who contributed 30,000 won. The lowest payments were made by Yang Sechan and Ji Ye-eun, who each paid just 1,000 won.
At this, Jee Seokjin snapped, "What on earth did you guys do?" But soon after, he coolly paid the balance in a single lump sum, remarking, "Since I bought what you all liked, I bought it with a joyful heart," creating a heartwarming moment.
Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, a preview announced guest appearances by Lee Hyun-jung, a key player in the Asian Games men's basketball gold medal victory, and Kim Min-jong, an Asian Games judo bronze medalist, raising anticipation for the next episode.
