(K)POPCORN REACTION | RUNNING MAN EPISODE 82 FULL REACTION

Also what was so frustrating for Jaesuk/why he was so worked up when Da Hae (the guest) was trying to convince him that they were spies was that Da Hae was making it too obvious. From Jaesuk's POV, the point of the game as the spy (himself), is to complete his missions without being suspected or taken out as the spy, now he has a partner so one of them needs to survive. Da Hae was obviously acting like a spy and everyone already thought she was one all day. And in the mall, she's even more "obvious." So Jae Suk's thought pattern was like "ok, got it, we're both spies; but you're so obvious right now and everyone is already suspecting you. We need one of us 2 spies to survive to the end/complete mission to win. You being this obvious right now and out in the open, loudly saying 'we're spies!' is not helping at all and is only going to make someone suspect me. Then we'll both be taken out and lose. Get away from me and lower your voice!" And Da Hae just keeps swinging from loudly proclaiming since it's already obvious, let's just 'kill' 'em all to shushing Jae Suk whenever he would get worked up and raise his voice slightly. Re-watch that part knowing this context, and it's hilarious!

This is months later so you probably won't even remember the beginning of this episode lol But at the beginning, they talk about needing a new love line and Gary said he'd been drinking for 3 days, and there's even a caption about the 1 year and 6 month Monday Couple ending. All this is because by the time filming happened for this episode, about a few days prior, news broke out about Ji Hyo being in a relationship. It was with a CEO of an entertainment company/label (I think her own label at one point). So as of Jan 2025, if you've noticed less Monday Couple content for a little bit, it's because of that (though they do have some moments to help give Ji Hyo's and Gary's characters some camera time). Monday Couple love line came back strong when the break up news came out. Also, some relevant gossip, but supposedly this relationship of Ji Hyo's ends up being one of her most hurtful relationships and she decides to stay single for years. To this day, this is her last known relationship.

Da Hae was amazing.. how she used the members by getting them to eliminate eachother, clever. Poor Jaesuk tho, he got soooooo fooled :D
