[Sportschosun, Reporter Kim So-hee] Broadcaster Kwanghee lit up Running Man with his sharper-than-ever visuals and candid wit, turning the show into a laughter-filled chaos.
On the SBS variety show Running Man, which aired on the 28th, the cast took part in the "A Priceless New World" race, where the fates of yangban and servants were decided. The members transformed into Joseon Dynasty nobles and servants who had time-slipped into the modern era, then launched into fierce missions to rise in status or keep their rank.
Kwanghee, who appeared as a guest that day, drew attention from the start by showing up with even more glamorous makeup than usual. With heavy eye makeup and a noticeably different vibe, he said, "People are surprised because I’m on terrestrial TV after such a long time," drawing laughs with his nervous demeanor.
Ji Ye-eun, who saw him, welcomed him warmly and said, "You’ve gotten more handsome." Kwanghee playfully shot back, "Then treat me like an actor." But after Ji Ye-eun noticed his dark eye makeup, she teased, "Your eye makeup is darker than mine. This is no joke." Kwanghee answered, "The intimidation is no joke either," sending the set into laughter.
Yoo Jae-suk, who was reunited with him after a long time, also could not hide his delight. He asked, "So you said you weren’t doing variety shows for a while?" Yang Se-chan joined in with a joke, saying, "There were rumors that you got celebrity disease."
Ji Suk-jin added, "If you’re not going to do it, shouldn’t you just keep not doing it?" Kwanghee then vented his hurt feelings and made everyone laugh, saying, "I was starving for popularity. These days, when I walk down the street, people ask, 'Why aren’t you on TV anymore?' and 'Did Yoo Jae-suk abandon you?' Did you really leave me behind? You’re always hanging out with some other younger brother. You were with Byun Woo-seok, too."
When Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Why did celebrity disease suddenly hit you?" Kwanghee replied honestly, "I suddenly wanted to live like a celebrity, too. I went to hot concerts and even followed Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival around." His candid answer once again filled the studio with laughter.
