Running Man Teases Intense Futsal League with Unexpected Twists

SBS's 'Running Man' has released still cuts ahead of its upcoming episode on the 12th, drawing attention as actress Song Ji-hyo, recently embroiled in a 'wallflower controversy' due to her lack of screen time, is notably absent from the photos.

The episode airing on Sunday, the 12th, will feature a fierce battle of wits among the members, who won't hesitate to betray each other for victory. The 'Running Man Cup' futsal league kicks off, initially appearing as a standard futsal match. However, the game takes a dramatic turn with the introduction of mysterious options, causing the flow of the match to shift unpredictably. Some members cleverly exploit these unexpected variables, earning admiration for their quick thinking.

Hwa Sa and the 'veteran' Ji Suk-jin capture attention with their surprising performances, even going as far as blocking their noses for victory. The tension peaks when Yang Se-chan suffers an unexpected injury during the intense competition. Meanwhile, Young K, known for his 'development', reveals his past as a goalkeeper in elementary school, confidently declaring, "I block everything, no goals get past me," bringing laughter to the scene.

Ha Ha's secret 'moth strategy' is caught on camera, sparking interest. He discreetly pulls Yang Se-chan aside to share a winning strategy for the betting game, leaving Yang Se-chan in awe, saying, "I'm really learning from you, hyung." Even Kim Jong-kook, known for his cautious 'soy sauce dish betting', surprises everyone by adopting a bold moth strategy, hinting at an unpredictable showdown.

Will Ha Ha's winning method and Kim Jong-kook's transformation be the game-changers in this high-stakes race? Only the boldest gamblers will survive in 'The Art of Betting: The Gambler's Choice', airing on 'Running Man' this Sunday at 6:10 PM.
