Watch: "Running Man" Cast Is Controlled By Evil Doll In Creepy Preview For Horror-Themed Episode

Aug 22, 2021

Get ready for a spooky episode of “Running Man”!

On August 22, the SBS variety show aired an eerie sneak peek of next week’s episode, which will be themed around some mysterious dolls.

Things start out innocuous enough in the new preview, with the cast arriving at a “VIP doll exhibition.” After checking out the expensive dolls on display, the members are asked to each choose one limited-edition doll for themselves.

However, things take a dark turn when writer Kim So Hee joins the cast to provide more information about the dolls they’ve chosen. Looking at Song Ji Hyo‘s doll, the writer suddenly gasps in shock and exclaims, “Wait, why are you—” before breaking off and falling unconscious to the ground. The cast is then informed that the writer has passed away, and the member who has chosen the most expensive doll will be receiving an inheritance.

To figure out more about what writer Kim So Hee has left behind, the cast travels to a new location, where they notice that there are tons of dolls and stuffed toys placed around the building. As the members wonder aloud why there are so many dolls, they begin to surreptitiously search the building for specific toys.

Yoo Jae Suk then watches an old videotape that shocks him, and Yang Se Chan asks, “Have I been possessed?” Meanwhile, the caption teases, “The most expensive doll is controlling us from somewhere!?”

The next episode of “Running Man” will air on August 29 at 5 p.m. KST. In the meantime, check out the haunting new preview below!
