Unexpected Ally Emerges for Kim Jong-kook in 'Running Man' Survival Challenge

A surprising ally appears for 'newlywed' Kim Jong-kook.

On the upcoming episode of SBS's variety show 'Running Man,' airing on the 1st, the final concept of the survival challenge will be revealed.

This race is themed as an 'Age Notice Survival Challenge,' where only the last person standing can shoot the age notice in their desired concept. With the next concept elimination at stake, members were busy hiding something.

The item everyone was busy hiding was their cell phones. If a message was written on the phone, it would be marked on the owner like a scarlet letter, leading to their elimination. Eliminated members would then become subordinates to the member who outed them, prompting everyone to guard their phones zealously. Amidst this chaos, Kim Jong-kook found an unexpected ally who seemed willing to go to great lengths to help him. Delighted, Kim Jong-kook exclaimed, “This will never be found!”

While Kim Jong-kook enjoyed the support of his unexpected ally, other members were seen following someone around, seemingly entranced. In the heart of Seoul, mysterious masked individuals carrying bags with member name tags roamed around, leading the members to follow them. These individuals were 'Hint Men,' providing crucial information in innovative ways to help members eliminate each other.

Just as curiosity peaked about the hidden hints, a member's cry echoed through the streets, setting off a twist in the game. The final survivor and their concept will be revealed on 'Running Man,' airing at 6:10 PM.
