The members of 'Running Man' cleaned up Kim Jong-kook's house.
The SBS variety show 'Running Man', aired on the afternoon of the 23rd, was themed 'SOS Severe Cleaning Zone'.
In this episode, the production team explained, "We decided to create the SOS Severe Cleaning Zone episode based on the members' opinions that they wanted to clean up Kim Jong-kook's messy house from last week." Haha said, "I heard there's a room full of plastic bags?" and Yoo Jae-suk claimed, "The refrigerator is full of sauce containers," asserting that Kim Jong-kook's place was messy.
The members headed to Kim Jong-kook's house and smiled as soon as they saw the air purifier at the entrance. They initially thought the house was cleaned up for filming, but then exclaimed, "Oh, it's still the same... Look! Do you remember when we came two years ago, the wall of clothes was halfway? Now it's coming out to the middle of the living room. It's really our ugly duckling."
Yoo Jae-suk then remarked, "The most serious place is here. How are we supposed to get in?" as he looked at the balcony filled with plastic bags. He then opened the refrigerator door, saying, "Please don't be shocked," and was taken aback to see it filled with leftover side dishes and coffee.
Kim Jong-kook defended himself, saying, "I do recycle when I collect trash. I separate the recyclables and throw away the plastic, but I bring back the big bags. I'm not collecting!" He also mentioned about the side dishes, "I write on the request, 'Please don't give me side dish containers.' But since they are new, I think I will eat them someday. But I don't eat them, so I keep them. The next day, they give me more side dish containers. It's been about a year? I think I should throw them away, but I have to wash them first." Haha responded, "Then go down and live with a lantern!" feeling frustrated.
Haha asked, "When we first came, it was a clothes room, but now it's a storage room, right? If you look over there, there are many gifts. There are many brands and luxury items, but why don't you wear them?" Kim Jong-kook replied, "I don't wear luxury items. Wearing luxury feels like a punishment. I have XOL shoes, should I give them to you?" Haha and Yang Se-chan laughed, saying, "Me! I wear size 275! I wear from 230 to 290," showing their interest in luxury items.
Upon arriving at the room filled with clothes, Kim Jong-kook handed XOL shoes to Seok-jin, who was celebrating his birthday. Ji Seok-jin read a letter and said, "Thank you always, Jong-kook," revealing that it was a gift from someone. Jong-kook was surprised, "Who are you? Oh, this is from Bopil!" and Yoo Jae-suk and Song Ji-hyo expressed their disappointment, saying, "Bopil! Why didn't you give us any?"
Ji Seok-jin said, "Thank you, Bopil. Jong-kook sang the congratulatory song, but I get the gift," and put on the shoes.
Later, Kim Jong-kook brought two boxes and asked, "Who wants this?" handing out luxury slippers, exciting the members.
Eventually, the production team gave them one hour to clean up, and Jong-kook said, "I can't give up the plastic bags," showing his unwillingness to compromise.
While cleaning the house, Yang Se-chan remarked, "If you sell this, it could be worth 20 million won," and while cleaning the room full of clothes, Se-chan opened a box and said to Haha, "Look! This is X!" Upon confirming it was a luxury item, he exclaimed, "Oh, this is mine!" and Haha replied, "This would suit me well," showing their competitive spirit.
Lunchtime arrived, and Ji Yae-eun, upon the production team's suggestion to make seaweed soup, asked, "Where's the pot, Jong-kook? Is it not rotten?" as she combined the seasonings. Yoo Jae-suk worriedly said, "Yae-eun, or we can make it!" and Ji Yae-eun replied, "I'll just make one serving!" and started soaking eight servings of seaweed.
Haha shouted, "It can't taste bad because it's seaweed soup!" and Ji Yae-eun casually replied, "It's my first time making it." Yae-eun was shocked to see expired seasonings.
After tasting the seaweed soup, Yae-eun exclaimed, "Oh, it's delicious! Seriously delicious! It's completely done! If there's any left, please eat this. Have some soup!" while serving the not yet boiled seaweed soup.
The first to taste the seaweed soup, Yoo Jae-suk sighed without saying a word, and the other members' expressions also hardened. He then commented, "The sesame oil flavor is too strong..." and Haha grimaced, saying, "It's salty but bland."
Kim Jong-kook tried to wrap it up, saying, "What does this taste like? It's like when we went to a retreat... you know that taste?"
After the meal, the production team announced, "'Unity in front of the prize' mission will be conducted. There is also a special prize for Jong-kook. You will see pictures on the monitor in order, and you need to say the correct answer," explaining the rules.
The first player, Yoo Jae-suk, saw a picture of Faker and exclaimed, "Of course I know! Wait, suddenly I can't think!" and panicked.
He continued, "It's not that I don't know... I saw it! I know it very well!" and recalled his name, while Haha said, "Now we're in big trouble," and Yang Se-chan added, "Let's leave it to fate." However, within 30 seconds, he correctly answered, "You're too close to me! Faker."
In the next game, Ji Seok-jin saw a picture of Ryan Gosling and wondered, "How would I know this person? This person wouldn't know me either, right?" He was baffled. The production team, unable to hold back, gave a hint, saying, "The front is Ryan," and Ji Seok-jin loudly answered, "Lion King!" causing everyone to burst into laughter.
After six rounds, the members failed the game and lost six gifts, but through a draw, Yang Se-chan, Ji Seok-jin, Ji Yae-eun, and Song Ji-hyo won Jong-kook's luxury gifts.
Kim Jong-kook, who provided the house, won a 2 million won gift certificate.
It airs on Sundays at 6:15 PM on SBS.
