on running boys:

rather than being the one who mind about winning missions, jinsoo is focusing about the way to entertain the viewers. he likes to compete with the others in a fun way despite being the one who throws lame jokes among the others. forgetting about his mucles, jinsoo is short, and thats what makes him looked so weak and betrayable. but then jinsoo is so fast just like flash and athletic so he can easily avoid the chasers. it's very useful during individiual competitions, though he enjoys working on team more because working alone makes him awkward and talking to himself like a stupid guy on camera is just as bad as when the others bullies him because of his height and young-face-but-gramps-personality.
