"Running Man" Featuring Shim Eun Kyung, The Cutie With The... Complaints?

Shim Eun Kyung made a run into the hearts of many viewers on her appearance on SBS's variety show, "Running Man". She established her character early on, who showed displays of cuteness and outspokenness. Making comments like "This is harder than a track meet" and "Why don't you let me warm up" on camera, her childlike playfulness and cuteness oozed out during the show.

This week's episode of "Running Man", which airs every Sunday on SBS, featured Shim Eun Kyung and CNBLUE as guests. This week's race was "Seoul Tourism".

From the get go, Shim Eun Kyung caught the attention of the viewers. Forming a band with Red team teammates Kim Jong Gook, Lee Kwang Soo, and Song Ji Hyo, she sang "If I Go to L.A." from her new movie, "Miss Granny".

The first mission was to go to Gwang Jang Market, eat the food, and grab the "mission success" card. She walked quietly behind the members, mumbling "I didn't even eat breakfast". She then began to eat like a maniac, chomping down Kim Bap and Odeng. She didn't miss a beat (or bite) while eating her food whether she was in front of hundreds of onlookers or the camera that closely captured her face. It was cute to see her devour food like that.

She began to feel comfortable by the third mission and began to retort and complain about the missions to other members. Playing a game where she had to steal others' props or get hers stolen, she yelled exclamations such as "Why don't you go easy on me? I'm a girl!" and "Don't you care about your image outside of this show?" which brought onlookers to outbursts of laughter.

She even laid flat on the street, lamenting that she had no energy. When Yoo Jae Suk, the MC of the show, asked her about her initial claims to be a good runner, she retorted that it was all caught on camera and that he'll have to see the show to see her run. She also complained that nobody warms up in the show.

She played a big part in the fourth mission when she won a game against the 'weakest member' Ji Suk Jin.

The winner of the race, however, was not Shim Eun Kyung but CNBLUE and the Blue team. She made sure to comment that she had a great, fun-filled day. She also explained her surprise about much of the show being unscripted; she expected to win because she made a guest appearance to promote her movie, but she had to compete hard just to keep up.

Here's hoping to see Shim Eun Kyung and her charms on a different variety show in the near future!
