HaHa Escapes Punishment on Running Man as Yoo Jae-suk Faces Consequences

In the latest episode of SBS's Running Man, HaHa cleverly evaded a punishment while Yoo Jae-suk found himself confirmed for a challenging situation. During the broadcast on December 22, the production team introduced a mission for members who were confirmed to be in a 'no escape' scenario. Each member received different tasks, and Kim Jong-kook, who was already exempt, enjoyed his free time, prompting envy from the others.

The producers mentioned that members could interfere with those they hoped would be punished, leading to a wary glance from Ji Suk-jin, who expressed his concerns. The mission involved secretly changing pants, which HaHa quickly recognized. Yoo Jae-suk, with five chances to complete the task, failed on his first attempt.

As the clock ticked down, Yoo Jae-suk noticed HaHa sitting calmly, who had a minute and thirty seconds left. HaHa began to stall, needing to hold out for just twenty more seconds, which led to a physical tussle. Ultimately, he managed to endure for twenty minutes, successfully completing the mission and avoiding punishment.

Consequently, Yoo Jae-suk was the first to be confirmed for the punishment, which he had anticipated would be quite uncomfortable in the cold weather. Reflecting on the situation, he lamented, "I should have kept my mouth shut."
