S1·E482 Ghost Hunter Race

Episode recap

The episode identified as Season 1, Episode 482 of the South Korean variety series Running Man carries the subtitle “Ghost Hunter Race.” According to the official synopsis, the program invited three Hollywood actors—Ryan Reynolds, Mélanie Laurent and Adria Arjona—to appear as guests in order to promote their newly released film 6 Underground. The three visitors participated directly in the show’s customary competitive format, selecting three regular members of the Running Man cast to form one team. The remaining cast members comprised the opposing side, creating a split‑team arrangement that is a recurring element of the series.

Running Man is described as a comedy‑reality program in which its participants must complete a series of games and missions, competing for a prize while avoiding elimination. In this particular installment, the presence of the international guests added a cross‑cultural dimension, with the synopsis noting that the Hollywood stars “mingle Korean style.” This phrasing indicates that the episode emphasized interaction between the guests and the Korean cast, allowing the visitors to experience the show’s typical challenges within a Korean entertainment context.

The episode’s structure therefore followed the established pattern of the series: the two teams—one led by the three movie‑promoting guests and their selected Running Man members, the other consisting of the remaining cast—engaged in a series of tasks designed to test teamwork, speed and strategy. Throughout the broadcast, the guests promoted 6 Underground while simultaneously taking part in the competitive activities that define the program. The combination of promotional appearances and the show’s signature game‑based format provided viewers with a blend of celebrity interaction and the familiar variety‑show challenges that have characterized Running Man since its debut. No additional plot details, specific games, or outcomes are supplied beyond the information that the three Hollywood actors joined the cast, chose teammates, and competed against the rest of the group in a Korean‑styled setting.
