'Running Man' Roulette Challenge: Members Risk It All for a Low-Probability 'One Shot';What Was the Result?

On the May 24 broadcast of SBS's 'Running Man,' Kang So-ra and Ahn Jae-hyun appeared as guests to participate in the "Why is Running Man like That?" race with the members.

During the broadcast, the production team introduced a dilemma that recently went viral on a show featuring Yu Jae-seok. The question asked whether one would choose a game with a 100% chance of winning 100 million KRW, or a game with an 89% chance of winning 100 million KRW, a 10% chance of winning 500 million KRW, and a 1% chance of getting nothing. Interestingly, it was noted that Koreans uniquely tend to choose the latter option.

Hearing this, the members—with the exception of Kim Jong-kook—drew attention by stating they would also choose the latter game. Shortly after, two roulettes were introduced.

Safe Roulette A offered a 100% chance of winning 30,000 KRW, while Roulette B caught everyone's eye with a slot to win double that amount—60,000 KRW—despite the lower probability. Consequently, Kim Jong-kook, Ji Ye-eun, and Song Jihyo took on Roulette A, while the remaining members challenged Roulette B.

It was a challenge aiming for the 60,000 KRW prize. However, most members failed, leaving them disappointed. Yet, defying the low odds, Yang Sechan successfully landed on the 60,000 KRW slot.

But Yang Sechan's joy was short-lived as he fell into despair. HAHA spun the roulette, rendering Yang Sechan's turn invalid. Ultimately, due to HAHA's scheme, Yang Sechan ended up with nothing, sparking pity. Meanwhile, HAHA became the sole member to successfully secure the 60,000 KRW, becoming the envy of everyone.
