Relationships between running man members....
Relation | Members | Details |
---|---|---|
Kim Jong-kook, Ha-ha, Gary | Often found in the same team, Ha-ha and Gary often appear afraid of and are usually under the control of the domineering Kim Jong-kook. | |
Gary, Song Ji-hyo | The primary loveline of the show, they show interest in each other on Mondays, which used to be the day the show was recorded (later on the show was recorded on Mondays and Tuesdays, leading to jokes about the couple not being in effect on Tuesdays). | |
Song-Song Siblings (송송남매) | Song Joong-ki, Song Ji-hyo | This dynamic was made official in episode 23, though the couple's loveline attracted attention from episode 15 when Joong-Ki kissed Ji-Hyo on the cheek. They later evolved into a sibling-like relationship as the Song-Song Siblings. |
Lee Kwang-su, Song Joong-ki | Lee Kwang-su claims to be close friends with Song Joong-ki due to their same age (26), but Song Joong-ki would often deny their close friendship, leaving Kwang-su appearing depressed. Song Joong-ki finally admitted their relationship in his leaving speech during the filming of his last episode. | |
Yu Jae-suk, Ji Suk-jin, Lee Kwang-su | This trio is often eliminated the earliest during Bells Hide and Seek, and meet each other at the jail. | |
Yu Jae-suk, Ji Suk-jin | The two MCs have been close friends for more than 20 years and that they both have "Suk" in their name. However, Ji Suk-jin is always jealous of the good relationship Jae-suk has with Kim Jong-kook. In episode 27, Ji Suk-jin was referred to as Yu Jae-suk's "sunflower" (always facing towards him) and was officially christened as such in Episode 40. | |
Kim Jong-kook, Ha-ha | These two are often on the same team and they have an older brother/little brother relationship throughout the show. | |
Easy Brothers (이지 브라더스) | Ji Suk-jin, Lee Kwang-su | The New Dumb and Dumber relation was first depicted in episode 65, when they became a bumbling duo, acting similarly to the Dumb and Dumber couple of Family Outing They were rechristened the Easy Brothers when they were designated spies for Episode 68, and a clue was offered to the other members that threatened to reveal their identities. The clue was "Easy," a romanization of the combination of their surnames 이 (Lee/Ea) and 지 (Ji/Sy). Whenever they are paired up, they are also known for performing their "Feel, Touch, Cross!" cheer before each mission. |
Ji Suk-jin, Lee Kwang-su, Gary | This is a portmanteau of "Gary" and "Easy" given in episode 72 after they were not chosen by the guests of the episode. Thus combining all three of their names together by first syllable of their names 개 (Gae/Ga), 이 (Ee/i), 지(Ji/sy). | |
Yu Jae-suk, Ji Suk-jin, Lee Kwang-su | An evolved form of the Easy Brothers, it was created as Ji Suk-jin was getting jealous of Lee Kwang-su being close with Yu Jae-suk, and calling themselves Lee-Yu in episode 81. Asking whether Lee Kwang-su was withEasy or the new Lee-Yu, Yu Jae-suk replies "that is the reason" ("the reason" is "Lee-Yu-Ji" in hangul), and Ji Suk-jin reluctantly joins them to become Lee-Yu-Ji, which is their last names put together. | |
Yu Jae-suk, Ha-ha | This new loveline was formed after the announcement that cast member Song Ji-hyo was dating the CEO of her company. Ji Suk-jin commented that a new loveline was needed in the show. Following which, Ha-ha commented that he was preparing for a loveline and Yu Jae-Suk immediately jokingly replied, saying that he couldn't sleep because he has been thinking about Ha-ha too much. | |
Tiger and Giraffe (호랑이와 기린) | Kim Jong-kook, Lee Kwang-su | This was formed in Episode 82 where Lee Kwang-su and Kim Jong-kook were paired into a team. So their names were combined to form "Kooksu" which is a pun because it also means "Noodles" in Korean. Also, since Kim Jong-kook resembles a tiger and Lee Kwang-su resembles a giraffe, their relationship is also known as Tiger and Giraffe. This happened again in Episode 84 where Lee Kwang-su and Kim Jong-kook were chosed by the opposing team to pair up together with paper handcuffs, leaving both of them stuck to each other for the rest of the episode. |
Ji Suk-jin, Lee Kwang-su, Kim Jong-kook | This is a portmanteau of [Kim Jong]-"kook" and "Easy" given in episode 83 after they formed a team. Thus combining all three of their names together by first syllable of their names 국 (kook), 이 (Ee/i), 지(Ji/sy). |
