The popular traditional game of 'ddakji' returned bigger, better and louder than ever on the latest episode of 'Running Man'!

Each cast member spread out across the country to visit universities nationwide and seek out the best ddakji players in the nation. Returning with their team plus a group of supporters, they were shocked at the scale of the event - a massive, custom-built ring where they could decide upon the newest ddakji champion!

With a special appearance by A Pink, the cast and students kicked off the 2014 nationwide ddakji championships. Although Kim Jong Kook and his team of athletic students were tapped as one of the most likely winners, they were in for a stunning upset as Ji Suk Jin and his ragtag team pulled off one of the most unlikely turnarounds in the show's history!

Coming back from a 2-0 loss, Ji Suk Jin miraculously pulled off a win versus the 'tiger' Kim Jong Kook, giving him the final victory amid confetti and wild celebration.
