SBS's 'Running Man' urged its viewers to vote in the upcoming South Korean presidential elections.
This episode's theme centered on deciding the true King of 'Running Man', where the first King would be the cast member who had finished all of the previous mini-missions in the lead. The final mission revolved around a voting system, where the rest of the cast would be able to find ballots scattered throughout the mission area and change the King once and for all, with the final King that remained being crowned the winner. As the clock ticked down, the final minutes showed a veritable Ferris Wheel of successions, with a series of 'Kings' ascending the throne - only to be deposed minutes later.
As the episode theme comes on the heels of the upcoming South Korean presidential elections (between Park Geun Hye and Moon Jae In), viewers were able to easily connect the theme of the 'Running Man' episode to current events.
"This is what it means for a variety to have real-world impact," a viewer praised. "Let's all go vote."
