The cast members of Flex X Cop 2 made a successful variety show debut.
On the August 2 broadcast of SBS Running Man, the actors of the drama Flex X Cop 2 joined the cast for an Undercover Chaebol vs. Detectives race.
In this episode, Yoo Jae-suk formed the chaebol team with Ji Suk-jin, Haha, Song Ji-hyo, Ahn Bo-hyun, and Kang Sang-jun. Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook formed the detective team with Yang Se-chan, Ji Ye-eun, Jung Eun-chae, and Kim Shin-bi to compete in the race.
The chaebol team hid one chairman whose identity was concealed and one secret detective, while the detective team hid one infiltrated secretary dispatched by the chairman. The race rules stated that the chaebol team would win if the chairman escaped accompanied only by the chaebols excluding the secret detective, while the detective team had to find the infiltrated secretary and the chairman.
After gathering clues through various missions, the chaebols and detectives closed in on the targets. Ji Suk-jin quietly approached Kim Jong-kook of the detective team and revealed that he figured out who the chairman was, pointing to Haha. In response, Kim Jong-kook asked, "Are you then the secret detective, hyung?" and Ji Suk-jin confirmed it, drawing attention.
Tasked with being the secret detective, Ji Suk-jin had been subtly sabotaging the chaebol team's missions while carrying out his assignment. Through the crucial clues about the chairman obtained in the process, he figured out that Haha was the chairman.
At the same time, the chairman, Haha, was solving quizzes with fellow chaebol Yoo Jae-suk to find the password for a money bag. Haha failed to get a single question right, but secured the password thanks to Yoo Jae-suk's efforts. Coincidentally, the password turned out to be Yoo Jae-suk's birthday. Haha expressed his frustration by saying, "Why is the password this when I am the chairman?" prompting laughter as Yoo Jae-suk saw right through the production team, noting, "Did you figure I'd be the one solving the questions anyway?"
Haha instructed Yoo Jae-suk, "I'll go get in the car and start the engine, so you gather the people." The two also shared the consensus that Ahn Bo-hyun must be the secret detective and agreed to leave him behind.
Yoo Jae-suk went to gather the other chaebol members. However, during this process, Ji Suk-jin's suspicious behavior led Yoo Jae-suk to suspect him as well. In defense, Ji Suk-jin insisted he was not the one and claimed that Ahn Bo-hyun was the spy.
Meanwhile, the detective team operated under the assumption that Yang Se-chan was the infiltrated secretary, excluding him from their plans.
As the chaebol team made a hasty attempt to escape, Ahn Bo-hyun spotted the scene and rushed to follow them. Consequently, Haha and Ji Suk-jin firmly blocked Ahn Bo-hyun from getting into the car, claiming he was a detective.
Just then, Song Ji-hyo appeared and stated that Ahn Bo-hyun was not a detective. Drawing attention, Song Ji-hyo revealed, "According to my clue, the police officer is not Bo-hyun. The secret police officer is married."
Convinced that Ji Suk-jin was the secret detective, the chaebols moved in. Ji Suk-jin resisted, protesting, "What does being married have to do with this?" However, the chaebols dragged Ji Suk-jin out by force and successfully escaped.
With the chaebol team's final victory, the detective team faced overall penalties. However, if they accurately identified the infiltrated secretary, only two members of the detective team would receive penalties. Having previously suspected Yang Se-chan, the detectives changed their minds right before the vote and concluded that Ji Ye-eun was the infiltrated secretary. Thus, the detectives ultimately pointed to Ji Ye-eun. However, the real infiltrated secretary was revealed to be Jung Eun-chae, surprising everyone.
