Running Man's Predictions Come True as Ji Ye Eun Faces Hilarious Initiation

In the latest episode of SBS's Running Man, aired on December 22, 2024, the predictions made by Ji Suk Jin and Yoo Jae Suk came to fruition, particularly highlighting Ji Ye Eun's amusing initiation into the show. The cast members enjoyed a year-end party while simultaneously trying to avoid being eliminated from the overnight camping challenge, leading to a series of entertaining missions and a continuous battle over the 'penalty transfer rights'. Yoo Jae Suk expressed curiosity about who would end up sleeping outside, while Yang Se Chan humorously remarked that certain members were bound to be the ones left out.

During the episode, the production team announced that there were specific missions for those confirmed to sleep outside, assigning different tasks to each member. Kim Jong Kook, already exempt from the challenge, took the opportunity to relax, prompting envy from the others.

Laughter erupted before the next mission even began, as Ji Suk Jin, who had been resting, accidentally fell asleep. This led to a rare moment of him being completely unaware during the broadcast. The remaining members explained the mission without him, joking about his situation and confirming his fate of sleeping outside due to his absence.

Upon waking, Ji Suk Jin was bewildered to learn that the show had continued without him. Although he managed to wake up before the mission started, he missed the details and ultimately found himself confirmed for the overnight challenge. Yoo Jae Suk jokingly reminded his younger colleagues that he would soon be turning 60, to which Haha teased that it would make for a good memory, prompting Ji Suk Jin to respond humorously.

In a previous episode, Ji Suk Jin had humorously predicted, while channeling 'Ji-stradamus', that if he were to sleep outside, Yoo Jae Suk would be next to him, possibly with Ji Ye Eun nearby. This prediction added to the anticipation of whether it would come true.

Ultimately, it was not Ji Ye Eun but Song Ji Hyo who was confirmed for the overnight challenge, making Yoo Jae Suk, Ji Suk Jin, and Song Ji Hyo the final trio. However, Yang Se Chan, who had not used his penalty transfer rights, ended up passing them to Song Ji Hyo, which eventually led to Ji Ye Eun receiving the penalty. The cast erupted in laughter, calling it Ji Ye Eun's initiation into Running Man.

Notably, Ji Suk Jin's prediction about seeing Yoo Jae Suk next to him and Ji Ye Eun being nearby sent chills down everyone's spines when it came true. After the overnight challenge, Ji Ye Eun revealed her bare face, humorously showcasing her puffy appearance, which added to the comedic moment.
