Before
Running Man was created there was a show where you could laugh a lot and relate
to the members. Family Outing was created with the purpose to let a family on
the country side of South Korea a 2 day vacations, so a group of celebrities
gather to take care of the farming work and the house. But it is obvious that
there has to be games involve. The Family members at the first season of the
show (2008-2010) where Yoo Jae Suk (from RM), taking the position of MC on
the show and also being part of mockery around the other members but specially
of Lee Hyo Ri. Hyo Ri was well known for being an ex-member of a very popular
k-pop girl group (Fin.K.L) and then solo artist, getting the title of
"Queen of K-pop". These two members of the family took the title of
the "Nations Siblings" for their extraordinary performance on the
show, and how close they seemed teasing each other as real siblings would do.
To these two we add the incredible "dongsae" or little brother, Kang
Daesung, from the international group sensation Big Bang. Every time
JaeSuk and Daesung got together their personalities came out on
the show as being in complete sink but also silly and dumb, getting the
title of "Dumb and Dumber" by their sibling HyoRi. The other members
that stay till the end of the first season were actor and director Kim Sooro (A
Gentleman's Dignity) and Yoon Jong Shin (singer, composer and TV
personality). Sooro was given the title of "stepmother" since he
scolded and bossed around family member actor Lee Chun Hee, he then passed
to be "Chunderella". Actress Park Ye Jin wow the family members and
the audience by handling well every living creature and cleaning the fish
for the meals. At every episode there was a guest who helped the family
out and also let another side of them shine in front of the camera at the
country side. Lee Chun Hee and Park Ye Jin stay at the show till 2009 and
their lasts episodes were 52 and 53, with this new
family members came along.

A
new member was added to the family since the 19th episode, singer Kim Jong
Kook (Tiger at RM) was part of the family till the end of the first
season. It was Kim Jong Kook's first show after mandatory military
service. Being the new male member of the family made the girls a little
excited and awkward at the beginning, and also the other members try to make a
love line between Jong Kook and the girls. For the 54th
episode the family welcomed new members. Actor Park Hae Jin and
actress/model Park Si Yeon became part of the show, Hae Jin with his fresh
style and good looks did not disappoint the audience when it came to good
entertainment. Even though Si Yeon and Hyo Ri are the same age every time
you saw them together the feeling was completely different, Si
Yeon let the audience watch what a person from the
city that haven't interact with nature would manage
around this kind of habitat.

gave four of the guys chocolates to get the votes she needed to win first place
on the rankings Chun Hee found out that she had more chocolates hidden, with
this a big commotion was made and the members with the exception of Ye Jin
decided to redo the voting. But at the end the winner remain Park Ye Jin
with her chocolate bribery.
The
last award given on the Family Awards was the Most Hateful. The nominees for
the award were all the family members, even though they did everything they
could to bring laughs to the audience sometimes the most hateful part of them
was revealed on the show annoying the other members. But on a poll two of
the members were selected to go face to face for the award, Yoo Jae Suk
and Kim Sooro. The winner was Sooro, it might have being because
of the way he ordered around without working (specially to Chun Hee) or when he
brought up some superiority to the scene when younger actors came to the
show.
For
almost two years the members from Family Outing gave laughter to the
audience and great memories to the families they helped along the way, leaving
behind lots of love and receiving love as well.
