Peninsula: I can steal the luck of disgraced celebrities

Chapter 101 Eight against four, the advantage is mine

At 7:30 a.m. on the day of the recording, before Lin Chih-hsun's alarm clock went off, Suzy's phone rang first.

"Are you up?"

"I'm not awake, I'm talking in my sleep." Lin Zhixun's voice was nasal.

"Stop being silly. We're leaving at 7:40. I'll wait for you downstairs. If you're late, I'll walk alone."

Suzy hung up the phone.

Lin Zhixun rolled over, lay in bed for three seconds, and then resignedly got up to wash up.

Last night, after Suzy pinched a piece of his waist, he carefully examined it in the room arranged by the production team and found that the skin had turned blue.

The woman's strength in her hands didn't match her face at all.

At 8:00 AM sharp, Lim Ji-hoon and Suzy appeared at the entrance of the SBS building.

The production crew's bread truck was already parked on the side of the road, with the door open.

Yoona and Soon-kyu arrived earlier than them. Yoona leaned against the car window with her eyes closed, resting, while Soon-kyu ate a sandwich next to her.

"Here I am, here I am." Lee Soon-kyu greeted him indistinctly, with something in his mouth.

Lim Ji-hoon got on the car and sat in the second row. Suzy followed him in and sat next to him.

"Want some sandwiches? I bought a few extra." Lee Soon-kyu handed over a bag.

"Thank you, senior." Suzy took one, unwrapped it, and took a bite.

Lin Chih-hsun also got one. It's tuna flavored, a standard convenience store item.

The van started and drove into the streets of Seoul in the early morning.

No one spoke on the bus; it was quiet for about five minutes.

Yoona suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at Ji-hoon.

Why didn't you accept my friend request last night?

With a sandwich in his mouth and without looking up, Lin Zhixun replied, "Are you sure that's your account?"

'

I think so.

"Then do you dare to swear an oath to the Han River?"

'

Im Yoona didn't answer, but Lee Soon-kyu chimed in, "What, are you bullying my brand?"

After saying that, Lim Soon-kyu hugged Lim Yoon-a and comforted her, "If he doesn't want to join, he doesn't have to. We Girls' Generation members won't let ourselves be bullied!"

Yoona also faked crying.

Lin Zhixun could only look at the last person in the car, "Sooji, the senior from Girls' Generation bullied me because of her seniority. You be the judge."

Suzy blinked innocently, "Ji-hoon, we're eating Sun-kyu's sandwich, at least let me finish eating before you speak up for me."

"Hahaha."

Both Yoona and Soonkyu were amused by Suzy's words.

"Okay, okay, okay." Lin Zhixun took out his phone and accepted the friend request from the stranger from yesterday.

Then, turning the phone screen towards Yoona, he said, "Is this okay?"

"That's more like it." Lim Yoona smiled.

The van arrived at the recording location forty minutes later—the playground of an abandoned school in Seoul.

Lin Chih-hsun jumped out of the car and saw several large cameras set up on the edge of the playground, followed by various props and obstacles on the track.

In the center of the playground stood a huge backdrop, pink with the words "Valentine's Day Special" written in Korean, and several hearts drawn next to it.

"This color scheme is a bit too much for my eyes," Lin Zhixun muttered under his breath.

Suzy glanced at him. "Don't say that during the recording."

"It's okay, you can cut it off if you tell me."

"What if the production team deliberately doesn't cut it?"

"Wouldn't that be even better? It would increase viewership for our production team."

The two walked towards the meeting point, where most of the Running Man cast members had already arrived.

Yoo Jae-suk stood in the middle, with Ji Suk-jin and Haha next to him. Kim Jong-kook was doing stretching exercises in the corner, and Gary was sitting on the steps playing on his phone.

Song Ji-hyo and Lee Kwang-soo haven't arrived yet.

Song Joong-ki was also there, wearing the same sports jacket as the show's cast. He walked over when he saw Lin Ji-hoon.

