Running Man Episode 9

Hong Ki Overshadowed Completely

I agree with what the other person said, while I think Shin Bong Sun was just trying to be funny there was absolutely no need to take it to the extent that she did. She was obnoxious and clearly making Jong Kook uncomfortable (especially with the kiss). He did really well to go along with and put up with it, but you could see how upset he was before the tea challenge started. Jae Seok as the host should have noticed this and tried to stop it but he was instead enabling her as was the other members. I think they were all trying to be funny but this shouldn't be done at one of their members expense. That being said she completely overshadowed the other guests, where Kim Soo Ro was able to get a bit of screen time due to his excellence at the catching game poor Hong Ki was never able to talk let alone get any screen time. Usually Jae Seok is good at trying to get everyone included but I felt that this episode was quite lacking in that regard. I'm not even a huge fan of Hong Ki and I just felt bad for the guy.
