After reassuring the members that “all we have to do today is run,” Park Seo-jin immediately declares a challenge to complete a 10km run and offers the “appearance on *Salimnam Studio*”—which the members have long desired—as the first-place prize. As this unprecedented prize is revealed, the members’ competitive spirit is fully ignited, and all eyes are on who will ultimately secure the studio appearance after a fierce battle. In particular, Ahn Seong-hun, an experienced full-marathon runner, taunts, “If I’m a pro, these guys are newborns just taking their first steps.” Shin Seung-tae, who continues running even while traveling, calls himself the “Red Horse of the trot world” and throws down the gauntlet, saying, “Hyung Ji-won, Noonim Yowon, wait for me.” Jae-ha, whose weapon is diligence, also burns with extraordinary determination, declaring, “I don’t mind not being able to use my legs for a few days if it means getting to appear in the studio.” In the 10km race that finally began, all sorts of strategies and underhanded tactics—even at the expense of friendship—ran rampant. Reports indicate that the scene descended into complete chaos, with a series of outlandish sabotage attempts aimed at disrupting each other’s pace, and even unexpected psychological battles breaking out at the water stations. However, the real twist comes after all the competition is over. While having dinner to celebrate their first gathering, Park Seo-jin made a surprise announcement about an unexpected upcoming project, leaving all the members in a state of shock as they exclaimed, “You’ve really done it now.” Curiosity is piqued as to what “Director Park’s” surprise declaration was that turned the once-peaceful dinner gathering upside down. “Househusband” is a show that captures the real-life household routines of celebrity househusbands. It airs on the 12th at 10:35 p.m.
