is Cutting the Rope. Cutting the Rope? One person from each team
will compete at a time. The first one to be eliminated
will earn zero points... while the other two
will earn one point each. The winning team
will receive 3,000 dollars. The team in second place
will receive 2,000 dollars. The team in third place
will receive... - 1,000 dollars.
- That's a lot. How much is it again? - 3,000 dollars.
- 3,000, 2,000... SBS must be rich. What we have so far is chump change. Anyway, one member from each team... will wear the harness
that is supported... by five ropes. You will stand on
a foothold and wait. In the order I point at,
you will answer my question... with the correct syllables. (Answer the question
in the correct syllables.) - Oh, that game.
- If you take more than... three seconds or make no sense, you will have to choose... - 1 rope out of the 5.
- And it'll be cut. Only two of them
are supporting your weight. - Got it.
- You will lose support... if one of those is cut,
and you'll fall when both are cut. (The harness is operated manually.) - Got it.
- Sounds like fun. Please choose who'll compete first. The first one from our team
will be... - Kwang Soo.
- Sure. - Se Chan is up.
- Since Kwang Soo is competing, - we choose Jin Hyuk.
- Jin Hyuk? - Go, Jin Hyuk.
- Because I'm tall? - That's right. Stand in the center.
- Let's do this. (The first players enter the arena.) - Jin Hyuk!
- The center of Team Idol. Your technology has improved. - It's improved?
- Yes. - Technology.
- It's always been this good. I will now ask the question. The one who's picked will give
a five-syllable answer. And the other two
will answer in turn. Why can't I give
a three-syllable answer? I can't think
of any five-syllable words. What are some five-syllable words? Let's begin. Focus. What's a nickname you want
to give to your girlfriend? Kwang Soo goes first. (What's a nickname you want
to give to your girlfriend?) - Pencil Eraser.
- What? (Time's up.) (Does he call his girlfriend
Pencil Eraser?) What was that? You could've said things
like "Cute Baby". I couldn't think of anything. Why can't you think
of words like that? I have no idea now. Why is it so hard? Hey, wait. Can you make it easier for me? Fine. You should just say any
five-syllable word. Say anything. I can't even understand
the question. Pick a number from 1 to 5. Four. - Four?
- Yes. (He picks number 4.) Cut rope number four. 1, 2, 3. (Is rope number 4 real or fake?) (Gulping) (He picked the real rope.) (Number 4 was a real rope
that was holding Kwang Soo.) Is this how it goes? (Number 4 was a real rope
that was holding Kwang Soo.) - Hey, wait.
- My gosh. (They are terrified
by the technology at Running Man.) Is this how it goes?
Gosh, I'm so surprised. - It's going really low.
- I'm so startled. - So this is how we play it.
- Kwang Soo. - Kwang Soo, pull yourself together.
- What? Pull yourself together. - Hang on.
- He picked the real rope. - I mean...
- He's so unlucky. - Are you good at this game?
- Pull yourself together. - Are you good at this?
- Stay focused. Why are you so bad at this? You could say things like
"Cute Baby". - Now he's...
- You keep saying that. That's the only word
you can think of. He barely came up with the word. - "Cute Baby".
- "Cute Baby"? - That's the thing he can say.
- He just keeps saying... "Cute Baby". Can't you think
of five-syllable words? - Okay.
- Let's continue. What was your first impression
of Jessi? Jin Hyuk, you're up. Totally tough girl. (He gives a 5-syllable word.) Good. (Kwang Soo is supposed to give
a four-syllable word.) Cute and sexy. It should be a word
with four syllables. My goodness. It should go like 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Cute and sexy has five syllables. Please let this slide. - He didn't know the rules.
- I'm sorry. - We can't do that.
- He really didn't know. - He didn't know the rules.
- Why did you not know? Are you a fool or what? He's dumb. Admit that you're dumb. I'm dumb. Okay. I can let it slide then. - I'll give you one more chance.
- Okay. - This is the last time.
- All right. - Okay.
- It's simple. 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. What's the first thing you look for
when you see a girl? Kwang Soo. (What's the first thing you look for
when you see a girl?) Body and face. (Body and face) Face, body. Eyes, nose, and mouth. Heart. Brea... (Brea...) Wait. I'm sorry. Cut it. Hey! How could you... - Cut it.
- I'm sorry. I have no excuse. You need a one-syllable word. One syllable. Nose or Eyes. - My gosh.
- I know that. I meant the heart. I care about the heart. That's how he feels.
What's wrong about that? Stay quiet, Jessi. You should've said eyes or nose. Se Chan, you failed. Pick a number. - Three.
- Okay. - That must be the real rope.
