The popular Korean variety show ‘Running Man’ is set to air a unique episode where the cast is forced into a complete digital detox. In the upcoming “Time-Stamping Photo Club” race, broadcasting on October 26, 2025, veteran entertainer Yoo Jae-suk steps up to lead his team through a challenging time mission without any modern technology.
A Race Against Time in a Digital Detox
In a recent recording for the SBS program, the ‘Running Man’ members, along with guest Jonathan, were met with an unexpected challenge. Upon their arrival, all time-telling devices, including their mobile phones, smartwatches, and even car navigation systems, were confiscated by the production team. This twist launched them into the “Time-Stamping Photo Club” race, a mission requiring them to arrive at specific locations at precise times to take photos for a conceptual “Photo Biennale.”
The ‘Time-Stamping Photo Club’ Mission
The core of this time mission is precision without tools. Stripped of their digital aids, the members must rely solely on their wits and instincts to navigate the city and estimate the passage of time. The challenge tests their teamwork and problem-solving skills in an environment completely detached from modern convenience, creating a scenario ripe for the show’s signature brand of chaos and comedy.
Yoo Jae-suk: The ‘Human Clock’ and ‘Human Navigation’
Faced with this daunting task, Yoo Jae-suk immediately took on the crucial role of his team’s guide. Earning nicknames like ‘Human Clock’ and ‘Human Navigation,’ he utilized his extensive knowledge and sharp instincts to lead the members. Drawing on his experience, he estimated the time by observing the sun, becoming a ‘Sundial Master’ for his bewildered teammates. His ability to recall directions and navigate without a map also came to the forefront, solidifying his reputation as ‘Yookipedia.’
Can the Cast Complete the Time Mission?
With Yoo Jae-suk at the helm, the team embarks on their difficult journey. However, the pressure of the time mission creates hilarious tension among the members and guest Jonathan, who must quickly adapt to the unpredictable nature of the race. Viewers are left to wonder if the ‘Human Clock’s’ abilities will be enough to lead the team to victory or if the challenge will prove too great for the ‘Running Man’ cast.
Broadcast Details and What to Expect
Fans can tune in to see if the team successfully completes their photo collection. This highly anticipated episode of ‘Running Man’ promises a refreshing and entertaining concept that highlights the resourcefulness of its cast, especially the remarkable skills of Yoo Jae-suk. As one of the longest-running and most beloved Korean variety shows, the program continues to innovate with creative challenges. The episode will air on SBS on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 6:10 PM KST.
