But over time, Running Man began to change the concept of the program by prioritizing daily activities, light play, the lives of the stars and the participation of star families. The substitution player ensued. In 2012, Running Man had to lose Song Joong-ki who opted out due to shooting schedule problems. The program then continued with seven members. In 2016, Running Man had to lose another member, Kang Gary. The member who became a couple with Song Ji-hyo, known as the Monday Couple, chose to focus on his career as a singer. Running Man started to ‘rebuild’ public trust by including Jeon So-min and Yang Se-chan as new members in April 2017. In this article, Channel-Korea will tell you about everything fun on the ninth anniversary of the SBS variety show, Running Man. So, stay tuned!
About Running9 Fan Meeting
Concept
The flow of the fan meeting uses the concept of Running Man, where at the end of the event the members have to guess the spy who is carrying out the mission of the producer and director. After that, Running Man members will be given instructions about the spy if their appearance exceeds 120 decibels. Do not forget the opening time, they were given a mission to choose one of the boxes including clothes with their pictures of Ji Suk-jin. If they choose the box that contains the clothes with Ji Suk-jin’s picture, then they have to change into prison clothes.