- Number three. I hope Se Chan will
fall down right away. 1, 2, 3. Gosh, I'm scared. - Look at the angle.
- 1, 2, and 3. (Sliding) - Gosh, this is scary.
- Let's move on. All right. What comes to your mind
right now? Se Chan, you're up. (What comes to your mind right now?) Things are getting worse... Darn it. - "I want to go home."
- Why is it so hard? What's wrong with you? "I want to go home." - "I want to eat."
- "I want this to be over." "I want this to be over." My goodness. That was easy. Pick a number. - Number 1.
- Number 1. 1, 2, 3. (What's rope 1 Se Chan picked?) (No change) There's no change. (Relieved) What part of your body
are you not proud of? Kwang Soo. (What part of your body
are you not proud of?) Face and body. Why did you not say buttocks? Gums, face. - Jin Hyuk.
- Shoulder line. (Shoulder line) - Kwang Soo.
- Eyes. - Se Chan.
- Everything. (Everything) (He suddenly makes a confession.) - Everything.
- Good. - Do you like it? Everything.
- What was that? - Which part of your face?
- Okay. What do you want to do
with someone you live? Se Chan. I want to go on a trip. Amusement park. Time's up. - You could say kiss.
- Kwang Soo. My goodness. (He's really bad at games.) I thought Se Chan was going next. He could've said "wherever". - My gosh.
- Pick a number. - Number 3.
- Number 3. (Kwang Soo picks number 3.) (Kwang Soo already cut
1 of the 2 real ropes.) (There's only 1 real rope
among the remaining 4.) 1, 2, 3. (Kwang Soo is out.) - My gosh.
- Oh no. He's the first one to lose the game. He picked the real one again. He's so unlucky. - He's out.
- Come on out. Gosh, Kwang Soo. Team Indie and Team Idol
get one point each. - We got one point!
- Yes! Jin Hyuk did a good job. Who's next? - Next up is Ho Hyun Ju.
- They are so young. - They are young, so...
- Hyun Ju. - Am I going next?
- You should. They are all too good. - Just go.
- But they are young. My gosh. Just go ahead and do it. Go up there. She's so talkative. Gosh, I'm so tired. Wait. Let me practice. - Just do it.
- Ask me a question. - Just do it.
- Any question. What do you want to say to your mom? I love you. All right. That's what you do. - Just do it. Go, Hyun Ju.
- I love you. I love you, Mom. Ho Hyun Ju, just come here. Why are you yelling at me like that? Come here. I'm really tired. I'm tired when I'm with her. Hyun Ju, put this on. She does have a unique character. - My gosh. The ropes are...
- Just do it. They must be good. Please lean forward. Good luck, Hyun Ju. Go, Hyun Ju! Go, Ji Young. - Go, Ahn Ji Young.
- Good luck. - Mapo-gu!
- Mapo-gu! - Mapo-gu!
- Mapo-gu! Hyun Ju, be confident. Hey, shush. (Hey, shush.) I got this. (Getting upset for the 3rd time) Let's begin. Wait. Please do it slowly. Wait. Who's first? - I don't know.
- He hasn't said that yet. I don't know! - Hey, I don't know.
- Let's just begin. - I'm so tired.
- Please begin. - Let's just begin.
- I don't know. I'm sorry. What do you look for in a guy? Jessi. One... - Face and...
- 2, 3... Face, personality, body. What? I say. (What? I say.) - What?
- Bo Pil. You should give her a yellow card. - Hey, I said it.
- It was too late. - Hey.
- It wasn't late. - What?
- Earlier... Hey, director. - It wasn't late at all.
- Think about earlier. Just give me a chance. - It was too late.
- Please. Don't get intimidated. You're intimidated by her, right? He's intimidated. (Coward Bo Pil,
Director of Running Man) Don't get cold feet. She failed. - Time's up.
- Just give me a chance. Just give her one more chance. This is your last chance. - Let's start over.
- So you don't get more chances. - And Bo Pil, don't get cold feet.
- Okay. She seemed pretty upset. That's why he gave her a chance. She seemed upset. It's so funny. Where did you have
your first kiss? Jessi. - 1, 2...
- It doesn't have to be true. On top of the closet. Okay. What? Hey, it's hip-hop. Hip-hop! - It's good, right?
- Yes. Does that count? Yes. Wasn't it in the closet? She just said it. On top of the closet? - It doesn't have to be true.
- You can just say a random place. It doesn't have to be true. - Okay.
- Just say any place. - It doesn't matter.
- Next. I don't know it yet. Playground. Bed. It's not true. She's just saying
a random place. - Next.
