1. He turned 46 in February. That makes him younger than Johnny Depp, Nicolas Cage, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, Chris Rock, Robert Downey Jr., and even the guy who plays Charlie Sheen's brother in Two and a Half Men.
2. Korean culture gives elders a lot of leeway over the people younger than them. Your perceived bad treatment of KJK by Suk Jin is no different from KJK bossing around Gary, HaHa and Gwang Soo. Old people playing "the age card" to get their way is common and expected.
3. While their personas are drawn from their real personalities, the fact is that this is Korean VARIETY, which exists on a different level of reality. Their behavior is improvised based on the roles they've carved out for themselves; the members play out their "schtick" for the show, and in Suk Jin's case, at this point in the series, he's portrayed as a somewhat ineffectual elder guy who's a bit jealous that KJK usurped his position as the second most dominant character in the show (the way RM was originally laid out, the intent was that Jae Suk would head up one team while Suk Jin would lead the other).
4. And, most importantly, on shows like RM this is all played for laughs. Outside of their entertainment schtick for the show, the members of Running Man have shown nothing but the utmost respect and even affection for each other. So, eighty episodes later, it might upset your narrow mind to learn that Ji Suk Jin is still around and is actually getting more attention lately as a team with Gwang Soo.

So, to sum up. 1. Elders pushing the younger ones around is part of Korean culture. 2. No-one on the show is taking things seriously and personally. and 3. If you can't deal with it, perhaps it's best that you stop watching Korean entertainment.

Can you differentiate between reality and TV show?

Ji Suk Jin is just playing that character. This is all just for Entertainment. Running Man Members are all colleagues and friends working together on this show.This is like being angry on an actor because he played an evil guy in a movie. Its also not real. Its just his role.

lol.. he didn't left that show only because you don;t like it :P
well if you don;t like him then you can stop watching
agree with snow, it just his character in there... and what he do just for entertainment
well what you said that he lied or anything else.. i see that not only him do that, everyone can do that too
cheating in games for variety show not a big deal, i guess since from FO and now RM they sometimes do cheat and that's all for entertainment

[aniluv]

So much love and so much hate =P

[freestyler87]

LOL.... this guy seems like one of my friend who took everything so serious, bro.. its VARIETY Show.... please find dictionary or google the definition of VARIETY...

[aveyond]

i think he's quite hilarious. but only given if you have some sense of humor, duhhh. its a variety show and its just a game. hes getting funnier now!

[Jeffroro]

Yea, he was funny at first and then he sorta just fell behind the members in terms of screen time.

He's actually pretty funny at first but because of his capability in games, his screentime is limited. So i do hope he gets a tad more screentime each episode. lol

[okazaki]

c'mon, this is just a show, it doesn't mean that in real life he is like that. i like his character much in RM, without this kind of character, RM would be pretty much boring. and if you watch further episodes, you will see that every member of RM would do the same thing, they will cheat on each other in games and missions, of course to entertain us!
my recommendation, you should watch korean shows more and you will understand how it works hehe fighting!
