The nation's MC has recently been put under a sticky situation where he may have to buy IU a brand new car as a late birthday present.

The May 27th episode of SBS's 'Running Man' consisted of IU and Park Ji Sung as guests for a "super-power" soccer competition and a race in Incheon.

After successfully completing a soccer match, the cast members headed for breakfast at a sushi restaurant. As they waited for their order to arrive, HaHa jokingly recommended Yoo Jae Suk buy IU a car saying, "It was IU's birthday not too long ago and I heard she'll be getting her driver's license soon. Hyung (Yoo Jae Suk), I think it'll be perfect if you bought her a car."

Flustered, Yoo Jae Suk replied, "Alright, let's buy her a car then! Let's each pitch in 10 million won (approximately $8,440.24 USD)!" However, IU later surprised the MC by saying, "Oppa, I'll enjoy my new car."

When asked what present the Manchester United midfielder would be giving, Park Ji Sung answered, "I'll buy her a seat cover for the new car," causing everyone to laugh out loud. Big nosed hyung Ji Suk Jin also added, "If Jae Suk buys you a car, I'll tint the car for you."

Netizens left comments such as, "Our IU needs a car", "Poor Yoo Jae Suk", "I want to ride in the car IU drives", and "It was hilarious seeing Yoo Jae Suk being taken aback."
