The 'Running Man' members are cheering for Ji Suk-jin's Entertainment Award win. In a recent episode of SBS's 'Running Man,' the members competed in the 'Year-End Product Raid' race. During this process, the members participated in the 'Running Year-End Hearing' to protect their product badges. The member chosen as the representative was pressured to answer only with "yes/no," which brought laughter. However, this was not a simple hearing but a mission called the 'Behavior Command Checklist,' where members had to predict and guess each other's words and actions.

The first person mentioned in the broadcast was Ji Suk-jin. The members guessed his frequently used phrases and reactions, touching on his 'desire for the grand prize.' When asked if he thought he would be a candidate for the 2025 Entertainment Awards, Ji Suk-jin snapped, "I wasn't nominated." He firmly stated, "I'm not someone who craves the grand prize. I don't cling to it." However, he lightened the mood with the remark, "If they give it to me, I'll accept it," which made everyone laugh.

When Kim Jong-kook asked, "Weren't you upset when I won the grand prize?" Ji Suk-jin emphasized again, "No. I don't crave it excessively." But when Kim Jong-kook said, "I think it's time to give it to you," Ji Suk-jin gave an embarrassed smile, saying, "It's not necessary. It's burdensome." This scene is especially meaningful because the Entertainment Award remains a special pain for Ji Suk-jin.

Ji Suk-jin was mentioned as a strong candidate in 2021 and afterward but did not win the grand prize. Last year, Yoo Jae-suk's win attracted significant attention. At that time, Ji Suk-jin appeared on KBS CoolFM's 'Park Myung-soo's Radio Show' and said, "That day was just filled with entertaining back-and-forth. I was happy for whoever won." He made everyone laugh by recalling how he gave Yoo Jae-suk a rough congratulation, calling him "puppy." Yoo Jae-suk expressed complex feelings in his acceptance speech, saying, "I felt very sorry toward Ji Suk-jin."

Ji Suk-jin has led 'Running Man' for a long time, sharing both the hopes and regrets toward the grand prize. The reactions shown by the members during this 'Running Man' hearing were even more touching. Kim Jong-kook's comment, "It's time to give it to you," is interpreted not as a simple joke but as a sincere encouragement from a colleague.

Ji Suk-jin was actually nominated for the grand prize at the '2025 SBS Entertainment Awards.' The list of grand prize candidates for the '2025 SBS Entertainment Awards' includes strong contenders such as Yoo Jae-suk, Jun Hyun-moo, Tak Jae-hoon, Shin Dong-yup, Lee Sang-min, and Seo Jang-hoon. Viewers continue to support and watch closely to see if the wishes of Ji Suk-jin's colleagues will become reality on stage.

As a long-standing member of 'Running Man,' Ji Suk-jin has been the anchor of the program. Whether he wins the Entertainment Award is a matter of great interest to many fans, and the members' support is a great source of strength for him. The decision on Ji Suk-jin's Entertainment Award win will be made in December. At that time, all eyes will be on what achievements he will accomplish.

This broadcast deeply showed the bond among the members through Ji Suk-jin's personal story. They supported each other's growth and cherished the time spent together. Ji Suk-jin once again reflected on what kind of presence he is within the group.

'Running Man' has established itself as a platform that goes beyond a simple variety show, showcasing genuine friendship and support among the members. Ji Suk-jin's Entertainment Award win is expected to further highlight the meaning of this program. The members support each other's dreams and show growth together.

In this way, 'Running Man' is not just an entertainment program but touches viewers through the true friendship and competition among the members. Ji Suk-jin's Entertainment Award win will be the moment when all his efforts and time spent on 'Running Man' bear fruit. Viewers are cheering for his win and will continue to watch in future broadcasts.
