Yoo Jae Suk and HaHa share an awkward kiss on ‘Running Man’

The nation’s MC Yoo Jae Suk and singer HaHa recently shared an awkward kiss, but had viewers bursting out into laughter.

SBS‘s ‘Running Man‘ aired its 100th episode on June 24th, featuring actress Kim Hee Sun as a guest. With ‘Battle of the Gods’ set as the theme, all of the cast members were given the title of gods and their mission was to take the others down without exposing their weaknesses.

HaHa, who transformed into the god Eros, had ‘kiss’ as his weakness. The singer happened to find lipstick, an item to be used against him, but in order to hide his weakness, he began going around trying to kiss others with the lipstick on.

Upon finding his first target, which happened to be Yoo Jae Suk, HaHa quickly put on the lipstick and ran up to the MC to give him a kiss on the cheek saying, “I love you! I love you forever!”

Bewildered by his sudden action, Yoo Jae Suk was speechless but couldn’t stop smiling. In an attempt to loosen up the awkward atmosphere, HaHa then kissed Yoo Jae Suk’s other cheek and asked him to kiss him back.

However, the two remained awkward and ended up parting ways.

SBS ‘Running Man’ producers pick their top seven episodes to date

SBS‘ flagship variety program ‘Running Man‘ is on the verge of its 100th episode, an admirable milestone for any television program.

In celebration of the upcoming 100th broadcast, internet media site Star In contacted the producers of the show, who picked out their favorite top seven ‘Running Man’ episodes to date.

 

Superpower Special (Episode 74)

Star In calls the Superpower Special the “most important” episode, and the producers themselves have counted this episode among one of their favorites. The cast members become possessors of otherworldly powers, and use them for their dastardly goals. “There was perfect synergy between the production and the skills of the characters,” praised producer Cho Hyo Jin.

Park Ji Sung Special (Episodes 95-97)

If only for the fact that Park Ji Sung appears in them, this series of episodes is worthy of note. The viewers were able to see a side of the soccer player that they’ve never seen before. “The program’s special qualities, along with Park Ji Sung’s variety skills, simply exploded,” said scriptwriter Park Hyun Sook.

Thailand Race (Episode 50-51)

The very first episode abroad for ‘Running Man’, this episode showed the show’s immense popularity overseas to the cast and staff firsthand. “We were worried about shooting in the middle of the city,” revealed producer Kim Joo Hyung. “There was a big feeling of achievement.”

 Yoomes Bond Part I, Part II (Episodes 38, 91)

A special created for and by Yoo Jae Suk. The main MC turns into a spy, secretly tracking down the other members and eliminating them. Producer Im Hyung Taek had nothing but praise, saying, “He is a man who will create tenfold the amount [he's given].”

First Love (Episode 87)

Notable for being a fusion of a traditional variety show and drama. Han Ga In shined as the invited guest, bringing some of the nostalgia from her drama, ‘The Moon that Embraces the Sun‘. “This was significant because it signified a coming-together of drama and variety,” said producer Cho Hyo Jin.

Girls’ Generation Couple Race (Episode 63)

Featuring Girls’ Generation, this episode weaved in and out of crowded areas, proving that ‘Running Man’ could operate safely in public. “We got confidence in the idea that ‘Running Man’ could naturally blend into public settings,” reflected producer Kim Joo Hyung.

 Couple Race (Episode 55-56)

The ‘Running Man’ cast members, not to mention the viewers, were thrown a curveball when four beautiful girl group members were replaced by female comedians the morning after. “The idea that flower tea transformed pretty girls into scary noonas led to a dramatic turnaround,” said producer Im Hyung Taek.
