We’ve reached SBS! 💛💙 #PHLovesLeeKwangSoo #PrinceofAsiainEDSA #ThankYouLeeKwangSoo - Running Man PH 🇵🇭 May 26, 2021 The South Korean variety show demonstrated the same level of traction in Manila as tickets to the Philippine leg of their 2019 Asia fanmeet tour (cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic) sold out in mere minutes. With its global success, “Running Man” has welcomed appearances from Hollywood actors like Jackie Chan (episode 135), Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Henry Cavill (episode 410), and Ryan Reynolds (episode 482) during their visits to Korea.
#ONECAST ERROR 8012 TV#
By 2016, it earned the title of the top non-American show in the world with 2.4 million demand expressions (number of people expressing interest for a TV show to be shown on their available channels) a day. Its popularity extended beyond its local borders as the number of fans around the world grew rapidly. While the premise and format of the show stays simple, the reality-variety show’s ability to make people laugh stood the test of time as it remains to be one of the oldest Korean variety shows remaining on-air. Since then, other guest-turned-members actress Jeon So-Min and comedian Yang Se-Chan have joined what is now known as Running Man’s 8012 - an emblem for the show’s octet combined with Korean homophone “012,” which also means “forever.” After School’s Lizzy also briefly joined the early episodes of “Running Man” as a regular for around 10 episodes. Actress Song Ji-Hyo, the sole female member for nearly seven years, was drafted as a permanent cast member after her initial guesting in the first few episodes. The rest of the pioneering cast who stayed includes National MC Yoo Jae-Suk, comedian Ji Suk-Jin, award-winning singer Kim Jong-Kook, actor Lee Kwang Soo, and all-around entertainer Ha Dong-Hoon. When the show first aired in 2010, the original cast was an all-male team of seven - including the likes of actor Song Joong-Ki (left after episode 41), and rapper Kang Gary (left after episode 324). For the most part, the cast carried out these missions within South Korea but they’ve since traveled around Europe, Oceania, and Asia in their tearable nametags to perform more dangerous missions (riding the Nevis Swing, the world’s biggest swing, upside down and going wing walking at 120 km/ph). "Running Man" is a K-Variety show where a group of entertainers (comedians, actors, and singers) complete missions to win prizes and avoid penalties. Finally, I grabbed a chair, joined her, and pointed to the one I found the funniest so far standing at six feet tall with unusual bowl-cut hair whom I later identified as the actor Lee Kwang Soo. I lurked around my mother for another 30 minutes and laughed at the same times she did. I remember thinking the show was a bit odd yet I couldn’t find it in me to turn away.
