As fate would have it, Jeon So-min was connected to Jo Se-ho again.
According to Nielsen Korea, a viewership rating research company, on the 15th, SBS' 'Running Man', which aired on the 14th, ranked first in its time slot, recording a 2049 viewership rating of 2.6%, which is the target indicator. The highest viewership rating per minute soared to 5.1% (based on households in the metropolitan area).
On this day's broadcast, the members' crawling race was held to create the final concept for the age notice painting exhibition that followed last week. The members formed teams with the right to edit pictures and continued to have pleasant encounters with citizens. Song Ji-hyo's team took on the challenge of group rope jumping with three citizens. It wasn't easy to recruit citizens, but Jihyo's team succeeded in the almost impossible mission, checked the age notice drawings and used the right to edit to recreate all members' appearances into visuals beyond imagination.
Yoo Jae-seok's team, who succeeded in the karaoke mission with citizens and had the right to edit, was unable to edit the picture because they were busy with the mission. In the end, the fate of the final result was left to the shredding button. Jeon So-min desperately hoped, “We have to blow up Song Ji-hyo’s team picture.” As Kim Jong-kook pressed the button to shred all of Song Ji-hyo's team pictures at the last moment, Yoo Jae-seok's team's Running Fishery Market was confirmed as the final age notification concept.
Yoo Jae-seok turned into Jimmy Jib, Ji Suk-jin dressed as ET in a suit, Kim Jong-kook as Ma Dong-seok, Song Ji-hyo as Toshio, Haha as ET with a boom mic, Jeon So-min as a crayfish, and Yang Se-chan as a water splash. Afterwards, the 2023 Somin's selection race was also revealed, and comedian Jo Se-ho and actor Kang Hoon appeared as guests. Jeon So-min, who was pleased with Kang Hoon's appearance, asked, "Why are you showing me a favor?", but Yoo Jae-seok made people laugh by saying, "Today's recording was ruined."
Before selecting the first team, the two guests wrote answers to prepared questions in advance, and Jeon So-min chose an answer that was close to her preference. Jeon So-min struggled to become a team with Kang Hoon, but made a choice that was close to despair by choosing Jo Se-ho. The last question was what I thought about Jeon So-min. A wrote that he looks bright but sad, and B wrote that he is still a curious person.
Jeon So-min chose B, which was also Jo Se-ho. This scene recorded the highest viewership rating of 5.1% per minute and took the top minute. The members were surprised by the two people's fateful choice, but Yoo Jae-seok drew a line, saying, "We are not interested in each other." Jo Se-ho, who eventually teamed up with Jeon So-min, comforted Jeon So-min, saying, "I will make sure everything goes well with Kang-hoon." Jeon So-min scolded, “Why are you saying that in front of the camera?” In response, Jo Se-ho responded, “So you’re filming, are you talking behind the camera?”
