Running Man 300th Episode special.

After 6 years since it's first episode broadcast on SBS TV station, the popular variety program Running Man has kept ongoing until today. The show has shown us 6 X 4 seasons that the members and cast have gone through. It is their 300th episode special. They were presented a big cake celebrating the special event and on the wall were plaques of the 300 episodes they have filmed. So far they have already invited 600+ guests to Running Man.

The theme concept of the race is 7 vs. 300 (XXX) for this round. 7 of the RM members are up against 300 something. First race is they were given KRW3000,000 cash in a bag but first they must solve 7 questions from the 300 episodes they have filmed which is time ticking. KRW10 is deducted in each second so time is consuming. They must remember the key words or event in the episodes they choose. Ha Ha was going green in envy when he picked the episode his 'first love' happens to be actress Han Ga In. He got it right and moved on where Ji Hyo scored it right on UFC Fighter Chu Sang Hoon was the guest in the Avengers episode. Seok Jin also scored it right for the recent episode. The best was Jong Kook remembered there were 108 TV cameras that actor Jeong Woo Sung was using for that special episode. Everyone was amazed by his wonderful memory mentioning Kookie must be a big fan of RM that he watches every episode everyday! Gary breezed through when he mentioned Rain and Kim Woo Bin as the guests in the Australia episodes. Happy Days Kwang Soo remembered he was brushing his teeth when they barged into his house.

The worst came down to Jae Suk as he remembered nothing from the episodes. Everyone was suspicious wondering if he's a spy as how could he not remember anything.
RM team lost all the money and didn't get a hint for their puzzle map.

2nd race is 7 vs. 300 (meters)- they were brought to an empty space with big LED screen stating each member must write 300 over words in an essay on the ground. They have 1/2 hour to complete the mission. If they fail, they will be splatted with flour which was fixed on top of their helmet they were wearing. Ji Hyo started off by writing each members names and she was smart to leave space in between the boxes to fill it up quickly. She kicked Kwang Soo for being too slow and not spacing out the Korean characters. Jae Suk was blabbering non stop telling them to hurry up. Kookie was writing very sentimental essay on his other end. RM Team wins the 2nd round and wins a puzzle hint. Next they were brought to an park nearby the river.

3rd mission was 7 vs. 300 (bowls)- RM Team versus VJ Cameraman team. They are to battle out eating 300 types of dishes. Jae Suk is worried when it comes to his own VJ Kwon Ryul who eats like a giant. Seok Jin was rather poor in shoving down the food. Haha was fast and so was Kwang Soo. Kookie was stuck with eating things he doesn't like such as chocolates..etc. RM team tried their best but VJ team won by eating 226 bowls vs 222. 
The losing team has to fork the bill for the foot. Jae Suk suggested by game luck cards. Whoever picks the card will have to pay. Ha Ha needs to pay $3, Ji Hyo needs to dance, Gary forks out $15 and Kookie was the super unlucky where he picked the card of paying $1000! All laughed and cheered as last year was the same- Tiger has to foot the big bill! 

They were entertained by idol group BTS who were dancing away. The 4th mission is moving 300 boxes of instant noodles onto a truck. Each team has a cart and they are to shove as many ramen noodles boxes into the truck. Losing team will have to donate 200+ boxes for charity. 

At first BTS were leading as Kwang Soo tried to cheat. However member Jimin clung onto Kwangsoo while Rap Monstar was loading quickly onto their truck. Kookie couldn't stand anymore so he alone pinned 3 BTS members down to the ground allowing Seok Jin, Kwang Soo and Jae Suk to transport the boxes into RM truck. However BTS wins the round. It's game luck again resulting someone has to dig deeper to donate to charity. Turns out Kookie was lucky as he doesn't need to donate a single thing. Kwang Soo, Seok Jin and Jae Suk were always the unlucky 3 so they decided to swap their cards. If Kwang Soo didn't swap the 2nd time, he wouldn't be donating 200 boxes. He was just unlucky where he swap again with Seok Jin. Hah! 

After all the running and moving boxes, RM team moves onto a new location- a gym hall where they were greeted by 300 students. They were all selected via the RM casts. First up contestant to challenge Jae Suk is 'flipping the card' - takjigi. It's one game that Jae Suk is aware and good at. However the tables have turned as his performance was poor and turns out the high school student flipped the card! 

Stay tuned for the 2nd part where the losing team will have to pay the price- somewhere dark and mysterious place they have go to. LOL!
