Running Man Epi 242 Global Missions (Jung Il Woo, Jung Yonghwa & Lee Hong Ki)

Running Man decides to use some of their fans favourite games for the new mission for the cast this round. Within 2 hours of posting up for ideas, they received 2000 emails with tons of suggestions from fans all over the world including US, Australia, Europe, Taiwan, Algeria, UAE...etc. The guests featured are Hallyu stars - actor Jung Il Woo, CN Blue leader Jung Yong Hwa and FT Island Lee Hong Ki. These stars seem to be more popular in overseas with their acting and singing. First mission is 3 vs 7 people. Tiger Kook leads the 3 man team by choosing Kwang Soo and Jung Il Woo. But Il Woo doesn't seem to look happy with his slow reaction for his first time in a variety show. Yong Hwa thought he would be picked but the rest settled in with Jae Suk. First mission is from Nilla in Singapore entitled 'What time is it, Mr. Wolf?'...it's a favourite childhood game where the wolf stands right front and the rest are lambs. The lambs asked the wolf  the time and he is to spit out  between 1 to 8 o'clock. The times are the steps the lambs need to step forward towards the wolf. The closer the lambs get towards the wolf, they can rip off the tag. BUT! Mr. Wolf has an advantage by saying it's meal time and he turns across to rip off any of the lamb's tags before they get out from the muddy water. The rest freaked out when Kookie easily rip off Big Nose Brother's tag. The rest scattered away like lost scary lambs from the water. LOL! 




Jae Suk angrily pointed out Yong Hwa and Hong Ki shortened their steps as they inched closer towards Kook afraid they will be oust. Gary pretends to play dumb as he stood the furthest of all the lamb team. However with Yong Hwa's sprint and quick run took over Mr. Wolf's pace so the lambs win the first race. Jong Kook can't play the next mission since he completed the first one. 2nd mission is World Tour at C-cafe at Gimpo. Jae Suk starts reading all numerous fans suggestion of games scaring the hell out of the casts such as falling from 3-4 meters height, climbing a slippery bamboo tree. The casts pointed out they are not superheroes with powers or Spider Man. Il Woo picks the red paper mission suggested by Indonesia/Malaysian fan- it's about 2 members tie a pencil around the waist strapped to the back. The first to place the pencil into a bottle and lift it up wins the game. 


Il Woo won over Hong Ki but lost to Jae Suk. He has to win over 4 members from the other team. He won easily over Suk Jin on the third round. Jae Suk gave Il Woo a nickname- Now Glad, Now Sad.  It was Yong Hwa's turn as it turned out to be his 12th time in RM and Ha Ha said he won more times than Suk Jin. Looks like Il Woo's pilates experience helped in this game. Kookie's team wins the bottle fishing game so they get to choose the next mission which is Zombie Game suggested by a fan in USA. Il Woo gets to play as the blind fold zombie as he tries to bite and eliminate the 7 members standing on the blue mat within 2 minutes time frame. Haha and Yonghwa were the first to be eliminated in the zombie. game.

Water Gun Kill Game starts off with Hong Ki lost to Il Woo. However when it comes to Ji Hyo's turn, she ends up spraying the water at Il Woo's face and teeth. LOL! Then when it comes to Suk Jin's turn as expected Il Woo sprayed the water gun easily to his face. However the pot lid from the table flew and hit against Jae Suk causing him to cringe. Kookie's team won the World Tour mission. They get a hint word- WORLD. 

Final mission at night at Taehyeon KBS center where Team Seven is rushing around the building to find the English letters to spell out Running Man- it's 3 vs 7 Bell Hide and Seek Game. Il Woo begins to feel happy that they are the chasing team with bells. Il Woo and Kook ripped off Yong 
Hwa and Gary's name tags in a blink of an eye. Suk Jin found letter-m while Jae Suk frantically found letter-M. Il Woo begins to feel tired after all the running. He stops for a gulp of water when he heard a sound from the corner. It was Jae Suk who avoided him so he didn't see him. However it was bad luck for Ji Ji Hyo who hid behind the stairs. Kwang Soo

praised Il Woo for his unstoppable act and scarier laugh. Suk Jin tries to betray Jae Suk but found out he's been abandoned by his team. Kwang Soo felt hopeless as he aimlessly walked around without contributing anything. Tiger Kook found Jae Suk hiding after running towards the sound of the bell instead! How silly of him! Meanwhile Haha found another letter N at the wardrobe but bumped into Kook.

And it turns out Hong Ki is the remaining last member of his team to survive when the restwere eliminated. He starts cracking his brain to find the rest of the alphabets.After finding another N-alphabet he forms the word GNA and starts thinking of female singer G.Na! LOL! Useless Giraffe is freaked out again upon seeing his own team mates. Finally Kwang Soo bumped into Hong Ki and done his bit. Hunter bell team wins the final mission. 

Jae Suk thanked the guests for playing in this global fan games and thanked RM fans for all their wonderful games and ideas. Everyone gets to sign off on the camera screen with gold pens. Cool! It was Jung Il Woo's first variety show and he won it. Good on him!
