Running Man Sparks Romance and Chaos with New Killer-Themed Episode
On the latest episode of SBS’s Running Man, airing on Sunday evening, a dramatic twist unfolds as members transform into ‘killers’ embroiled in an intense turf war. The losers of the initial battle face an unusual punishment—serving as butlers in a lavish mansion for their rivals, whom they must now address as ‘young master’ and ‘milady.’
The episode’s highlight comes from actor Son Ho-jun, who fully commits to his butler role with mock-elite flair. From cheesy compliments to impromptu singing performances and dance routines, Son leaves viewers in stitches with his shameless antics and gains the mock title of ‘elite butler.’
The drama intensifies when guest actress Ji Ye-eun jokingly declares a one-day relationship with fellow guest Yoo Seung-ho. Despite the fictional rivalry between their ‘killer’ organizations, Ji’s bold and playful flirting—saying things like “Drink this and you’re dating me”—catches everyone off guard. Meanwhile, cast member Yang Se-chan can’t hold back, sarcastically calling out the situation, fueling the ongoing playful tension.
The contrast between Ji’s overt interest and Yoo’s reserved reaction leaves both fans and members guessing about the duo’s dynamic. With twists, comedy, and flirtation all wrapped in a roleplay concept, this special episode offers a perfect blend of storytelling and entertainment.
The ‘Killer Territory Marking’ special of Running Man airs 10 minutes earlier than usual at 6 PM KST, promising viewers an unforgettable start to the evening.