"Brother." Song Joong-ki reached out and gave him a high five.

"Long time no see." Lin Zhixun looked him over.

"Hey, Ji-hoon hyung, long time no see," Song Joong-ki said with a smile. "Why didn't you come to the KBS Drama Awards last year, hyung?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixun looked embarrassed and replied, "Weren't we filming at the time? You know me, I'm always very busy. You should learn more from me."

"Yes!" Song Joong-ki looked enlightened. "I rested for half a month after filming wrapped before taking on 'Running Man'."

"Man" was indeed less dedicated than Ji-hoon's performance.

"Good to know."

The real reason Lin Zhixun didn't go was that he and Song Joong-ki were nominated for the Best Couple Award.

When he found out about this, he wanted to grab a kitchen knife and chop the screenwriter up.

Lim Ji-hoon and Song Joong-ki reminisced and chatted, while Bae Suzy chatted with two members of Girls' Generation.

Not long after, Song Ji-hyo and Lee Kwang-soo arrived.

Once everyone was present, filming officially began.

When Yoo Jae-suk stood in front of the camera and shouted "Running Man, start!", he instantly switched into work mode, and his eyes, body language, and rhythm all changed.

"Dear viewers, today is a Valentine's Day special! We have invited four very, very outstanding guests—"

'

Lim Ji-hoon and Suzy walked out according to their pre-arranged positions.

"Go Hye-mi! Bae Suzy!" Yoo Jae-suk stepped forward.

Suzy bowed slightly, revealing her signature "flirting smile" in front of the camera.

The upper gums are slightly exposed, while the lower teeth are closed, with the curvature precise to the millimeter.

"And there's our Song Sen Dong—Lin Zhixun XI!"

Lin Chih-hsun also waved and walked out.

Nowadays, the three major broadcasting stations in South Korea are all relatively conservative.

When promoting "Dream High" on SBS variety shows, they usually only mention "new drama" and the character names, rather than directly calling out the drama title.

Then came the appearance of Im Yoon-ah and Lee Soon-kyu.

The Yoona in front of the camera is completely different from the one we saw yesterday.

She wore no makeup, her hair cascaded down her shoulders like silk, and a perfect smile graced her lips.

This is how idols operate.

Lin Zhixun heard from Sulli that Yoona was always the last to leave the practice room, just to repeatedly adjust that "0.1 millimeter smile curve" in front of the mirror.

Don't know if it's true or not.

After the introductions were finished, the crew members began to announce the rules.

"Today we're divided into two groups, one for boys and one for girls."

The moment the words "male and female teams" were mentioned, some boys were already laughing.

The reason is simple—

The eight members of the boys' team are: Yoo Jae-suk, Kim Jong-kook, Ji Suk-jin, Haha, Gary, Song Joong-ki, Lim Ji-hoon, and Lee Kwang-soo.

The girls' team consists of four members: Song Ji-hyo, Bae Suzy, Lim Yoon-ah, and Lee Soon-kyu.

Eight against four.

"Is this fair?" Lee Soon-kyu raised his hand on the spot.

"Our tasks will be adjusted according to the number of participants, ensuring absolute fairness."

"Isn't this a Valentine's Day special? What does this have to do with Valentine's Day?" Song Ji-hyo was the second to object.

"This production team reserves the right of sole interpretation."

"Aigoo!" Im Yoona looked at Im Ji-hoon, "Im Ji-hoon! You're not a member of the crew, you just found out the rules like us."

"Why are you keeping replying? It's not like I'm asking you a question!"

Lin Zhixun shamelessly explained, "I was just trying to be helpful!"

"Yes, Yoona-ssi," Haha said with a serious expression, putting his arm around Ji-hoon's shoulder. "Ji-hoon-ssi meant well."

""

"But that's really not fair," Gary finally spoke up, one of the boys standing up.
