Actress Krystal, known for her role as a real estate heiress in the drama 'How to Be a Landlord in Korea,' reveals her down-to-earth side in real life.

On the upcoming episode of SBS's variety show 'Running Man,' airing at 6:10 PM on the 5th, Krystal, along with co-stars Jung Woo and Shin Seung-ho from the soon-to-be-released film 'Jjanggu,' will compete in an intense race to become the 'Best of the Best.'

The race, titled 'War of the Best: Ladder of Fate,' gathers top contenders from various fields to climb the ladder and determine the ultimate champion. Jung Woo, crowned as the 'Face Best,' kicks off the show by donning the iconic eyebrows of the animation character 'Jjanggu.' Meanwhile, Krystal, dubbed the 'Physical Best,' immerses herself in the 'Running Man' gym-themed challenge, showcasing her adaptability to the rigorous variety show environment.

Notably, Krystal returns to 'Running Man' after her 2014 appearance, now as a leading actress, receiving a warm welcome from the cast. She surprised everyone by revealing that she still uses the TV she won as a prize during her first appearance on the show 14 years ago, highlighting her unique humility. The members were captivated by her unexpected charm and simplicity.

Shin Seung-ho, another lead actor from 'Jjanggu,' also shines in the episode. During a knowledge quiz, he defies expectations with his quick wit, showcasing his 'brainy' side. His performance rivals that of 'Running Man's resident intellectual, Yoo Jae-suk, marking the emergence of a character with both 'physical' and 'intellectual' prowess.
