Running Man has held fan meetings every year since 2013 in Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, and has met foreign viewers. The request for a fan meeting in Korea was also consistently made, but it was not easy because of the schedule problem. “It was difficult to schedule domestic events easily because we considered various factors such as schedules, shooting schedules, and overseas fan meetings of eight members,” a program official said on the 6th.
However, the breathing of the production crew and performers who have been in line for nine years made this year's fan meeting possible. “As the production team has accumulated know-how to adjust various schedules, we have finally managed to coordinate the timing,” said a Running Man official.
Jung Chul-min, who returned to the program just in time, was also very powerful. Jung PD, well known as 'Iron Min PD' among the audience, returned to the Running Man' in May and strengthened the project. This is the result of the right timing. “I thought it would be meaningful to celebrate the 9th anniversary in a special way when all the conditions were well intertwined,” a program official said, explaining the planning intention of the Running District Project.
Domestic fan meetings, which are held after a long wait, are also bringing new vitality to the Running Man. The Running Zone Project, which has been on air since May, has raised the fun with the members competing fiercely over the details of the fan meeting. Members are also motivated by their first domestic fan meeting. They continue to practice on busy schedules.
“Some viewers are directly inquiring about fan meetings by phone,” said a source from Running Man.
The production team recently confirmed the fan meeting in August, and will release related information such as places and guests in the future.
