[Sportschosun Kim So-hee reporter] Song Ji-hyo of Running Man has emerged as a Ronaldinho lookalike.
In the episode of SBS's Running Man airing on Sunday, the 21st, as the entire nation is fired up by World Cup fever, the members' chaotic soccer training camp will be unveiled.
The recent recording was themed as the "Running Man Summer Soccer Vacation," and the members reunited as one team for the first time in a while, combining a soccer training camp with a summer bonding retreat. Arriving in their own distinctive soccer uniforms, they immediately started trading sharp jabs, saying things like, "Why is Gae-pul wearing Son Heung-min's uniform?" and "Isn't that Jeobakgye?" The playful teasing created a lively atmosphere, and Song Ji-hyo even picked up a new nickname: "She looks like Ronaldinho today. Songnauzinho!"
Meanwhile, the members will be assigned various grueling tasks depending on the outcome of the penalty shootout mission that day. A mysterious goalkeeper who appeared as soon as the mission began put on a spectacular display of saves without holding back, firmly guarding the net. Fired up by the challenge, the members quickly moved into a strategy meeting to figure out how to break through.
They reportedly even threw every imaginable tactic into the mix and staked everything on the penalty shootout. But as the mission went on, blame and resentment began to spread among them, pushing the team to the brink of collapse rather than unity. Viewers are now curious to see whether the members can truly show teamwork worthy of a bonding event.
The "Running Man Summer Soccer Vacation" race, featuring a fierce competitive spirit on par with the South Korea national football team, will air on Running Man on Sunday, the 21st, at 6:10 p.m.
