S1·E135 Treasure Hunter

Episode recap

Running Man season 1, episode 135, titled “Treasure Hunter,” aired as part of the long‑running South Korean variety series that first broadcast in 2010. The program is described as a comedy‑reality show in which its regular cast members compete in a series of games and missions. In this installment the episode’s central premise revolves around a treasure‑hunting competition. International action star Jackie Chan traveled from China to appear as a special guest, joining regular cast members and fellow guest Siwon of the K‑pop group Super Junior.

The episode’s setting was the Kwanghee Fashion Mall located in Sindang‑dong, Jung District, Seoul. Within this venue the participants were divided into multiple teams and tasked with completing a variety of missions. Successful completion of each mission awarded the team a dart, which served as the episode’s primary currency for advancement. The accumulation of darts determined which contestants would qualify for the final stage of the competition.

The concluding segment of the episode centered on a dart‑throwing challenge. All teams that had earned darts entered a final arena where each contestant attempted to throw a dart into a designated golden zone. According to the episode synopsis, the individual who succeeded in landing a dart within this golden zone was declared the winner of the treasure‑hunting contest and earned the gold prize.

The structure of the episode therefore followed the series’ typical format: a special guest appearance, division of the cast into competing teams, a series of mission‑based tasks that yielded tangible rewards—in this case darts—and a decisive final game that resolved the competition. Jackie Chan’s participation added an international dimension to the episode, while Siwon’s involvement continued the show’s practice of featuring K‑pop idols as guests. The episode combined the series’ hallmark blend of physical challenges, teamwork, and comedic interaction, culminating in a single contestant securing victory by successfully throwing a dart into the golden zone.
