[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 12th, SBS's 'Running Man' aired with guests Ahn Bo-hyun, Ji E-su, Song Jin-woo, and Lee Joo-young making a strong impression.

On this episode of Running Man, four actors were invited as team leaders. Each came out one by one to showcase their talents and charms, and the members who were facing away turned twice to choose their favorite guests, forming teams.

Ahn Bo-hyun, who introduced himself as the "Busan Stone," sang "Doldongi" by Ha Hyun-woo, a song featured in 'Itaewon Class.' Ji E-su, who called herself the "Golden Hand of Seocho-gu," presented illustrations of the members she drew herself along with spaghetti. Yoo Jae-suk's caricature resembled Yang Se-chan, earning the nickname "Se-chan with glasses."

Song Jin-woo, a unique actor appearing as the "Songpa-dong Kkwadang," performed a variety of talents including a Nanta performance, walking on tiptoes, and lip-syncing, sparking curiosity among the members. Lastly, Lee Joo-young perfectly covered a song by Yoon Mi-rae, drawing admiration.

When asked if she had met any of the members before, Ji E-su replied, "Not even one." In response, Lee Kwang-soo said, "You appeared with me in 'Dear My Friends,'" and jokingly expressed frustration, making the members burst into laughter.

The members, having formed teams with the four guest leaders, started the game "Battle Royale: To Tear or Not to Tear." It was a three-round game. In the first round, Haha, Ji Seok-jin, Song Ji-hyo, and Lee Joo-young each gave a 5-second compliment talk. This game saw the variety show rookie Lee Joo-young surprisingly take the win.

The second round featured Song Jin-woo, Lee Joo-young, Ji E-su, and Yoo Jae-suk competing in a four-character idiom challenge. Given the first two characters of a four-character idiom, they had to guess the last two. Song Jin-woo was eliminated, and in the name tag tearing phase, Ji E-su and Lee Joo-young successfully attacked Yoo Jae-suk. In the final showdown between Ji E-su and Lee Joo-young, Lee Joo-young even performed a backward roll stunt, prompting Lee Kwang-soo to marvel, "Why go this far?"

The third round had Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Kwang-soo, Yang Se-chan, and Kim Jong-kook play a game where they heard a singer's name and had to sing a song. Kim Jong-kook was immediately eliminated after failing to sing any song upon hearing "Buzz." The other members sighed in relief, saying, "We crossed a big mountain." This round featured a spectacle where Lee Kwang-soo, a master at tearing name tags, easily took Ahn Bo-hyun's name tag.

Due to many ties, Song Jin-woo, Ahn Bo-hyun, Yang Se-chan, and Ji E-su had a rematch with 5-second compliment talks. In this game, the last two remaining, Ahn Bo-hyun and Ji E-su, exchanged over-the-top compliments, causing the members to complain, "It's chaos." Ultimately, the first place went to Ahn Bo-hyun's team, and second place to Ji E-su's team. Ahn Bo-hyun swapped team member Yoo Jae-suk with Yang Se-chan from Lee Joo-young's team, while Ji E-su made no changes.

While moving, the members enjoyed the frying pan game, where unexpectedly Yoo Jae-suk often made mistakes, becoming the target of teasing. Also, Ji Seok-jin was scolded for talking simultaneously while Yoo Jae-suk was speaking, with remarks like "Are you playing the game alone?" and "You do both offense and defense."

Next, a mission to act out given sentences with their bodies and a tail water gun fight followed, with Ahn Bo-hyun's team ultimately winning. Ahn Bo-hyun then swapped Haha with Kim Jong-kook from Song Jin-woo's team. It was also revealed that the devils were Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, and Lee Kwang-soo.

The final winners Ahn Bo-hyun, Kim Jong-kook, and Yang Se-chan won prizes in a draw: a tablet PC, a Korean beef set, and a Bluetooth speaker, respectively. Meanwhile, the devils Lee Kwang-soo and Haha took home Bluetooth earphones and a laptop, while Yoo Jae-suk alone drew the losing ticket.
