Running man

Updated stats

Yoo Jae Suk (Nation's MC)
Offense: 7
Defense: 10
Intelligence: 8
PD's Valuation: 15000
The only person that stands on even footing with the Commander, and yet if he goes up one on one against the commander, he is guaranteed to lose 10 times out of 10. However, there is no other member who can defeat him in a one on one. Therefore, the nation's MC deserves the second highest valuation.
My Valuation: 15000


Kim Jong Kook (Sparta)
Offense: 10
Defense: 7
Intelligence: 10
PD's Valuation:  25000
The Commander is the only one capable of taking the other members two on one. Therefore, giving him a valuation of double an average player like Ha Ha is accurate. The only reason why i rated his defense as a 7 instead of a 10 is due to his tendency to trust people who usually end up betraying him. When Jong Kook is sure he has no allies, like in the 1v7 situations, he is literally impossible to oust, due to his amazing reflexes. You literally had to pull off his nametag in 1 second as he spins around the moment he feels your hand.
My Valuation: 25000

Song Ji Hyo (Ace)
Offense: 7
Defense: 3
Intelligence: 10
PD's Valuation:  23000 
My opinion: Song Ji Hyo is without a doubt, one of the strongest running man in the squad, with the most trophies won individually due to her competitiveness and cunning. However, giving her a price tag that close to Kim Jong Kook is unrealistic. Her actual valuation should be similar to Yoo Jae Suk.
My Valuation: 14000

Gary (Monday Boyfriend)
Offense: 5
Defense: 3
Intelligence: 1
PD's Valuation:  8000 
My opinion: Gary, while possessing decent strength and speed, has no inkling of how to win. Despite this, he is a decent teammate to have as he possesses two of the best trophies amongst all the running man members: the title of the strongest. However, ever since the monday couple broke up, Gary has lost his desire to win and now the only person he is stronger than is Suk Jin. Therefore, this valuation is accurate.
My Valuation: 9000
Edit after recent episodes: 
Gary (Revived Monday Boyfriend)
Offense: 6
Defense: 8
Intelligence: 1
PD's Valuation:  8000 
My opinion: Gary has revived ever since the monday couple was revived on the show. He now lives up to his true potential. While still lacking in intelligence, his agility and speed are unquestionably one of the best, along with his talents which earned him the nickname: sudden commander. In the most exciting nametag fight of all time, gary managed to fight off two very strong guests on his own. 
My Valuation: 12000

Lee Kwang Su (Icon of betrayal)
Offense: 7
Defense: 1
Intelligence: 3
PD's Valuation: 5000
My Opinion: Kwang Soo has improved greatly and his only weakness now is his defence; due to his lack of awareness, he can be removed very easily.  However, he has decent strength and is extremely well-versed at removing name tags as well as one-on-one battles. Kwang Soo has removed the most name tags of people who were much stronger than him, and he even managed to defeat Kim Jong Kook once in a one on one before, due to his ultimate advantage of his long arms. Kwang Soo is extremely inconsistent, but he has shown his full potential in his new technique of holding his rival off with one arm while his other arm snakes behind their back. The only member that can take on Kim Jong Kook in a one-on-one, valuing him as the weakest member is extremely unfair, especially since he has proven he can defeat Suk Jin easily in a one-on-one. He has also claimed the scalp of Ha Ha in a one on one. Kwang Soo has also proven himself to have a high intellect, although he is usually unable to control his actions and makes his moves instinctively instead of intellectually. Unfortunately for him, Kwang Soo is cursed with horrible luck so his  instinctively moves usually turn out to be the wrong move, thus his low intelligence rating. 
My Valuation: 12000
Edit after one of the later episodes:
Lee Kwang Su (Icon of betrayal)
Offense: 7
Defense: 1
Intelligence: 7
PD's Valuation: 5000
My Opinion: Kwang soo still acts instinctively, but his intelligence has increased significantly and he is capable of tricky moves which require a sharp mind. In one of the games, although he was ridiculously outnumbered and had no chance in a straight fight (vs kim jong kook and ji suk jin), he tricked them by using a valuable piece of information to buy himself temporary invulnerability. However, kim jong kook is still hard to oust and thus he tricked him by getting Kim jong kook to hold a briefcase with two hands and went for his tag immediately. Nobody would instinctively drop the item they are holding as it is human nature to ensure the item u are holding doesn't get dropped first. Imo, pure genius. LKS increases to SJH level for me.
My Valuation: 14000


Ji Suk Jin (Big nose hyung)
Offense: 1
Defense: 1
Intelligence: 3
PD's Valuation: 6000
My Opinion: Suk Jin is the weakest member in the group for a reason; he is unable to beat anyone in one-on-one and he has no competitive fire in him. In fact, given a choice, I wouldn't take him for free! It would be more fun to do it myself.
My Valuation: 1000

Ha Ha (Playboy)
Offense: 5
Defense: 3
Intelligence: 8
PD's Valuation: 12000
Ha Ha is definitely the most average player in the running man team. Giving him a value of 12000 is perfect.
My Valuation: 12000
