The members of 'Running Man' made a surprise visit to Choi Daniel's home.
In the episode aired on the afternoon of the 6th, new rental member Choi Daniel made his appearance on the SBS variety show 'Running Man'.
On this day, the opening was divided into two teams: Yoo Jae-suk, Ha Ha, and Yang Se-chan, and Ji Suk-jin, Kim Jong-kook, Song Ji-hyo, and Ji Ye-eun. The production team explained, "Today is the day new rental member Choi Daniel joins us. The three of you need to get Daniel, who knows nothing, to work early. If you bring him within 30 minutes, you will receive 500,000 won. Just so you know, if you rush him with comments, 10,000 won will be deducted from the budget, and if Choi Daniel notices, another 10,000 won will be deducted. Instead, you can say that you are filming a vlog for the rental member's first day at work to prepare him naturally."
The production team added, "The rest of you are preparing a welcome ceremony," explaining the reason for dividing the teams.
When Choi Daniel opened the front door, he exclaimed, "What is this?" and the members were surprised, saying, "What happened to your face?" With an unshaven beard, Choi Daniel said, "What kind of vlog is this... You could film a vlog outside, why here! I haven't shaved for two days because I didn't have a shoot yesterday," trying to calm his surprise.
Yoo Jae-suk looked around the house and said, "Daniel... it's currently fine dust. I thought this was an air purifier because it was in front of me, but it's a suitcase," while Yang Se-chan started working to reduce preparation time, saying, "You look better without shaving." When Choi Daniel asked, "Why are you here?" the members recalled the rules explained by the production team and felt a sense of crisis.
Seeing this, Ha Ha urged, "Let's just go out!" and eventually, 10,000 won was deducted from the budget. Choi Daniel then offered, "Would you like some water? Do you want some eggs? I'll give you honey tea!" and started chatting. Ultimately, the members said, "We'll take care of it," reducing the time, and Choi Daniel expressed disbelief, saying, "You guys barged into my house."
When Choi Daniel didn't go to wash up, Ha Ha suggested, "Let's just pour shampoo on his head," and poured shampoo on Choi Daniel's head. Daniel exclaimed, "That's shampoo!" but then added, "It's Rwandan natural honey. Anyway, I'll go wash up," and went to clean himself.
Choi Daniel continued to divert the conversation, saying, "I have 'Running Man' clothes too!" but the members insisted, "That's enough!" and guided him outside. Even then, Daniel kept chatting, saying, "I made soap for the fans to give them at the fan meeting," "Oh, I haven't fed my dog!", "I have goods I made for the fan meeting."
After a series of twists and turns, they hurriedly headed to where other members were making a cake. Choi Daniel asked, "Have you seen Ji-hee recently, hyung?" inquiring about Jin Ji-hee's recent status. He added, "I haven't been on Instagram for a year, but I followed Ji-hee. But... I was the only one who followed her," laughing.
Hearing this, the members exclaimed, "Did Ji-hee not follow you back?", "You should send her a message," to which Choi Daniel shyly replied, "That's embarrassing."
The production team announced, "Let me inform you of the remaining budget. Yoo Jae-suk's team took more than an hour. So they earned 200,000 won, but due to five instances of rushing and suspicion, the final budget is 150,000 won. The welcome ceremony preparation team spent 66,500 won at a cafe, so the current budget is 83,500 won."
Before moving to the mission location, Yoo Jae-suk bought drinks for the members, and the production team stated, "Today, there will be no personal expenses, so we will deduct everything." They continued, "We will do a mission to eliminate the personal expense of 31,600 won. The representative will be lifted and the member who flies will memorize the menu behind the wall and say it."
Ha Ha joked, "Isn't Ji-eun 72kg now? That's the same as me."
When Yoo Jae-suk leaned in and said, "Just whisper to me," Ji Ye-eun replied, "I weigh more than my sister. There's a mic here! 45kg," drawing jeers from the members. Ha Ha then teased, "Not just the upper body, but include the lower body and everything!" and Choi Daniel added, "If you're 172cm, you should weigh around 58-59kg."
When Ji Ye-eun exclaimed, "What do you mean 58kg? I don't weigh 58kg," Choi Daniel asked dramatically, "Do you weigh more?" causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Yoo Jae-suk participated as the representative and only got two correct answers. Ji Ye-eun was the third to participate after Song Ji-hyo, and she worried, "But I'm heavy, right?" When Choi Daniel lifted Ji Ye-eun, he remarked, "This is a bit different," and Kim Jong-kook said, "You can't throw her, just lift her," surprised by Ji Ye-eun's unexpectedly heavy weight. After the lift, Yoo Jae-suk and Choi Daniel collapsed, saying, "I feel like I'm going to throw up," while Kim Jong-kook also struggled, exclaiming, "Wow, this is a gradual overload!"
After the mission, the budget increased to 100,000 won, and the members had lunch with Choi Daniel's favorite dish, Sundae Gukbap.
Choi Daniel mentioned, "I called after the 'Running Man' shoot," referring to Kim Ah-young, with whom he exchanged numbers in a previous episode.
Daniel expressed disappointment, saying, "But her phone was off? I thought I would get a callback, but I didn't. So I wondered if this was for the show," to which Yoo Jae-suk responded, "If it was off, doesn't that mean she wants you to stop calling?"
The production team announced, "Choi Daniel wanted to go out for a picnic, so we will head to Dumulmeori. We will also take this opportunity to give Ji Ye-eun driving lessons." When Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Have you ever driven?" Ji Ye-eun replied, "No, I haven't," shocking the members who exclaimed, "No way!"
Afterward, Yoo Jae-suk personally began Ji Ye-eun's driving lesson before heading to the next filming location.
It airs on Sundays at 6:15 PM on SBS.
