[The Fact - Reporter Moon Hwa Young] Following last week, Running Man was once again caught up in controversy. This time it's 'swear'.
In the entertainment program "Running Man" (SBS) aired on August 13, the summer vacation episode at the fishing village was drawn. The scene that became the issue was the quarrel between Haha and Yang Se Chan while introducing a picture diary with good points and bad points after finishing the work.
Yang Se Chan read the regrets and said, "In my life, this is the first time I've seen a 'beggar' like this. The mood is so dirty. "Dirty bearded boy" and I read the picture diary towards Haha, then Haha said, "There's no way it's written like this" and the bottom of the screen was captioned "The usual quarrel of 40 people".
After listening to Yang Se Chan's diary, Haha rewrote his diary. He said, "All of us are needy, but we have grown. But Yang Se-chan is a dirty, ugly and evil child. Go away."
Previously, 'Running Man' became the subject of criticism last week for using material containing 'swear'. At that time, Haha's swear words were completely blurred out and treated with "beep".
Besides, shows like Young Cha Shot and Bom Ju made the audience frown. Last week's show recorded the members' live cooking and drinking rice wine. Haha and Yang Se Chan shouted 'Good job' and completed the congratulation when talking about the good wishes learned on YouTube. After that, Yang Se Chan smiled and said to Haha, "Brother, originally only men did it."
This toasting wish imitates the bomb production scene in the movie "Inside Men: The Original" (director Woo Min Ho) premiered in 2015, in which actor Lee Kyung-young conducts nude sex games.
The reason why the same scenes are repeated over and over is controversial is because 'Running Man' is a show intended for 15-year-old viewers but is very popular among elementary school students. Not only that, it is currently being exported to countries around the world such as Thailand, Taiwan, China and Japan, because this is a program that represents K-content, it needs to be paid attention.
