The April 15 episode featured the “Running Man” cast splitting up into two teams and engaging in a vicious battle to steal each other’s possessions. The highest-rated minute of the show came towards the end of the broadcast, with viewership ratings peaking at 8 percent during the moment when one cast member’s fatal error turned the entire competition upside down.

Additionally, Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Jong Kook, who typically entertain “Running Man” viewers with their nonstop bickering, surprised everyone by transforming into the ultimate partners in crime once they ended up on the same team. Meanwhile, Lee Kwang Soo and Lee Da Hee continued to amuse everyone with their unique brand of chemistry, jokingly teasing each other mercilessly throughout the entire episode.
