MBLAQ’s Lee Joon is an ‘entertainer-dol’ on ‘Running Man’

MBLAQ member Lee Joon has impressed viewers with his strong presence as both a talented idol and a hilarious entertainer.

The July 22nd episode of SBS‘ ’Running Man‘ featured special guest MC Jung Jae Hyung, as well as Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk, 2PM‘s Nichkhun, MBLAQ’s Lee Joon, B2ST‘s Doojoon, CNBLUE‘s Yonghwa, T-ara‘s Eunjung, and ZE:A‘s Siwan. For this episode, the ‘Running Man’ cast faced the idol guests in the ‘Running Man Olympics’.

Among the idols, Lee Joon particularly shined with his wild attitude. Not only did he impress with his speed during the race, but he also surprised TV viewers with his midair split while playing volleyball on a trampoline.

Despite Lee Joon’s humorous efforts to soar to higher heights using his flexibility, he continued to miss the ball, leading his team to lose points. Just as cast member Lee Kwangsoo is often regarded as the “hole” in the ‘Running Man’ cast, Lee Joon became the same kind of character for his own team. His ‘springy’ sense of shamelessness, however, seemed to amuse his teammates rather than anger them.

During the bell race, Lee Joon further entertained viewers as he delivered a variety of reactions: being mindful of covering his armpits, posing in a silly fashion, and engaging in a chase with cast member Gary.

In the end, Lee Joon encountered the almighty Kim Jong Kook, aka Sparta Kook, letting out a horrified shriek and ditching his sanity in his panic. Lee Joon’s surprised expression after having suddenly run into ‘the capable one’ of ‘Running Man’ drew out many laughs.

After seeing Lee Joon fumble on the show, viewers commented, “Of course, [it's] Lee Joon. He never lets [people's] expectations down,” “If [ZE:A's] Kwanghee and Lee Joon came out together, I would believe in [their entertaining abilities] and watch,” “I laughed a lot because of Lee Joon’s expressions,” “I knew he was wild. His mind isn’t all there,” “He and Kwanghee are competing as 1st and 2nd place entertainer-dols,” and “Even if he’s not trying to be funny, he’s funny.”

In other news, MBLAQ completed the Seoul concerts of ‘MBLAQ Asia Tour’ on the 22nd and 23rd at the Olympic Hall.

Idol members request gifts from MC Yoo Jae Suk on ‘Running Man’

The ‘nation’s MC’ Yoo Jae Suk has once again experienced a mental breakdown upon hearing idol members’ demands for lavish gifts.

The July 22nd broadcast of SBS‘s ‘Running Man‘ aired a 2012 Olympic special and consisted of idol members competing against the fixed cast members in various games of athletics.

Towards the end of the ‘hide-and-seek’ race, HaHa put Yoo Jae Suk on the spot as he remarked, “[Jae Suk hyung] is really good at buying things for people,” and joked, “He bought IU a car.” On a previous episode of ‘Running Man’, Yoo Jae Suk was put under a sticky situation of possibly having to buy IU a brand new car as a late birthday present.

Upon hearing HaHa’s joke, the idol members were surprised and asked if it was true. Taken aback, Yoo Jae Suk immediately tried to explain himself by saying, “I didn’t buy her…” but was unable to finish his sentence, as it was already too late.

CNBLUE‘s Jung Yonghwa put in his request to the MC saying, “We’ll be moving to our new dorm soon, so could you buy us a new refrigerator?” Following his lead, MBLAQ‘s Lee Joon also pitched in, “I live with my parents, but there hasn’t been any air conditioning in our house for the past 10 years. Please buy us an air conditioning system.”

ZE:A‘s Lim Siwan added to the list, “Our dorm is too small for all of us to live in…” and to this, the Running Man members added, “Oh so you need a house.” And unable to miss this golden opportunity, T-ara‘s Eunjung remarked, “I have been feeling exhausted lately. I think I need a massage chair.”

In the end, Yoo Jae Suk faced Lee Kwang Soo and desperately asked, “Please lend me 200 million won (~$175,000 USD),” causing everyone to burst into laughter.

SHINee talks about sharing concert dates with MBLAQ

They continued, “We invited MBLAQ to our concert, and in return, they invited us to their own. But we discovered that it was being held at the same time as ours, so we were really disappointed.”

Member Jonghyun added, “That’s why we joked amongst ourselves that we should end our concert quickly and go see the MBLAQ concert,” showing just how close the two groups are.

SHINee, currently wrapping up their Seoul concert, will head to Taipei, Singapore, and major cities in Asia to continue their tour.
