Variety Show: Running Man

So recently I started watching a Korean variety show called "Running Man". Running Man (런닝맨) is a South Korean variety show; a part of SBS's Good Sunday lineup, along with K-pop Star (K팝 스타). It was first aired on July 11, 2010. This show is classified as an "urban action variety"; a never-before-seen new genre of variety shows. The MCs and guests complete missions in a landmark to win the race. It's a really great variety show and I would recommend anyone who has a good sense of humor to watch it. :D

This variety show is still active as of now and I think they just aired episode 74. If you want links to the subbed episodes or an overview of what has happened in the episodes so far, let me know by leaving a comment below!

Here is one part that had me rofl-ing...literally. hahaha enjoy!
Background info (so you're not totally lost XD): RM episode 3 - Guests Goo Hara from kpop girl group KARA and also actor Lee Chun Hee. The winning team of this game gets 50,000 won and in the end, the team w/ the most money gets to leave and go home early.

Telepathy Game: So in this game, two members from the same team sit next to each other and put on headphones that are blasting loud music so that they cannot hear each other. One member has a list of questions and the other member has a list of answers. They each shout out one question/answer at a time. The objective is to match the question with the answer. Since you can't hear what your partner is saying, it's a 'telepathy' game, but they're mostly just spewing out random answers. XD haha here are a few crazy question and answers during the game.

2 cool 2PM (:

One of my favorite idol groups is 2PM. I really like their music, performances, and especially their appearances on variety shows because they make it so entertaining to watch. Go check out some of 2PM's variety shows if you have the chance! Here's a fun picture I edited. Enjoy ^^



Here are some (not ALL because if I were to list all of their appearances, it would take...forever....) 2PM Variety Shows:

- 2PM Wild Bunny: Once you start watching, you won't be able to stop. They basically do random and un-idol like stuff. It had me ROFLing in no time. XD The episodes are subbed on Youtube, so go check it out!

- Star Golden Bell: They appear in various episodes as guests

- Star King: One of my favorites. Star King is a variety show that brings people from all over the world who have amazing talents and then they have popular idols interacting in the activities. :) 2PM and many other popular groups make various appearances on this show and if you haven't seen Nichkhun on this show, then you've been missing a LOT. Go check it out~

- 2PM Idol Army Show

- We Got Married: Nichkhun and his pretend wife Victoria from f(x) go on dates and more. It's a cute show :)

- Family Outing: Sadly, this variety show has been cancelled for a while now, but it was great while it lasted. Taecyeon is a regular MC on this show in Season 2. They basically go to different places, receive missions, cook meals, and act as a family, hence the name "Family Outing". Also every week they have a popular idol(s) come on the show and spend the day with them. Ever wanted to see the hidden side of your favorite idol? Well then this show is for you :) check out both Season 1 and Season 2!
