Running Man’s Chaotic Mafia Game Sparks Hilarious Confusion With Choi Daniel
The upcoming episode of Special Broadcasting Service’s (SBS) popular variety show Running Man, airing this Sunday, June 25th at 6:10 PM KST, promises explosive laughter and unpredictable twists with its latest ‘No-Nonsense Mafia’ game.
This week’s race, titled ‘The Mind-Reading Running Family’, required members to complete hidden missions while interpreting subtle cues throughout the day. However, chaos erupted during the mafia game when one player dramatically misidentified himself as the mafia, leading to an accidental citizen ‘massacre’ that left the studio in stitches.
The unexpected culprit? Beloved “variety show klutz” Choi Daniel. Mistaking himself for the mafia, Daniel hilariously eliminated fellow citizens, prompting fellow cast members to erupt in disbelief. When bombarded with booing, he protested, “I swear I could feel it!”—turning the set into comedic mayhem. With confusion clouding the game, viewers are left wondering: Who truly was the ‘benefit mafia’ who schemed their way to victory?
Adding more spice to the mix were ITZY’s rising stars Miyoun and So Yeon. Known for their fearless banter, the duo officially earned their spot as the latest ‘Ji Suk-jin killers’. Flashbacks recall Miyoun’s iconic jab, “I don’t want to hear it!” aimed at veteran host Ji Suk-jin during a previous appearance. This week, So Yeon took over the baton with equally savage burns—poking fun at his fashion by saying he looked “like he’s 55” and questioning if his sole purpose was “just to make everyone laugh.”
The escalating tension hits a funny bone as the ‘Running Man Prince’ and ‘Idol Princess’ continue to butt heads in brilliant comedic rhythm. Tune in to watch the hilarious back-and-forth unfold only on Running Man.
