Cho Jin-woong in Epic Show, Running Man
In Episode 217 of Running Man, Cho Jin-woong appeared as one of the guests among two others. What makes this episode entertaining is when the fixed members of the Running Man team, such as, Kwang-soo, Ji-hyo, Gary, and Jae-suk, got some schooling from Cho Jin-woong. Especially when Kwang-soo was being a traitor again, Cho Jin-woong taught him with no hesitation. Because of this, Lee Kwang-soo aired out his frustration on their guest and said, “Is he some kind of teacher?” and made everyone laugh.