- Home. Good. This is more fun than I thought. It doesn't have to be true. I can't stop imagining
a kiss on top of the closet. Squeezing myself into the space. Good. What's the first thing... you thought of when you woke up
in the morning? Hyojung. Running Man is the best. - That was a good one.
- Jessi. Running Man again? Should I go home? What do I do? What do I do? - Oh no.
- What's wrong? - She just sounds cute.
- "What do I do?" - "What do I do?"
- "What do I do?" - "What do I do?"
- "What do I do?" - We say that.
- "What do I do?" - "What do I do?"
- "What do I do?" - "What do I do?"
- "What do I do?" I know what she means.
"What do I do?" Pick a number. Doesn't that count? - Number 4.
- Number 4. It will be all right. 1, 2, 3. (She picked the real rope.) I like her reaction. That was good. - Hyojung.
- I like your reaction. What should we do with Hyojung? - What do I do?
- Oh no. What gift do you want
to get Seok Jin? Jessi. I hate everything. (What was that?) - Why?
- What was that? I don't want to give him anything. Why? She doesn't want
to give him anything. She just doesn't want to. - Hang on.
- Listen. She can't give him anything
because she doesn't want to. She doesn't want
to give him anything. - Put yourself in her shoes.
- That's not a gift. "I hate everything" isn't a gift. - She doesn't want to.
- She should name a gift. She just doesn't want to. - Then I...
- There's nothing she wants. I don't want to give him anything. Jessi was being honest. She just hates it. - I don't want to give him anything.
- She should name a gift. A gift. You failed. Pick a number. - Number 1.
- Number 1. Cut number 1. 1, 2, 3. (No change) Good. You are safe. Okay. My luck is very good. I know. You're lucky. How do you feel when you look
into a mirror? Ji Young. This is great. Let's laugh. "Let's laugh". Good. Big breasts. Big breasts. (What?) - Keep going.
- Keep going. - Keep going.
- It makes sense. - Go.
- Keep going. - I can't think of anything else.
- Keep going. That was good. Keep going. - Keep going.
- Go. The best. Yup! - "Yup"?
- "Yup"? - "Yup"?
- What was that? - What does that mean?
- Yup! - Yup!
- What's wrong with it? - Yup!
- What's wrong with it? Yup! It's like an exclamation. - Doesn't "Yup" work?
- Pick a number. - 5.
- Pick well. 5. 1, 2, 3. That was a great reaction. - That was a great reaction.
- Hyojung is out. Jessi! (I won!) No way! Did Jessi win? (Did Jessi really win?) Hey, you! What was that man's name? - Se Chan.
- "That man". Jessi, go up there. Don't look down on Korean-American. What? - Why? What?
- What? - What?
- What? - Take these off.
- "What?" "Why? What?" - "Your head bing bing."
- "Your head bing bing." Teach me some English words. "Your head bing bing." Se Chan. - BewhY, let's go.
- Let's go. I will win a point. Let's go. What do you want to say
to your first love? Haha. Are you doing well? Where did you go? I miss you. Hello. Bravo! Come on! That was the worst. - For goodness' sake.
- That was the worst. - There's "Come" or "Go".
- "Come" and "Go". He will fall in the next round. "Come" and "Go" both works. Doesn't he have any ad-libs? Let's see how well you do later. Jae Seok was
slowly getting nervous... as his turn was approaching. - Doesn't he have any ad-libs?
- Doesn't he have any ad-libs? - Hyojung. Pick a number.
- Yes? - 5.
- 5. - Seok Jin chose rope number five.
- Let's go. 1, 2, 3. (It was a real rope.) Okay. I like this angle. I can't think of anything
since I am hanging like this. Don't think too much. Don't think of anything. - What?
- I mean... Why do you keep talking to me
in a casual way? She wasn't talking to you. - Why do you keep doing that?
- She wasn't talking to you. Why are you attacking her
when she wasn't talking to you? Don't hold grudges. When did we agree
to talk to each other casually? - Why do you keep doing that?
- I was talking to BewhY. What did you say? - BewhY.
- I was talking to BewhY. Then why did you glare at me? You are sticking out more. Am I sticking out more? Seok Jin. - Focus on the game.
- Okay. - Good luck.
- I am so nervous. Which nickname
do you want to give to your lover? BewhY. I... (BewhY fails to answer in time.) - Hey!
- For goodness' sake. He couldn't freestyle. Why couldn't you answer? I tried to think of something. There is "Cute Baby". Is that the only thing on your mind? Come up with something else! - I don't need anything else.
- That's his only repertoire. It works perfectly. Jae Seok will play the game too,
right? On, my goodness. BewhY. - Just say what comes to your mind.
