Running Man Epi 247- "Desirable Lee Kwang Soo"

The recent episode 247 of Running Man cracked the hell outta me. Our dear Giraffe- Lee Kwang Soo is the main star for the day. The 6 members were gathered at a nearby coffee shop while Kwang Soo is at home. PD pointed out their mission for today is "Lee Kwang Soo Happy Days". Giraffe at home still thinks their filming will begin at 1pm when the rest are gathered to surprise him at a home visit. In fact he has moved to a new apartment previously rented by SS501 member Hyung Jun. It is a clean nice decent in a high up apartment where his balcony can view Han-river. However the surprise house warming party was a shock to Kwang Soo who has just woken up and brushing his teeth. With foam in his mouth and uncombed hair, he was taken back when the rest were ravaging his apartment from drawers to cupboards, fridge, notebook and sofa. 

Giraffe didn't seem happy when they were asking him tons of questions and he was shocked when Jae Suk asked him where he kept his leopard print boxers. Ha Ha was busy looking around for a 20cm hair strand in his bedroom with Ji Hyo. Tiger Kook was rampaging his fridge to find an expired product. Suk Jin was browsing through his personal notebook to find a folder with a bird's name on it. It was part of the 6 members mission that they are to deceive Kwang Soo in a hidden camera. If Giraffe finds out their main motives and hidden camera, the mission will fail. Meanwhile Kwang Soo seems to lighten up when PD told him he's the King Maker of the day where the rest have to please and suck up to him. 6 vs. 1 means they have missions to achieve. The final person to stand beside Kwang Soo at Aquarium's main podium wins the entire race. 

They head off to SBS station at Mokdong where they are supposed to find a guest and bring him to the main R mark area and make a heart shape with their hands/arms. Kwangsoo was informed his father is the main guest. The rest were also informed that Kwangsoo will be looking for his father at the lobby area. Kwangsoo wins the race with his father where the rest just smiled and pretended they lost terribly. Haha made sure he is a big flatterer to praise and make Kwangsoo super happy. The next mission was 6 chairs lifted up on top of a big swimming pool. The 6 members are to sit on it and Kwangsoo to shout whichever number he likes and if they fall into the water, it was a part of revenge for him. Happily he sees 5 members fell into the pool as he wanted. Ji Hyo as the main survivor. However it was part of the 6 members plan to ensure all fall into the pool except for one. They laughed behind his back and Giraffe smiles with satisfaction seeing he has taken revenge on those who invaded his apartment without permission.

The final mission of the day is located at Aqua Planet Aquarium at Kintex, Ilsan. It's a beautiful sophisticated building and famous for its largest aquarium found in Seoul and the neighboring regions. It opens in 2013 and relatively new. Instead of ripping tags game, it's a smearing and washing off the name tags on their back with a special crazy water liquid. Each and everyone found a bottle and started attacking one another. Gary, Haha and Jaesuk were the first few ones to be out of the race. Soon Tiger Kook met with his own demise as Kwang Soo rubs the liquid on his name tag happily. Kwang Soo was the main star so he doesn't need to run around and chase the others. He cleans off Ji Hyo's name tag at the end. Little does he know that his other members have final mission that is to deceive him and make him betray the last standing member. If they win the mission, they get KRW$10 million each. 

At last Kwangsoo betrayed Suk Jin hoping to win all the prize to himself (as expected from the rest he'd do that!). He laughs and cheers to himself thinking he won the entire race which in fact he won nothing. Poor fella... in fact Suk Jin received double prize since he's the last standing person to Kwang Soo. The next few days when Suk Jin and Jae Suk interviewed Kwang Soo at his home, he's nearly in the verge of tears... pitiful guy. 

Lesson we learn for the day: Do not betray your team mates as you'd never know what you are going to get at the end of the day. (but I'd not mind betraying Big Nose Brother or Giraffe Kwangsoo once a while)
