I flew to Seoul on April Fool's Day, which was pretty ironic, if you ask me. What if upon reaching SBS, I realised that it was all a joke? "Ashlyn-ssi, this is an April Fool's joke." I would probably die of heart attack on the spot.

I had never been to the actual SBS building. The last time it had been MBS. There were three big stations in Seoul - KBS, MBS and SBS. Each produced their own sets of dramas and TV programmes. For example, the famous variety show - Running Man, was part of SBS.

I reported myself to the reception which directed me up to the eighth floor. I thanked her profusely. I came dressed in a smart black simple dress and black stockings, enough to impress but not overly dramatic.

The lobby on the ground floor was crowded with people and there was a cafeteria which added on to the crowd. There was a small crowd of people at the centre of the lobby floor with, well, one of the most alarming numbers of camera-men I had ever seen. It seemed like they were filming a variety show. Out of curiosity, I decided to take a closer look. To my excitement, I recognised the familiar hosts of the all-time favourite variety show - Running Man! There was Ji Suk-jin the Impala; Gary looked pretty lost himself and the famous Sparta Kook - Kim Jong Kook. Wow, he looked so fit and big. Everybody who watched that programme knew he was not one to be triffled with. Sadly, I had to pull myself away since I was going to be late for my appointment. I hoped I would see the rest of them elsewhere in the building. I love Song Ji-hyo! She's so pretty!

There wasn't much excitement upstairs. Coming to level eight, it was your plain boring office environment where everybody was buried in work, noses in front of their computer screens. After reconfirming my bearings, I was led to the meeting room by the receptionist. She sat me in the room and offered me a glass of water.

I was just checking out the good view from the building when I heard a commotion outside the meeting room. Somebody was talking rather loudly. And it seemed like he was approaching this room which I was in. I shuddered. I hoped it wasn't some fierce loud-speaking manager meeting me...

The door burst open and to my surprise, it was none other than the outstanding TV host of Running Man - Yoo Jaesuk! I gasped in surprise.

He gasped as well. Or rather, he jumped too.

"Ohmo!" he exclaimed. "I'm so sorry! I didn't know there was somebody in here!" Following behind him was a cameraman. He, too, was also sort of famous, thanks to his host. I saw that he had his camera trained on me for a moment.

"It's okay...," I bowed slightly.

"Oh!" Jaesuk exclaimed once again. "Are you by any chance, a foreigner?" he asked excitedly.

"Eh... yes..." I replied slowly, wondering what he was up to. Running man always had weird missions on hand.
