Episode 96: part one
Location: (May 20) Park Ji Sung Youth Soccer Center, Suwon; (May 21) Incheon.
Guests: Park Ji Sung (soccer player (footballer)), IU (singer).
Super power soccer game: Park Ji Sung chooses one person to be on his team versus Jong Kook and everyone else. Everyone except Park Ji Sung gets a super power. Gary has a lot of balls. Ji Hyo can handle balls 10 seconds at a time. Haha can get high during the game. Jae Suk can turn fans on. Jong Kook can eliminate anyone on his own team who is awkward, and big . . . like him. Suk Jin can make the goal go both ways. Gwang Soo makes the other team freeze up (for 30 seconds, one time per half). IU is joined by 5 men (one time per half).
Race mission (Incheon Complex Fish Market): In teams (green Park Ji Sung-Jae Suk-Jong Kook; blue IU-Haha-Gary; white Ji Hyo-Suk Jin-Gwang Soo), drive to the fish market and have a meal at a restaurant with their crews. Afterwards they are told they have to sell as much seafood at stalls in the market equal to how much they and their crews ordered. Receive money cases in order of completion.
Tug of war tournament (University of Incheon, Songdo-dong): Drive to the university, find three people wearing the same color as their team to assist them in a tug-of-war competition. The first to form a team and arrive at the Running Man banner goes straight to the final round. The following teams compete in the semi-final round. Receive money cases in order of standings.
Comments: IU's third appearance. The joke about her super power is that she is reputed to have a lot of middle-aged "samchon" (uncle) fans. The super powers, of course, are in reference to the ep. 74 Running Man Battle Royale #2, where they were all given "super powers". The day one Suwon shoot was finished by around noon, judging by the length of the game and the angle of the sun, so it seems the production team had the entire afternoon to edit footage for the conclusion of the previous week's episode. No wonder Gary's still single; complains about Jessica, gets frustrated with Hyomin, makes Krystal feel bad for eating, and now nails IU with a soccer ball (and he later whacks Gwang Soo right in the nuts, so you know he has good aim!). He's a good rapper, but, geez, got some women issues (j/k). And sorry about the super power descriptions, hope I didn't offend anyone in more conservative countries. But the super powers were rather ridiculous and trying to describe them seriously was turning out to be really dry. Part of what makes that segment funny is that they all can't stop laughing at how ridiculous the super powers are.
