#### 1st Mission: 1 v 9 Challenge

The Running Man members and Go Joo-won were led to believe that the 1 v 9 mission was to make sure Jung Yong-hwa came in last place in a dictation test.

However, Jung Yong-hwa knew about the 1 v 9 mission the Running Man members were doing. Jung Yong-hwa was given a solo mission, where he had to pretend like he didn't notice what was going on and had to get three members to give him the correct answers during the mission.

* **One**: Jung Yong-hwa.
* **Nine**: Yoo Jae-suk, Ji Suk-jin, Kim Jong-kook, Kang Gary, HaHa, Lee Kwang-soo, Song Ji-hyo, Song Joong-ki and Go Joo-won.

#### 2nd Mission: Perform the Band Songs

The Running Man members were divided into three teams. Each team was given a chance to question eleven of the students from the university to determine which ones are actually from the music department, before choosing one to join their team in the mission.

Each team must use the provided instruments to play a song. One team member will have one hundred seconds to guess as many songs correctly as possible. Whichever team guessed the most songs correctly would earn Running Balls.
