In the SBS 'Running Man' broadcast airing this Sunday the 13th, an unpredictable race will unfold with super special guests.

In the recently conducted recording, Ateez's San made a triumphant return after 5 years. With the appearance of San, who has established himself as a global star by leading the recent 'BAD' challenge craze, the members also gave him a warm welcome from the start. As numerous 'BAD' challenges featuring the unique personalities of both members and guests have been created on 'Running Man' in the past, the protagonist of the challenge, San, finally stepped forward. Appearing in 'Northern Grand Duke' attire, San displayed the dignity of the 'real deal' by performing the original choreography, and the members heated up the scene with an explosive reaction.

Following this, Kim Jong-kook boasted of his connection with San by citing their 'gym friendship,' and Haha, also claiming to be a 'Busan advocate,' jumped into the competition for closeness by emphasizing that they are from the same Gyeongsang-do region. Meanwhile, while discussing the popularity gained through 'BAD,' Ji Suk-jin made a money sign with his hands and asked bluntly, "Does this bring in some money?", causing San to be flustered, and it is said that San gave a candid answer without hesitation, raising curiosity about what that answer was.

Trending actress Han Ji-eun, who is active across all genres, also visited 'Running Man' after a long time. Following 'Northern Grand Duke' San, Han Ji-eun appeared as a 'Princess' and showed extraordinary enthusiasm by participating in the 'BAD' challenge with San. However, her welcome as a princess was short-lived, as she reportedly suffered extreme hardships, such as being teased by the members while dressed as a beggar, drawing attention to what kind of variety sense Han Ji-eun will display.

Meanwhile, this day's race was themed 'Grand Duke, there is an outsider in here,' led by 'Northern Grand Duke' San, 'Belly Grand Duke' Yang Se-chan, and 'Foolish Grand Duke' Haha. As the members are divided into three teams to compete, it is revealed that two 'outsiders' hiding their identities are among the members. Consequently, it is said that the members began to doubt every single word and action of each other, engaging in a fierce battle of wits to find the outsiders hidden within the teams.

Will the members be able to protect their respective teams while also revealing the identity of the hidden outsiders? The 'Grand Duke, there is an outsider in here' race will be revealed on 'Running Man,' which airs on Sunday the 13th at 4:50 PM due to the '2026 Nagoya Asian Games' broadcast.
