Episode 114: Guest: Moon Geun Young (actress).
Location: Incheon (various locations).
Starting teams (Shinsegae Department Store*): Jae Suk-Suk Jin-Ji Hyo-Gary; Jong Kook-Moon Geun Young-Haha-Gwang Soo.
Episode 'X-Man' mission: One of the participants is designated as the "X-Man" and during games played throughout the day, that person must sabotage the team's efforts to win without drawing suspicion, while everyone else tries to figure out who is the X-Man by who is behaving suspiciously or losing games on purpose. After each game, the winning team is allowed to trade one member with the other team to try to get rid of who they suspect is the X-Man (they can hold if they suspect the X-Man is already on the other team). The team who doesn't have the X-Man at the final location wins, BUT if the X-Man successfully completes a "special mission" of being on Moon Geun Young's team at the end, that person wins.
Munhwa Park*, Yeonsu, nametag tail catching game: The members of each team hold onto each other in line and try to tear off the nametag of the last person in line on the other team. Winning team can trade a member.
Sorae Port sashimi restaurant* games: Members write down games they are good at. The PD chooses games at random for the teams to compete against each other, best of five wins (spoon game: one person on a team says a number while everyone else simultaneously randomly decides whether to raise a spoon or not. If the total number of raised spoons matches the number, that person gets a win for the team; arm wrestling; pen flipping, staring contest; chopstick-corn agility contest). Winning team can trade a member.
Su-In (Suwon-Incheon) subway line* rock-paper-scissors: At station stops between Soraepogu and Songdu, teams exit the train and individual representatives compete at rock-paper-scissors (30-second time limit). Individual losers can't re-board the train. Everyone else can re-board and go to the next station. Winning team can trade a member and also receives a clue about the mission the X-Man is trying to complete in order to win.
Sidae Children's Park*, Yeonsu, jump rope contest: Each team chooses 10 members from the public. In three rounds, the team that gets the most amount of people to jump rope in a round wins. Winning team gets a hint at exactly who the X-Man is and a chance to trade a member.
Yeongjong-do* final destination: X-Man and winner revealed.
Comments: Teams at the end: Jae Suk-Moon Geun Young-Gary-Gwang Soo; Jong Kook-Ji Hyo-Haha-Suk Jin. X-Man aired from 2003 to 2007 with Yoo Jae Suk as the host/MC, and with Jong Kook and Haha as regulars on the show. I never watched X-Man, but it has been mentioned before on Running Man and that's the basis of my understanding of the premise of that show. If I got anything wrong, please feel free to offer corrections. The love line between Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye on that show can be inferred from previous references on Running Man.
- The Suwon-Incheon (Su-In) subway line opened on June 30, 2012, only reaching Songdo, but is still expanding. Munhwa Park is adjacent to Yeonsu Station on the Su-In line, and I don't know of any connection it has with the Incheon Cultural Center, so I don't know why the captions and instructions indicate it as Incheon Cultural Center, which one cast member correctly identifies as being very close, about a block away from Shinsegae (Munhwa Park/Yeonsu is not quite that close to Shinsegae). If there isn't a branch of the Incheon Cultural Center in Yeonsu, a possibility is that something came up and the mission location had to be changed.
A bit of clarification on the final results if anyone found it confusing, as I did. (Spoilers: don't read if you don't know who the X-Man is):
The final result was a bit complicated to me, but the way I see it, the red team pretty much didn't have a chance. They couldn't win if X-Man Jae Suk was on their team because that was the rule. But if Jae Suk remains on the blue team, he completes the "special mission" of being on Moon Geun Young's team, and he individually wins. The only way the red team could have won was if they traded one of their members at the last chance with Moon Geun Young, and strategically there was no reason for them to do that. They are following the premise of not having the X-Man on their team, rather than the twist of the X-Man not being on a particular person's team. It basically becomes a game of chance, but is still a decent mission design because it was still in the realm of possibility for the red team to think "get Moon Geun Young on our team" based on their hint. From a mission designer's point of view, this episode worked out fine.
