Lee Hyun-jung's remarkable background surprised everyone.
On the November 1 broadcast of SBS's "Running Man," the cast engaged in a race alongside 2026 Asian Games medalists Lee Hyun-jung and Kim Min-jong.
During the broadcast, the cast took on the "Nanlizabeth to the Medal" race together with the medalists. The mission required them to visit popular restaurants featuring meal routines tailored for the two medalists, piece together clues hidden at each location, and unravel a hidden secret.
It was revealed that a half-don gold medal would be awarded to the three who solved the secret, raising everyone's anticipation. Meanwhile, the remaining members who failed would all receive penalties.
The first mission with a hint on the line was Quiz Basketball. During the basketball game, whenever a player scored a basket, a quiz question was presented, and they had to guess the correct answer.
In a mission where only the scorer was allowed to attempt the quiz, Lee Hyun-jung was given a handicap where his shot would count as a basket only if he made it from beyond the half-court line. However, if both Lee Hyun-jung and Kim Min-jong answered the quiz correctly, they would earn 5 points, while the other members would receive 1 point.
Hearing this, the "Kkangkangies" grimaced, asking why it had to be a quiz of all things. HAHA then surprised everyone by sharing about Lee Hyun-jung, "Back in middle school, Hyun-jung was such a top student that he ranked as high as 8th in his entire school."
Hearing this, Yu Jae-seok urged, "Min-jong, you tell us too. Tell us what you did in middle school." Kim Min-jong then drew attention by smiling brightly and saying, "I placed first in national competitions. I was number one in the nation in judo."
