Running Man's Soccer Training Camp Captures World Cup Fever: Is Song Ji-hyo a Ronaldinho Lookalike?

The members of 'Running Man' are heading out for a chaotic soccer training camp, keeping the fiery spirit of the World Cup alive.

In the upcoming episode of SBS 'Running Man' airing on the 21st, the cast will participate in a 'Running Man Summer Soccer-cation' race, which combines a soccer training camp with a summer team-building retreat. The members, united as 'one team' for the first time in a while, arrived wearing unique soccer uniforms, showing off their extraordinary enthusiasm from the very start.

However, even before training began, a relentless roasting session broke out among the members instead of team unity. They bickered and teased each other, with comments like, "Why is a 'clumsy player' wearing Son Heung-min's uniform?" and "Aren't you Zhu Bajie?" The atmosphere turned into a sea of laughter when the members saw Song Ji-hyo in her uniform and gave her a new nickname, shouting, "You look like Ronaldinho today! Song-naldinho!"

Once the actual training began, the atmosphere escalated into a battle of pride, rivaling that of the national World Cup team. The members faced a fate where the intensity of their upcoming grueling training sessions would be determined by the results of a penalty kick mission.

As soon as the mission began, a mysterious goalkeeper boasting ironclad defense appeared in front of the goal. Stimulated by the goalkeeper, who blocked the Running Man members' shots with intense, body-sacrificing saves, the members were quickly fueled by a strong competitive spirit. They held emergency strategy meetings to find a way to break through the defense, and even resorted to bizarre tricks and methods, putting everything on the line for the penalty kicks.

However, as the missions continued, the members constantly blamed and shifted responsibility for their failures onto one another. Making the title of 'team-building retreat' ironic, the group faced an immediate crisis of division rather than acting as 'one team.' Attention is focused on whether the Running Man members can truly demonstrate teamwork and successfully complete their 'Soccer-cation.'

The 'Running Man Summer Soccer-cation' race, featuring fierce competitiveness that rivals the World Cup and the show's signature 'spicy' team-building, will be revealed on 'Running Man,' airing on Sunday, the 21st, at 6:10 PM.
