'Running Man' Grand Lords Fail to Arrest Outsiders... Change Selection and Face 'Paddle Punishment'

The grand lords failed in their final deduction.

On the SBS variety show 'Running Man' broadcast on the 13th, ATEEZ member Choi San and actor Han Ji-eun appeared as guests.

After all the missions concluded on this day, the members began deductions alongside the guests to find the outsiders. Choi San, who had gained benefits from the preceding missions, confirmed that Han Ji-eun was an outsider.

In response, Choi San said, "I've arrested one person," and gathered the grand lords, saying, "Let's gather amongst the grand lords to talk." He then revealed that Han Ji-eun was an outsider.

Following this, the grand lords began serious deductions to find the remaining outsider. Reviewing the members' suspicious actions one by one, the grand lords narrowed down Kim Jong-kook and Yu Jae-seok as the most likely candidates.

Without revealing this fact, they asked the members who they found suspicious. Yu Jae-seok suspected Kim Jong-kook, while Kim Jong-kook suspected Yu Jae-seok and Jee Seokjin, drawing attention.

Kim Jong-kook, who performed excessively poorly in missions, and Yu Jae-seok, who carried out friendly fire to an extent that made people wonder if it was intentional. In a situation where it would not be strange for anyone to be the outsider, the grand lords made their final choice: Kim Jong-kook.

At this, Kim Jong-kook reacted with anger, saying, "Because of the bullfrog?" and "Wow, see if I ever try to make things entertaining again." Faced with Kim Jong-kook's jumping reaction, the grand lords fell into confusion, and the investigation returned to square one.

Consequently, other members also voiced their respective opinions, and the grand lords, who had been in confusion, changed their choice from Kim Jong-kook to Yu Jae-seok.

Upon this, Yu Jae-seok appealed his innocence, saying, "It's not me. I'm telling you it's not me." However, the grand lords solidified their decision. As a result, they failed to arrest the outsider. The outsider turned out to be Kim Jong-kook, whom the grand lords had chosen first. This left viewers feeling regretful as the grand lords, along with Yu Jae-seok, received the paddle punishment.
