The laundry list of today’s games takes me back to the Family Outing variety days of yore, where the winning team gets to kick back after each game whereas the losing team is faced with a task/punishment/manual labor. Wait, the winning team will participate in the Winter Olympics? Uh, you mean actually go to Sochi? And Jo PD must be saying all this with a straight face because the cast remarks on how serious he sounds about it, and yipes-even the mission board says: “leaving the country.” Thanks to a bit of clever editing, our resident announcer Kim Hwan introduces a new Olympic Event: nametag ripping… on ice. Heh.Īfter they get Ho-joon to break out his Jeollado accent and greet Seo-joon, the teams turn their attention to the screen. But leave it to the staff to show us a clip anyway. Like the mention of Ho-joon’s short-lived idol days (he was part of the singing group Tachyon), which leaves our guest all flustered. This is the first time Jong-kook has met his teammates (apart from In-gook), which should make for some interesting team dynamics. Jong-kook warns the other team that Ye-won has a strong personality herself, but we know that Ji-hyo is none to be trifled with (Haha: “Ji-hyo even curses!”).

But what we do know is that Baro is a ball of energy, from the almost slip-and-fall and impromptu stretching-such a far cry from his reserved character in the drama. Gathering a variety of guests is always a toss-up since you can never be sure how they’ll mingle with the cast or each other. They’ll be pitted against the All-Star Team today, led by Jong-kook-meet our guests: singer and actor Seo In-gook ( No Breathing), Answer Me 1994 co-stars Sohn Ho-joon and Baro ( B1A4), actor Park Seo-joon ( A Warm Word), and actress Kang Ye-won ( The Huntresses). Our Running Man Team send warm cheers to the Olympians while fighting the bitter cold, unaware of the hellish training camp that awaits them here. Welcome to the 2014 Running Man Winter Olympics… where the low-rent outdoor backdrop is falling apart around our cast members. Though I’m pretty sure actual Olympians don’t have to cook or do laundry with ice cold water, this training camp isn’t for the weak or weary, because simply coming out of it unscathed is a feat in of itself.ĮPISODE 184.

What better way is there to fight the freezing cold than the chance to win glory and gold? The Winter Olympics may take place once every four years, but our cast will put their speed, concentration, and agility to the test in these games against the all-stars. 49 FebruFebruRunning Man: Episode 184 by gummimochi
