The cast of SBS's 'Running Man' will engage in a race to protect their wallets using a corporate card in Jongno 3-ga. In the upcoming episode titled 'Where is the Corporate Card?' airing on the 25th, members who fail to obtain the corporate card must pay for all expenses incurred during the day using their personal cards. This includes the coffee and desserts enjoyed by the members during the opening. During the recent recording, the conversation included jokes about Ji Suk-jin's plans for a second child following a couple's trip to Italy, as well as discussions regarding Ji Ye-eun's wedding. While it was joked that Yoo Jae-suk would serve as the emcee and Kim Jong-kook would sing the congratulatory song, Ji Suk-jin and Song Ji-hyo also offered to sing, though Ji Ye-eun declined. The broadcast is scheduled for 6:10 PM on the 25th.

Talk of Yoo Jae-suk emceeing and Kim Jong-kook singing

According to SBS, during the recent recording, the members exchanged updates on their recent lives starting from the opening. The conversation transitioned into talk about the wedding of Ji Ye-eun, who is preparing for marriage. A lineup for the wedding was discussed, with Yoo Jae-suk suggested as the emcee and Kim Jong-kook as the singer of the congratulatory song. According to reference articles, Ji Ye-eun is scheduled to marry the dancer Vata in December. The wedding-related dialogue during the recording was introduced as banter between the members rather than the actual proceedings of the ceremony.

Ji Suk-jin and Song Ji-hyo also expressed interest in performing the congratulatory song, but Ji Ye-eun replied, "It's okay," politely declining their offers, which drew laughter from the set. SBS reported that Ji Suk-jin showed enthusiasm to sing, having previously released music with Ji Ye-eun under the name 'Chungju Ji Family.' When Ji Suk-jin was unable to secure the opportunity to sing, Yoo Jae-suk remarked, "Na-eun's birthday is coming up soon, so do it then." This discussion regarding the wedding song was part of the recent life updates shared before the corporate card race.

'Second Child' jokes following Italy trip

During the updates, questions were directed at Ji Suk-jin, who had recently taken a trip to Italy with his wife. Haha asked Ji Suk-jin, who had just returned from the trip, if he was "having a second child." Ji Suk-jin replied, "When they are born, the name will be 'Roma'." This exchange was part of the banter regarding Ji Suk-jin's recent activities following his trip.

Ji Suk-jin's response was presented alongside the wedding talk during the opening updates. After Haha asked about the second child and Ji Suk-jin mentioned the name 'Roma,' the topic shifted to the upcoming marriage of Ji Ye-eun. Reference articles also noted that Ji Suk-jin had traveled to Italy with his wife. The recording included the joke about the second child's name as well as the dialogue concerning the wedding emcee and congratulatory songs. Following Ji Suk-jin's declined offer to sing, Yoo Jae-suk mentioned Na-eun's birthday.

Coffee and desserts also subject to personal payment

The name of the race is 'Where is the Corporate Card?'. Members who do not secure the corporate card must pay for various expenses incurred throughout the day with their personal cards. The coffee and desserts provided at the start are no exception. While the members enjoyed coffee and desserts during the opening, they learned the rule that if they fail to obtain the corporate card, they must pay for the food out of their own pockets. SBS reported that once this was revealed, the members entered a race to avoid paying with their own money.

The expenses are not limited to coffee and desserts; various expenditures throughout the day, including meals, are subject to personal payment. Consequently, members who fail to secure the corporate card must use their own money even for minor expenses. According to reference articles, the atmosphere on set changed once it was revealed that the food enjoyed during the opening would be subject to payment, leading the members to compete for the corporate card. It has not been disclosed in advance who obtained the card or how much each member paid during the day.

The members will carry out missions to obtain the corporate card in this location. Under the rule where members without the card bear personal costs, expenditures such as coffee, desserts, and meals are linked to the race.
