Running Man, a SBS signage entertainment company that has been running for 9 years, has maintained its upward trend this year, catching both TV viewer ratings and topicality.
I looked at Running Man' of the year for the last week of 2019.
Special Feature of the Year: T-Shirt Project
Running Man, which has attracted viewers' attention with various special Races every time, held its first ever domestic fan meeting T-Shirt for the 9th anniversary. As a special event, the members sweated for fan meetings from May to September, and showed colorful group dances and personal performances in front of about 2,500 fans on the day of the fan meeting. The biggest reversal was the limited-class mission Find Spie, which only members did not know. Fans were enthusiastic about the Running Man Signature Mission, and they were enthusiastic about the mission more than anyone else. It was a special feature of the past that fans, members, production crew, and viewers all enjoyed.
TV viewer ratings of the year: Unboxing - Secrets of the Box
Race, which took the best TV viewer ratings of Running Man this year, recorded 8.5% of TV viewer ratings (based on the second part of the Nielsen Korea metropolitan area) as Unboxing: Secret of Boxes, which was broadcast in March. The members, who were divided into three teams, had to exchange their own precious items that could not be left behind and bring them to higher value items. The members laughed, securing various rare items with help from close acquaintances and attempting to exchange brazen objects. In this process, actors Lee Sang-yeop, Oh Chang-seok, and idol group SF9 appeared and attracted attention.
Makeup of the Year: The Avengers+Gung Ye
One of the signatures of Running Man, The Make-up Show, is unmatched. This year, all members of the team have joined together as The Avengers characters for the T-Shirt Project. Yoo Jae-Suk was divided into Captain America, Kim Jong Kook was Hulk, Song Ji Hyo was Gamora, and Jeon So-min was Yondu. Lee Kwang-soo was Groot, Haha was Antman, and Yang Se-chan was turned into Rocket. On the other hand, Ji Suk-jin appeared as a Gung Ye character, not 'The Avengers', but laughed with a sense of no difference at all. The Avengers character of the members was engraved on the T-Shirt fan meeting T-Shirt, making it an unforgettable fan meeting gift for fans.
Penalty of the Year: Lee Kwang-soo
I also looked at the stake of the penalty, which is the closing of Running Man'. The member with the most penalties in 2019 was actor Lee Kwang-soo, who received eight penalties. In second place, Yoo Jae-Suk received seven penalties, with the "Brothers of the Bomb" having a high stake in the penalty, while Haha was punished twice and became a "member of luck".
On the other hand, Running Man, which will be broadcast on the 29th, will broadcast a special feature of the Cannes Film Festival, which is decorated with a makeup show of the past.
