Running Man's Haha Faces Debt Despite Successful Investment

On the latest episode of SBS's variety show 'Running Man,' Haha found himself in a mountain of debt despite a successful investment.

The episode, titled 'Tazza: The Resurrection of the Hustlers 2026,' aired on the 1st and featured a race where members had to choose between jajangmyeon and jjamppong to earn caramel.

Haha and Yang Se-chan initially agreed to choose jajangmyeon, but Haha switched to jjamppong, saying, "I had jajangmyeon yesterday."

Struggling in the game, Haha decided to change his character by switching wigs. Yoo Jae-suk noticed and commented, "Why change in the middle?" Haha replied, "I'm stressed, my bangs are falling out," to which Yoo Jae-suk sighed, "You're just so annoying."

Yang Se-chan used a reset card to secure a win for the jajang team, and Yoo Jae-suk briefly became the new association president. However, Yang Se-chan regained the position after another election.

As Haha ran out of caramel, Yoo Jae-suk reminded him, "This is a show for kids." Haha humorously suggested, "Kids, switch to EBS for a while," showing his parental side.

Kim Jong-kook advised Haha, "Don't overextend yourself," to which Haha expressed his disappointment, "You used to comfort me off-camera."

Before betting, Haha took a caramel loan from the production team at a 50% interest rate. Confidently, he said, "I borrowed, but I have nothing to be ashamed of," and managed to triple his investment by choosing Ji Ye-eun.

However, Yoo Jae-suk, back as the association president, used his reset authority, leaving Haha frustrated, "Why is this happening today?" Kim Jong-kook, the ultimate winner of the 2026 Tazza, boasted, "You shouldn't waste your luck on trivial things. This is how you should live."
