Beloved Korean actor and comedian Lee Kwang-soo admitted that he thinks he’s just as popular as “Descendants of the Sun” star Song Joong-ki, in the latest episode of Running Man.

Kwang-soo was under a lie detector test as a mission in the show, and passed the test when he gave his admission that he sees himself to be as popular as Joong-ki.

The Running Man cast were on an MT (membership training) in Pyeongchang as requested by Song Jihyo for the first part of their “Member’s Week” special.

The members dreaded the last challenge, a bath purification in the Ice Valley, during winter. They had to pass challenges like the lie detector test, herding ship within two minutes, and eating with giant chopsticks for them to be exempted from the ice bath.
