18-11-2023 (SINGAPORE) The popular Korean variety series “Running Man” recently took its cast to Singapore for a special episode, and the preview promises an action-packed adventure. The episode, set to air on November 19, features the six regular cast members, Yoo Jae-seok, Ha Ha, Ji Seok-jin, Kim Jong-kook, Song Ji-hyo, and Yang Se-chan, along with guest stars Hong Jin-ho and actress Shin Ye-eun.
The 40-second teaser, released on YouTube, showcases the cast’s excitement and laughter as they explore various iconic locations in Singapore. The stars visited Haji Lane and Satay Street, expressing their wonder at the vibrant sights. However, the mood shifted dramatically when the cast experienced a painful massage that left even the typically resilient Kim Jong-kook in agony.
