[PC] RUNNING MAN CAST CALLED OUT FOR EXCESSIVE TEASING OF JI SEOKJIN, ACCUSED OF BULLYING

source: [theqoo] 'RUNNING MAN', EXCESSIVE TEASING OF JI SEOKJIN... NO DIFFERENT THAN BULLYING

"Hyung, just stay still"

The members of 'Running Man' continue to make fun of Ji Seokjin, and the viewers are expressing discontentment.

Quote

In SBS 'Running Man', which aired on the 13th, a race was held all over Seoul which entailed looking at a paper map without a navigation system. Yoo Jae-suk, who was in charge of driving that day, said, "In Seoul, just trust me only" and showed confidence in finding his way. Ji Seokjin was seated in the passenger seat.

Even in gags, there is definitely a line. 'Running Man' seems to have to rethink how to make viewers smile.

original post: here

1. It was indeed a bit severe... I feel like this has crossed the line of being "fun"

2. I was so uncomfortable the whole time watching this

3. I feel like the members can joke around each other in healthy ways now but they always cross the line with his character. I think that both Yoo Jae-suk and the PDs have to rethink this

4. I don't watch anything with Yoo Jae-suk inside

5. Yoo Jae-suk was too much. It's because he's Yoo Jae-suk that no one was saying anything

6. It's totally understandable why the Sunday broadcast is causing an uproarㅎㅎ I watched it and they were being way too much

7. It's to the point that no one has ever pointed out anything because he's Yoo Jae-suk... But this was really severe... I get that they are close with Ji Seokjin and that's his concept but he crosses the line in some instances

8. But didn't Ji Seokjin hit big on Running Man because of this concept??? Then if not because of this, who would even find him funny?ㅋㅋ
> What's the correlation here?

9. This has been brought up for years so I hope they can give us some kind of feedback already. All the popular variety shows have this kind of concept

10. It's because they act like this that even the guests act like this towards Ji Seokjin

11. Even if this is a concept, they should do it in moderation. It's been so long since they've been crossing the line. As a viewer, it makes me so uncomfortable

12. I think that this is straight up bullying. The bullying was the cruelest during my elementary school and when I watch Running Man, it's almost of the same level