- Hey. Don't think too hard. Experience! No! Not experience! He should go with the flow. He should go with the flow. (Taken aback) Would you let me speak? Seriously. Go with the flow. - Let me speak, okay?
- Don't be like that, Jessi. She shut me down. I am absolutely sure
Jae Seok will get slapped today. - I am absolutely sure.
- I won't do that. Pick a number. (It's BewhY's turn to pick a rope.) Five. 1, 2, 3. Okay. (After all that nagging,
BewhY picked a real rope.) What do you do first
when you go to the restroom? BewhY. I brush my teeth. - Mind the syllables!
- Mind the syllables! (BewhY gets eliminated
despite his team's guidance.) (Team Idol and Team Indie
get 1 point each.) That was incredible. In the last round, we'll play
until a winner is determined. Then the points
will be distributed accordingly. - Jae Seok.
- I will show you. Jae Seok, it'll be ridiculous... - if you do badly.
- Here comes the king of ad-libs. I'll show you how it's done. To play the game
against the king of ad-libs... Let's go! - Okay.
- This is the last round. - Let's go.
- The score is... Kwang Soo, watch me win. Jae Seok, show us what you can do.
Go up there. - I will do my best.
- The genius of ad-libs will play. - The emperor will play.
- Jae Seok, come on. - Come on.
- You can do it. - You can do it.
- Cute Baby, let's go! The national MC is the best! Which nickname
do you want to give to your lover? Jong Kook. (Jong Kook.) Cute Baby. (Caught by surprise) Hold on. Why did he steal that one? (Why did you steal that one?) (His only ad-lib was stolen
right before his eyes.) Oh, my goodness! - Cute Baby!
- Hold on. - Cute Baby.
- There are other nicknames! Right, there's My Baby. - My Baby.
- Okay. Your ad-libs are really limited. - Why didn't you say "Pretty Baby"?
- Let's start over. - Okay.
- For goodness' sake. - "Pretty Baby" would have worked.
- I only thought of "Cute Baby." ("Cute Baby" couldn't help him.) This is just a game.
Don't be nervous. - All right.
- Okay? - 2.
- 2. - Good luck.
- Two. - He must be scared.
- Two. 1, 2, 3. Okay. - Hang in there.
- Okay. Jae Seok. Don't talk too much. Cute Baby, let's go! Okay! (Ji Hyo came to lean forward
as well.) Which past of yours
do you want to hide? Jong Kook. Glasses in my Turbo days. Next. Grasshopper... Four syllables! Grasshopper... Four syllables! - You are driving me crazy!
- Good job. What is your problem? - Seriously.
- "Grasshopper..." (He would have done better
in his rookie days.) - How can we get him to ease up?
- What was that? I am a fan, but... - I am a fan too.
- This is too much. - I want to see you do well.
- Okay, okay. Just go down a syllable each time. Why are you so nervous? - I will survive.
- Make sure you do that. - 4 and 5 remain.
- Okay. What are you doing? - What are you doing?
- 4 and 5 remain. (Hanging) - His legs went weak.
- Hold on. - For goodness' sake.
- 4 and 5. Four. Jae Seok chose rope number four. 1, 2, 3. Come on down. You looked like the biggest coward. - You are a coward.
- The biggest coward. For goodness' sake. He tried to step on the floor. Okay, okay. Okay. - This is your last chance.
- Jae Seok, this is the last chance. - Do as well as I did.
- I will show you. - I will bring you victory.
- Seriously. - Jae Seok.
- I will bring you victory. - I...
- Go back to your seat! I will survive. I will win 3,000 dollars. - The syllables go down by one.
- Jae Seok. - Okay.
- I did it too. What do you want to say to your ex?
Jong Kook. Are you well? Next. That's right. You... That's right. You... (That's right. I'm...) Hold on. I answered. - Why can't you do it?
- I answered. - For goodness' sake.
- I answered. "I miss you." How's that? - But...
- "I love you." "That's right. You..." It has an implicit meaning. (Jae Seok was
all talk and no action.) Bye. Doesn't it work? - Bye.
- 1, 2, 3. "That's right. You..." doesn't work? That's ridiculous. I am sorry. - He apologized.
- We won once, right? Name your favorite Korean celebrity. Sunwoo Yong Nyeo is the best. 2, 3. Okay! (Ji Hyo is the 2nd
to get eliminated.) You won. "What do I do?" - "What do I do?"
- "What do I do?" - Okay.
- We are doing really well, right? The results
of the first mission are out. Team Idol placed 1st
and received 3,000 dollars. (Team Idol acquires 3,000 dollars.) Team Indie placed 2nd
and received 2,000 dollars. Team Hip-hop placed 3rd
and received 1,000 dollars.
