Next, the Running Man cast is going
to play games with some lucky fans on stage. I supposed those lucky
fans were picked before the showcase. The Running Man cast was divided
into two teams – White team (Jee Seok Jin, Gary), Blue team (Jong Kook
and Haha) whereas Song Ji Hyo can participate in either team. The first
game is a guessing game. They are supposed to stand in a line and a
picture was flashed onscreen and the team have to pass the message
through body gesture all the way to the last person in the team and the
person have to guess the correct answer. Danny teach the Running Man
cast to ‘Sabo’ (use tricks to make the other party lose) each other. The
first name that came to mind is Lee Kwang Soo who is known for his
betrayal. Jong Kook team did pretty well for this game, thanks to Haha
who can imitate a monkey so well that they scored a point for their team
when they get the answer right.
The
next game is kicking the slippers into the shoes cabinet and their
names were pasted inside the shelf. What a pity! Gary almost kicked his
slipper into the cabinet but it bounces off the edge. Eventually, a
contestant accidentally kicked a slipper into Kim Jong Kook cabinet and
that was a mistake, thus giving a point to Jong Kook team. Next, it was
Jong Kook turn to kick the slipper and the Running Man cast keeps
teasing him by giving him the pink slipper. Jong Kook rejected their
offer and carefully picked a orange slipper that is a bigger size. He
almost made it but it slipped past the shoe cabinet. Kim Jong Kook team
won the games and they give out the freebies to the participants and
took photograph with them onstage.
Finally, Danny told the audience to take out their tickets because there is going to be a lucky draw. Each Running Man will draw five tickets from the balloting bowl. These lucky fans will be able to come onstage to play games with the Running Man. To our disappointment, we did not get chosen and some of the fans were pretty sore about it. Sensing the disappointment, HaHa asked the audiences to be sporting and give some cheers to the people onstage. It turned out that the people who are chosen have to dance to Psy – “Oppa Gangam style” One of the participants even danced forward and shake in order to get picked by the Running Man.
Eventually, five participants were picked by the Running Man and the game is sticking post-it stickers on the participants and they have 30 seconds to shake off the post-it stickers. I like the way the four Running Man flower boys chanting, “I am sorry” when they pasted the stickers on the participants. Danny even commented that the way they sing is like ‘hokkien’ song (because of the tone). Before the competition start, Danny asked the Running Man demonstrate to the audience by dancing. Jee Seok Jin and Gary shake and dance to the music. Noticeably Gary is clearly a good dancer as he move and sway with his signature butterfly dance step. Not to be outdone, Kim Jong Kook showed off his dance move together with HaHa and Song Ji Hyo. Gary looked sad when he said to Ji Hyo, “Why did you dance with them?” Ji Hyo replied, “I love you!” to thunderous applauds and cheers from the audiences. Gary was pleasantly surprised and said, "This is the first time you said that!" Ji Hyo did a couple dance with Gary, but when Gary attempt to plant a kiss on Ji Hyo cheek, he gets pushed away by her.
The game starts and the participants tried their best to shake off the post-it stickers. In the end, Ji hyo team has the most number of post-it stickers left on the guy body. The man was teased by Danny for jumping like a zombie. HaHa on the other hand tried to play trick when he took out the post-it stickers from his team by counting to two when there are more than two post-it stickers left. Therefore, the winner is Kim Jong Kook team who has the least number of post-it stickers.
The
last game of the day is tug of war and the other five participants will
come out and compete with the Running Man team. The person standing
behind has to reach out for the bell and ring it in order to win the
game. All the participants left were ladies and Danny asked one of the
participants, “Are you nervous to face Kim Jong Kook?” The lady said,
“No I am not nervous.” Upon hearing that, Kim Jong Kook looked relief
and offer a hug to her. For the first round, the Running Man wins easily
but subsequently they added the number to nine participants and the
Running man finally lost. Likewise, the participants were given
autograph T-Shirts and caps for their participation.
Time
for some performance by the Running Man as they prepare behind stage,
we were shown video clips of the Running Man members. In addition, they
recorded a video message from Lee Kwang Soo to the delights of many but
some of them were disappointed that Yoo Jae Suk did not appear in the
video.
Then
the Running Man cast did song numbers and Jee Suk Jin sang ‘I swear’, a
throwback to his comedic audtion in 1993. The atmosphere was high when
Gary appears onstage and rap Leessang’s ‘Can’t break up girl, can’t
break away boy’ and ‘you are the answer to a guy like me.’ After that,
there was a rendition of Leessang’s ‘Turn off the TV’ by the Monday
couple. Haha did a medley of ‘story of a little kid, ‘You are my fate’
and ‘Rosa’, along with ‘Busan Vacance’; and kim Jong Kook rolled out his
famous ‘One man’ and ‘Today more than yesterday’. Staffs were holding
the torchlight and walking about the place to stop fans from filming and
taking photographs.
The
finale was the greatest highlight of the day when the fans started to
crowd at the front stage. They sang Leessang’s Humility is hard and Kim
Jong Kook ‘Loveable’. These energies bunnies ran and dance around the
stage while singing. They even prepared flowers to throw to the
audience. I was pretty shocked when some fans reached out and snatched
the flowers in a slightly chaotic situation. Haha and Gary splashed
some water at the crowds and towels were thrown out to the fans. At one
point, Kim Jong Kook even showed off his choco abs to the audience. That
marked the end of the performances as the Running Man cast hold hands
and bowed down to the audience. They promised to come back next year
with all the seven members and will suggest to the Running Man team to
film in Singapore. After the Fan meet, they went for clubbing at the
Zouk before they left Singapore the next day. Kim Jong Kook left Changi Airport at 2.30pm.
My thoughts
Running
Man went back to Korea and they left behind great memories for us fans.
I still remember the awesome performance by the cast and the excitement
in my heart. Although I had met Jong Kook oppa at his fan meet, I was
still starstruck when I saw him again at the Autograph session. I was
fated to receive Song Ji Hyo unnie autograph and was very happy about
it. I even received a hug from her. She is so pretty and slim but her
arms are strong. Glad to see the 5 Running Man in Singapore. Love them
all!! Gary is Super dubber cute and cool, Haha is humorous and funny,
Jong Kook is manly, strong and has sharp features, Song Ji Hyo is pretty
and has flawless skin, Jee Suk Jin is a comical funny man.. Next time
hope the Seven members will come to Singapore again.. Look forward..
