A new episode of 'Ssul Jeon' aired on December 26 and this time, they talked about variety programs.

Heechul talked about the secret to the successful viewer ratings of MBC's 'Real Men.'  He pointed out how the viewer rating would increase whenever they had a female narrator.  When IU was the narrator, the rating was at an impressive 18.8%. It was 17.4% for Suzy, 17.8% for singer Park Ji Yoon, and 17.5% for Kim Sung Ryul. On the other hand, the show achieved lower ratings of 13.2% when Baek Chul Soo narrated and 12.6% for Kang Suk Woo.

Heechul said, "One ambiguous part is when singer Lee Eun Mi narrated, the show got 14.5%, which is in-between the two extremes.  Maybe because her voice is rough."

Fellow cast member Park Ji Yoon suggested that this disparity may be due in part to 'Real Men' having a dominantly male audience.  

'Ssul Jeon' discusses 'Running Man' + Heechul finds the variety program immature

However, Heo Ji Woong said, "It is difficult for the audience to become immersed in 'Running Man' in the traditional sense."  Park Ji Yoon said, "For some reason, it is too difficult for me to watch them run so diligently."

Heechul likewise added, "Truthfully, when I watch 'Running Man' once in a while, there are a lot of immature moments . . . It makes me go, 'What is that?'  But I see elementary school kids chuckling as they watch it."

Kim Gu Ra said, "Seeing as how 'Running Man' has a solid teenage fandom, it is rather easy for them to get guest appearances . . . Whether they are idols, actors, or sports athletes, those kinds of stars appear because they need to be publicized as trends to those in their teens."
