Yu Jae-seok gave some frank advice to a betrayed Heo Kyung-hwan.
On the October 11 broadcast of SBS's "Running Man," the cast headed to Cheorwon alongside guest Heo Kyung-hwan for a special race.
After dinner, the "Running Man" members and Heo Kyung-hwan were given a morning wake-up mission: protect their eggs overnight and prepare a dish using them the next morning.
The first four to finish would be exempt from the penalty, while the remaining four who missed the cutoff would face the morning chore of cooking breakfast.
The cast scrambled to find safe hiding spots for their eggs. However, even before the mission could properly get underway, eggs began breaking in various ways, sparking laughter. Jee Seokjin lost all of his eggs early on, putting him out of the running for the morning wake-up mission entirely.
The remaining male members then formed an alliance, placing their eggs together inside a microwave and sealing it shut. Naturally, a betrayal soon followed.
HAHA plotted with Yang Sechan and Kim Jong-kook to sneak out with the microwave containing the hidden eggs. But Yu Jae-seok, who woke up on pure instinct, tailed the trio.
The members pulled out their own eggs to take them into their own hands. In that moment, Yu Jae-seok smashed some of Yang Sechan's eggs before fleeing with his own. Infuriated, the three completely ruined all of Heo Kyung-hwan's eggs and marched over to confront Yu Jae-seok.
Yu Jae-seok countered by explaining why he had lost his temper, stating, "You started it." He then laid down an ultimatum that drew laughter, saying, "If you mess with me? I'm going to wake everyone up except Kyung-hwan."
Once morning arrived, the members began cooking with the eggs they had narrowly managed to protect. Heo Kyung-hwan was devastated after learning that all of his eggs had been broken.
Watching a cat happily eating an egg, he looked on with envy, saying, "Even you have an egg." But right then, Heo Kyung-hwan noticed the basket the cat's egg was in and was crushed to realize it was actually his own egg.
Spotting Yu Jae-seok in the middle of cooking an egg dish, Heo Kyung-hwan shook his head in disbelief at everything that had unfolded while he was asleep, remarking, "This is scary."
To this, Yu Jae-seok quipped, drawing laughter, "Kyung-hwan, just stick to Saturdays. Sundays don't suit you."
In the end, the alliance of traitors—Yu Jae-seok, Yang Sechan, Kim Jong-kook, and HAHA—earned exemptions from the breakfast penalty. The production team remarked, "So much went down at dawn, yet the people who slept soundly ended up on breakfast duty."
Hearing this, Heo Kyung-hwan vented his frustration as he looked back on his naivety. Kim Jong-kook remarked, "It's wild that you trusted us completely and went to sleep," to which Heo Kyung-hwan drew attention with a dejected expression, saying, "I'm sorry, but I don't think I can handle overnight shoots."
