‘Running Man’ Set for Hilarious Year-End Settlement with Revenge Plot Twist
A unique year-end special is coming to the popular South Korean variety show, ‘Running Man,’ promising a blend of competition, humor, and long-awaited retribution. The episode, scheduled to air on Sunday, December 28th, at 6:10 pm KST on SBS, will feature a “funny” settlement of accounts, incorporating both product-based rewards and a surprising opportunity for one member to even the score.
The upcoming broadcast centers around a “Product Savings Year-End Settlement” that extends through 2025. Members will be required to “pay taxes” on the prizes they’ve accumulated throughout the year, adding a strategic layer to the usual challenges. The system favors those who received fewer rewards, unexpectedly giving Haha and Ji Seok-jin a competitive edge from the start.
However, the core drama unfolds with a personal vendetta. During a recent trip to Tongyeong, Ji Seok-jin experienced a painful defeat in a name tag tearing match against guest member Choi Daniel, a loss that visibly upset him. Now, he’s been granted a secret mission: to discreetly remove the name tags of his fellow cast members without being detected.
“I feel alive,” Ji Seok-jin reportedly exclaimed during filming, brimming with excitement. “Today is my day.” He even boldly declared his intention to challenge Kim Jong-kook, widely considered the show’s strongest competitor.
Prior to the main event, members were tasked with locating a mysterious box bearing their names, unaware of the purpose behind the search. Unbeknownst to them, Ji Seok-jin was observing their efforts, preparing to unleash his covert operation. The preview suggests a chaotic and entertaining race where old grievances and financial obligations collide.
The “Product Stealing Year-End Settlement” promises to be a thrilling conclusion to the year for ‘Running Man,’ leaving viewers to wonder if those previously burdened by penalties can finally turn the tables and claim victory.
