Watch: "Running Man" Previews A "Young Ji Vs. Young Ji" Showdown Between Heo Young Ji And Lee Young Ji

Aug 15, 2021

It will be Young Ji vs. Young Ji in next week’s episode of SBS’s “Running Man”!

In the preview for next week, it was revealed that Heo Young Ji and Lee Young Ji would be appearing as guests. Lee Young Ji is a rapper who won the third season of “High School Rapper” and Heo Young Ji is a former KARA member, singer, and actress.

The preview begins with Yoo Jae Suk commenting that it has been a long time since the cast filmed together. This episode was the first recorded after Yoo Jae Suk’s self-quarantine period. Yoo Jae Suk also congratulates Ji Suk Jin on being the first cast member to get vaccinated—because he is the only cast member in his 50s. (South Korea has had a slow vaccination rollout and people in their 50s first became eligible for the vaccine in late July.)

The theme for this episode is Lingzhi mushroom (“Youngji mushroom” in Korean), which is prized for its health benefits. The cast must choose which “Young Ji” to team up with for the race and both Heo Young Ji and Lee Young Ji show off their dance skills to win team members to their side. But when it comes to giving their team members points, their teammates are shocked at how both Young Jis dealt out the points.

This episode of “Running Man” airs on August 22. Check out the preview below!
