Yoo Jae-suk Halts Song Amidst Heated Microphone Battle on 'Running Man'

Yoo Jae-suk halts a song amidst a heated microphone battle.

On the upcoming episode of SBS's variety show 'Running Man,' airing on the 15th, viewers will witness the members losing their composure in front of the coveted R-coins as they strive to become the 'magpie.'

This race, titled 'I Am the Star of the Lunar New Year Magpie,' requires members to collect R-coins through missions to become one of the final three 'magpies' to win. The R-coins play a crucial role, intensifying the competition. When the R-coin shop opens, members have the chance to change their status, and through a random draw, they can aim for unexpected twists, leading to a tense battle of wits between the magpies and crows. In a surprising turn, Ji Suk-jin, engrossed in a mission, finds his R-coins stolen, leading to an outburst of anger and blame towards the other members.

The obsession with R-coins escalates into a 'microphone battle,' with high-level strategies and checks in play. As the song begins, a physical struggle ensues to seize the microphone, with members employing impersonations to exploit openings, resulting in unpredictable scenarios.

The atmosphere heats up further when Yoo Jae-suk critiques Song Ji-hyo's singing skills, prompting Ji Ye-eun to join in, mixing laughter with tension. Song Ji-hyo retorts, "Hey, can you sing well?" escalating the tension around the microphone. Ultimately, Yoo Jae-suk stops the song, adding another layer of humor, drawing attention to the shameless competition among the members over R-coins.

The chaotic brawl among members, who set aside friendship and dignity for R-coins, can be witnessed on 'Running Man' airing at 6:10 PM.
