What are we doing now?

(Kang So Ra, a free woman dreaming of a break from her kids)

He's a real man. The stamina... It was very sexy.

Right. It's been almost that much.

- Really? - Yes.

Who did you come with back then?

I came here to promote "Secret Zoo" back then.

She had her first daughter in 2021.

(Her first daughter, Da Mi, was born in April 2021.)

In 2023, she had her second daughter.

- Really? - So...

Everything has happened so smoothly in perfect order.

So, you have two children.

- That's amazing. - It all happened during COVID-19.

So no one knew about it.

My goodness.

Her way of speaking sounds very friendly.

the So Ra of 2019 and the So Ra of today...

(So Ra changed a lot over the past 6 years.)

- are quite different. - She's different now.

I'm the team leader today.

So no one knew about it.

She's not the same So Ra anymore.

I got out of myself.

- You did? - Yes. I broke free.

(Check out the new So Ra in a few minutes.)

All right. About So Ra...

You must've seen people like that in the entertainment field.

Those who don't want to go home after the shoot.

- She's like that? - She's one of them.

(Even So Ra couldn't escape the Married Club.)

- Right, So Ra? - Yes.

- I understand. - Of course.

I'm here to recharge my dopamine today.

- To get some adrenaline. - I understand.

(Madame Freedom is here just for some real fun.)

- Right. - You'd need that.

Now that you're all dressed up, you should have some fun.

- Exactly. I don't want to waste it. - Good.

You can't just go straight home.

Jae Hyeon, isn't this your first time on Running Man?

(It is actually Jae Hyeon's first time on Running Man.)

Yes, it's my first time.

- Your first time? - I feel like I've seen you here.

I've wanted to meet you. I've really wanted to come.

Why are you talking to me?

- It's good to see you. - We met at some wedding ceremonies.

- I know! - At the wedding venues.

- We met at some wedding ceremonies. - I know!

Seok Jin doesn't remember.

- We greeted each other back then. - We did.

Jae Hyeon, he doesn't remember you.

- You don't remember me? - Of course, I remember you.

- You don't. - Jae Hyeon.

How can I forget you when you're so handsome?

- We've met many times. - I know.

(Today's race with the welcomed guests)

- You've met a lot. - Right.

Here's what we're doing today. Recently,

a dilemma introduced on "You Quiz on the Block..."

(The dilemma has become a hot topic these days.)

hosted by Jae Seok became a hot topic.

- What is it? - A dilemma?

- What became a hot topic? - What is it?

Compared to people around the world, only Korean people...

make different choices, so it is currently...

- a subject of research in academia. - What is it?

It's a dilemma called "What's Wrong with Koreans?"

What is it about?

- In Game A, - Yes.

the probability of winning 100,000 dollars is 100 percent.

- It's 100 percent. - You get the money right away.

- You get the money for sure. - Okay.

- And? - In Game B,

the probability of winning 100,000 dollars is 89 percent,

the probability of winning 500,000 dollars is 10 percent,

and the probability of getting nothing is one percent.

Which game would you like to play?

- It's definitely Game B. - I have to play Game B.

- It's Game B. - I have to play Game B.

- Of course. - It's just obvious.

- You'll choose Game B, right? - Jae Seok.

- I mean... - Most people will choose Game B.

(The tiger moths have no reason to hesitate.)

Would you choose Game A?

- What? - Would you choose Game A?

- I'll definitely choose Game A. - Game A?

I'll choose Game A for sure.

Most people in other countries, excluding Koreans,

- choose Game A. - Game A?

- I'll choose Game A. - My choice is Game A.

- But most people. would choose... - I will...

- Game B? - Game B.

- Most Koreans choose Game B? - I'll definitely go with Game B.

Most of them?

Only 1 out of 100 people will get nothing.

- It can't be me. - I'm not the one person.

- Exactly. - Actually,

I'd be sad if I were 1 of the 89 people.

- Right. - Getting nothing is better.

- Right? That would be better. - I know.

- I'd rather get nothing. - A dud.

(The tiger moths would rather get nothing than 100,000 dollars.)

Getting 100,000 dollars is meaningless.

- Because I want 500,000 dollars. - I want 500,000 dollars.

- What about you? - Would you choose Game B?

- Game B. - B?

- It gives me a dopamine hit! - You want Game B?

I'd choose Game B.

- B. - So,

we prepared today's race for the tiger moths...

of Running Man.

- This is it. - What's Wrong with Running Man?

- I see. - What's Wrong with Running Man?

- That's the name of the race. - It sounds crazy. What is it about?

- Hey. - I'll definitely go with Game B.

- Let me make a bet. - Bring in the roulettes.

This is so much fun!

This is so much fun!

- What is it? - Look at them.

This is 100 percent,

- and that one is a numbers game. - What?

- I love it. - Let me see.

As I explained earlier, we have two roulette wheels.
