"Running Man's" Last Mission for Lee Kwang Soo: "My Special Brother"
Episode 559 began by sharing all the precious memories of Lee Kwang Soo in the show. The "Entourage" star was with the "Running Man" team for almost 11 years, and as a tribute to him, the production made a special event for the precious member.
As it serves as his last episode, the "Running Man" team asked Lee Kwang Soo all the things he wanted to do on his last day of the shoot. Lee Kwang Soo chose all the things his members liked, as being with them is already special.
"My Special Brother" race was prepared by the team as the members' last mission with Lee Kwang Soo. The show invited a professional judge to give the right sanctions for all the uneven things that Lee Kwang Soo committed in the past years of doing various games.
In participation of the other members, they were tasked to do a secret mission where whoever had the highest numbers of photos with Lee Kwang Soo would get the same gifts from the production.
The race went extra special because each and everyone has to do their missions. Plus, Yoo Jae Suk, Seok Jin, Kim Jong Kook, HaHa, Song Ji Hyo, Jeon So Min, and Yang Se Chan were all clingy to Lee Kwang Soo, which added more fun and chaos during the race.
As they went to the next location then to another, new precious moments were made. Even the "Running Man" producer Choi Bo Pil got teary-eyed while in the middle of filming the show.
