Robert Pattinson Meets ‘Running Man’ Cast as Servants, Yoo Jae-suk & Ji Ye-eun in Tears

The February 9 episode of SBS’s “Running Man” will take viewers on a unique adventure as the cast, transformed into servants, embark on a chaotic errand-filled journey across Seoul.

Chaotic Quest Leads to Robert Pattinson Encounter

Tasked with visiting locations assigned by their master, the members must complete various missions to secure their return home. The final errand’s hint was entrusted to “Painter Yoo” Yoo Jae-suk, infamous for his poor drawing skills. Nervous yet determined, he attempted a portrait, leaving the team struggling to identify their target based solely on his crude sketch.

As they scoured the city for clues, the cast had an unexpected encounter with Hollywood actor Robert Pattinson. After enduring numerous challenges, they finally arrived at their last destination, where rising star Ji Ye-eun and grand prize winner Yoo Jae-suk were seen wiping away tears. The reason for their emotional moment will be revealed in the broadcast.

Meanwhile, a lunchtime skipping rope mission turned into a Squid Game-style survival match. Initially thrilled at the chance to enjoy ox bone soup, the cast soon battled hunger and dizziness. As players were eliminated one by one, only the final survivor earned the coveted meal. Who will claim victory?

Robert Pattinson’s Korea Visit Sparks Unexpected Buzz

Interestingly, prior to this, Robert Pattinson’s movements in Korea had already sparked curiosity. On January 20, he attended a Mickey 17 screening and press conference at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall before being spotted touring Seochon. A reader from The Fact captured him walking around the area with a drink in hand.

Coincidentally, the Running Man cast and crew were also filming nearby, leading to speculation about his possible appearance on the show. However, The Fact confirmed that Robert Pattinson did not officially take part. SBS clarified, “There was no official guest for today’s recording. As far as we know, Robert Pattinson just happened to pass by.”

Despite this, fans remain eager to see whether Pattinson might have inadvertently made a cameo during the episode.

This visit marks Robert Pattinson’s first-ever trip to Korea. During the earlier press conference, he shared, “I was surprised to realize that I’d never been to Korea before. Given my previous promotional activities, I thought I might have already visited, but this is my first time. I’ve always wanted to meet Korean audiences.”

Starting with this event, Pattinson will also meet fans directly through stage greetings for “Mickey 17” in Korea.

As the first project by director Bong Joon-ho since “Parasite”, “Mickey 17”, featuring Robert Pattinson, has generated significant buzz. The film is set for its premiere in Korea on February 28, followed by a worldwide release on March 7.
