'Running Man', which aired on the 19th, recorded a '2049 viewer rating' of 3.6% (Nielsen Korea metropolitan area, household standard), up 0.4% from last week, ranking first among entertainment programs broadcast at the same time slot. In addition, following last week, it landed in the '2049 TOP 3' for two consecutive weeks across all dramas and entertainment programs aired on this day.
On this day, the broadcast was decorated with the 'Dongducheon Class' race held in Yang Se-chan's hometown, Dongducheon. Yang Se-chan was thrilled, saying, "I can't believe I filmed 'Running Man' in Dongducheon..." and Jeon So-min added, "Is your mother here?", making everyone laugh from the start. The expenses incurred on this outing can be calculated with 7 cards, and the members Since the submitted cost was set randomly, the number of penalties increased when the limit was exceeded. The production team also paid 10 Rcoins worth 10,000 won each to the members.
The Dongducheon outing began with Yang Se-chan guiding the members as a 'guide'. The first place we headed to was the patch shop. Each member purchased a patch they liked, and the payment went through smoothly at 27,300 won. The second place was a restaurant. A total of 50,000 won was needed, but the card Jeon So-min chose exceeded the limit. Fearing punishment, the members tried various part-time jobs, such as serving staff food and walking dogs, which brought laughter.
In the meantime, the members who stopped at the gas station because their vehicle ran out of fuel suffered the humiliation of exceeding the limit once again. They started to suspect each other. At the last 'Barber Shop', you had to choose one of the remaining cards in order and pay as much as you wanted. In a breathtaking moment of luck, Yang Se-chan became the first penalizer by choosing Ji Suk-jin's card with 0 won remaining, and Jeon So-min also chose Ji Suk-jin's card. The two received a penalty for ‘barber shop styling’.
