Watch: "Running Man" Teases "Single's Inferno" Special Featuring Dex

Jun 04, 2023

Get ready for a special dating show-themed episode of “Running Man”!

On June 4, “Running Man” aired a fun sneak peek of next week’s episode, which will parody the hit dating show “Single’s Inferno.” In keeping with the theme, “Single’s Inferno 2” star Dex will appear as a guest, alongside actresses Lee Se Hee and Han Ji Eun.

In the newly released preview, the men kick off the show by making declarations of romantic interest in the other “contestants.” Looking at Song Ji Hyo, Jun So Min, Lee Se Hee, Han Ji Eun, and Ji Suk Jin (who is hilariously lumped in with the women to even out the numbers), HaHa announces, “Honestly, I’m interested in about two of you.” Referring to guest Dex, Song Ji Hyo jokingly retorts, “But we’re only interested in one of you.”

Dex then gets up and declares, “I’m interested in four of you,” leading Ji Suk Jin to jokingly act offended.

However, things take an unexpected turn when Dex and Ji Suk Jin strike up a bromance that no one could have seen coming. As Dex affectionately rests his head on Ji Suk Jin’s shoulder during a picnic, he says, “I feel comfortable with you, hyung.” He adds in voice-over, “Why do I dislike him and yet still like him so much?” After praising Dex by saying, “He’s cool and manly,” Ji Suk Jin dramatically calls out, “I don’t need anyone else but you, Dex!”

As couples begin to pair off, Jun So Min confesses, “I’m so confused right now.” Then, when an apparent love triangle forms between her, Yang Se Chan, and Han Ji Eun, Jun So Min pretends to get upset before tearfully cutting off an interview in true reality show contestant style. “I’m sorry, I’ll do the interview a little later,” she says as she gets up from her seat.

The next episode of “Running Man” will air on June 11 at 6:15 p.m. KST. In the meantime, check out the new preview below!
