Lee Hyun-jung and Kim Min-jong Challenge SBS Running Man Course
Basketball national team member Lee Hyun-jung and judo athlete Kim Min-jong appeared as guests on the SBS variety program Running Man, participating in a series of sports-based speed challenges, famtimes.co.kr reported. The broadcast featured the two elite athletes competing across athletic disciplines designed for the variety show format.
Half-Court Shots and Trivia on the Basketball Court
The program structured its initial segment around a basketball match where players who successfully scored earned the right to answer trivia questions to secure points. Lee faced a specialized rule requiring him to sink a shot from beyond the half-court line and answer correctly to claim five points, adding heightened pressure to the sequence. During the broadcast, Lee recalled his academic background from middle school, noting a past ranking of eighth in his entire school. The questionnaire featured diverse topics, including snake bridges, truffles, Mont Blanc, and personal transformations, while Kim actively participated in advancing the basketball drills.
Kim Sprints Through Rubber Bands to Retrieve Items
Following the basketball segment, the cast and guests transitioned to a speed task that required participants to move through tightly stretched rubber bands to retrieve items placed on the opposite side. Kim registered a rapid sprint across the barrier to secure the objects. Fellow cast members reacted with astonishment to Kim’s pace and determination, describing his movement through the obstacle with a comparison to a dump truck.
Professional Backgrounds Inform Variety Show Task Completion
Lee brought experience from the Japanese professional basketball leagues alongside his national team credentials into the studio challenge, drawing attention from the cast regarding both his athletic capabilities and variety timing. Kim contributed comedic relief and sharp reactions throughout the challenges. Both athletes integrated with the regular Running Man cast members to complete the diverse lineup of tasks before concluding the broadcast event.
