The name-tag is considered as Running Man's "symbol".

## Types of Name-tags

Throughout the years, there have been several permutations of the name-tag. The classic version is a medium-sized rectangular name-tag. Smaller name-tags have also been applied beneath the classic version to either hide a secret status such as someone who is a spy or someone who has secretly acquired multiple name-tags which is usually equivalent to multiple lives. Smaller tags under the name tags have also been used to provide clues to members who have ousted another person.

Other permutations include over-sized name-tags that can be easily removed and are usually used as a punishment, smaller name-tags that is difficult to remove and is usually given as a reward, name-tags with wings, name-tags with tails, etc.

## Trivia

* As the name tag is handsewn and costs $70-$75 each, the members often reuse their name tags.
* The guests are able to have their name-tags as a souvenir.
* Gary has two different styles of name tag, "개리" and "GARY".
* Kang Gary and Lee Kwang-soo were given a gold name plate designed as a name tag on their last episode (2020).
Plot

One month and five days ago, the first appearance of the *things* brought terror upon the civilians. Many fled the town in hopes to save their lives while others were forced into quarantine. The *things* became known as Residents, as they seemingly took over the city during the night, as if they truly lived there. The lanky creatures have no origin known to those encountering it, although it means nothing to them now; all that matters is survival in the twisted world forced into a cage. Police forces don't dare to cross the Residents in a frontal assault; the last hadn't ended in their favor, leaving half of the force wiped. Officers weren't called in and many tried to step down from their duties, often leading to escape attempts and suicide. Rumor holds it that the Residents are truly just humans in a further evolution, but no one in their right minds cared to believe it. There was no plausible way the two species are connected... This is where our story begins. Those who dare step out at night face the risk of dying in an instant; the creeping stalkers hold their poise and keen abilities to their advantage as they ravage the unsuspected. However, it is heard that a group of students dares try to step out at night in a mass... Who in their right mind would do such a thing?

Their love line ended when Haha got married to Byul. After his marriage, the two would often make each other remember their previous love line.

After Gary left Running Man, Jihyo would often choose Haha as her partner during couple games, claiming that, "Haha is mine! Byul-ah, I would take care of him!".
