Preview photos from SBS's "Running Man" were revealed prior to its broadcast on April 12, focusing on the theme of the "Futsal League" episode, along with several big cast turnovers, including Yang Se-chan being injured on set.

The episode is about a competitive "Running Man Cup" futsal match in which cast members play strategically, with unexpected twists and rule changes that change the course of the competition.

TenAsia reports that the released stills sparked online discussions, particularly due to actress Song Ji-hyo's absence from the promotional photos. The images led to more discussion about her performance in recent episodes.

One post going around in fan groups said, "Song Ji-hyo is nowhere to be seen..."

The absence made viewers talk more, and many of them had already expressed concerns about what has been called a "background screen controversy" involving limited screen time and participation.

There was a transition into program details before more reporting from Naver, which covered the main events of the episode and how the game's dynamics changed over time. In the show, you see players dealing with new difficulties because the mystery choice affects the environment of the game.

One description of the production focused on how intense the match was, saying, "Hwasa, who ran with her nose held shut for the sake of victory, and the 'veteran' Ji Seok-jin captivated attention with their unexpectedly stellar performances."

The mood changed abruptly when an injury took place unexpectedly amid increasing rivalry.

"Tension on set reached its peak when an unexpected situation occurred where Yang Se-chan suffered an injury." says the report.

Even though something went wrong, filming went on, and the other actors learned how to adapt to the changing gameplay structure and strategic elements that were added during the match.

Another part of the episode is about humor and changing alliances. It shows how cast members talk to each other about strategies and give each other unexpected advice on how to play the game.

One moment caught on camera showed Haha telling a teammate, "I block everything; the ball just won't go in," in reference to his confidence as a goalkeeper during the game.

In this episode, Kim Jong-kook acts more aggressively than usual, which surprises other cast members and makes the outcome of the match less predictable.

Producers said that the changing strategies and surprise injury make the "Art of Betting: The Gambler's Choice" race even more exciting.

As anticipation builds for the show, the talk of the chaos on the field and concerns regarding the visibility of the cast continue to keep the viewers' interest piqued until it airs.
