'Running Man' Grand Lords Fail to Catch the Outsider, Switch Choices and Face Punishment

The grand lords failed in their final deduction.

On the September 13 broadcast of SBS "Running Man", ATEEZ member Choi San and actor Han Ji-eun appeared as guests.

On this day, after all the missions were completed, the members began deductions together with the guests to find the outsider. Choi San, who had acquired a benefit in the previous mission, verified that Han Ji-eun was the outsider.

In response, Choi San said, "I have caught one," and called the grand lords together, saying, "Let us gather amongst ourselves to talk." He then shared the fact that Han Ji-eun was the outsider.

Following this, the grand lords began conducting deductions in earnest to find the remaining outsider. Reviewing the suspicious actions of the members 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. In response, Yu Jae-seok suspected Kim Jong-kook, while Kim Jong-kook suspected Yu Jae-seok and Jee Seokjin, drawing attention.

With Kim Jong-kook struggling excessively with the missions, and Yu Jae-seok engaging in team kills to the point where people wondered if he did it on purpose, it was a situation where anyone could be the outsider, yet the grand lords ultimately chose Kim Jong-kook.

At this, Kim Jong-kook expressed his anger, saying, "Because of the bullfrog?" and "Wow, see if I ever have fun doing this again." Startled by Kim Jong-kook's strong reaction, the grand lords fell into confusion, and the investigation returned to square one.

Consequently, the other members also expressed their respective opinions, and the grand lords, caught in confusion, switched their choice from Kim Jong-kook to Yu Jae-seok.

At that moment, Yu Jae-seok appealed his innocence, saying, "It is not me. I am telling you it is not me." However, the grand lords solidified their decision. As a result, they failed to catch the outsider. The actual outsider was Kim Jong-kook, whom the grand lords had chosen first. Because of this, the grand lords ended up receiving the punishment of getting hit with the traditional flogging paddle along with Yu Jae-seok, drawing expressions of regret.
