Choi Daniel made his long-awaited debut as the newest temporary member on SBS’s Running Man, and his eccentric presence quickly became a hot topic.

On the April 6th episode, the cast was divided into small groups before the race began. When asked if they knew what day it was, Yoo Jae Suk jokingly replied, “Yeah, it’s a high fine dust day,” drawing laughter from the crew.

The day marked Choi Daniel’s first appearance as a special guest member, and producers introduced a clever pre-race mission: get Choi to work on time without giving any direct instructions or letting him catch on. If the cast succeeded in doing this naturally, their team would earn a larger budget.

However, confidence was low from the get-go. “We already failed,” the members sighed. Yoo Jae Suk bluntly added, “This guy’s a total weirdo — he’s not a normal person,” forecasting a chaotic challenge ahead.

As predicted, Choi Daniel made a bold and quirky first impression with his unique look and offbeat energy, immediately setting himself apart from the rest. His unpredictable personality left viewers curious — and excited — to see how he’ll shake things up in future episodes.
