Daniel Choi with a blue beard… Where did the bespectacled handsome man go, he’s now a natural person scratching his belly (Running Man)

SBS ‘Running Man’ new rental member actor Daniel Choi made everyone laugh from the first moment he appeared.

The ‘Running Man’ broadcast on the 6th was decorated with a ‘New Family Garasadae’ race and a special welcoming ceremony for Daniel Choi, who joined as a new rental member.

The ‘Running Man’ members decided to gather before Daniel Choi to prepare the welcoming ceremony, and Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, and Yang Se-chan raided Daniel Choi’s house. The members were given the task of getting Choi Daniel to work as quickly as possible, so while any direct urging comments would be deducted from the security guard, the three approached Choi Daniel under the pretext of a vlog about the first day of work as a rental member.

Choi Daniel, who was known to be recording at 2 PM, suddenly appeared as a ‘natural person’, causing lots of laughter. Not only was his hair disheveled, but his beard was also unkempt, and the members were astonished, saying, “Is he made up? It looks like he‘s drifting on an island”. Choi Daniel then said, “I was sleeping. What’s going on?” and scratched his stomach, showing off his ‘real ending’ side. After that, Choi Daniel tried to leisurely get ready for work, but Yoo Jae Suk, who couldn‘t stand it any longer, sprayed shaving foam on Choi Daniel’s bare face, making everyone laugh.

After many twists and turns, Choi Daniel finally arrived at the filming set and had a small welcoming ceremony with the members, declaring his official joining as a rental member.

On this day, Choi Daniel garnered attention for his amazing chemistry with Ji Ye Eun. For the second mission, ‘Running Man Navillera’,’ they had to memorize the menu written behind a high wall, and since henggarae was a must, it was important to know each other‘s weight. Ji Ye Eun said, “45 kg”, but everyone dismissed it as a lie, and Choi Daniel stated, “If you’re 172 cm tall, then you‘re 59 kg”. Ji Ye-eun got angry and asked, “What’s 58kg?” and Choi Daniel brightly replied, “Is it more?”

With Yoo Jae-suk, Song Ji-hyo, and Ji Ye-eun representing the team, the members who lifted Ji Ye-eun were surprised and said, “It‘s a little different,” and after the hangarae, Yoo Jae-suk said, “I feel like I’m going to throw up,” fueling the ‘Ji Ye-eun weight controversy.’ With the cost going up to 100,000 won, the members had lunch with Sundae Gukbap, Choi Daniel‘s favorite menu.

Next week’s episode will feature the second story of ‘New Family Says Garasadae,’ which is not over yet, along with the ‘Decision to Drive’ race for ‘beginner driver’ Ji Ye-eun.
