This morning, the Korean variety show "Running Man" officially confirmed that director Zheng Cheolmin will get off the bus. PD Zheng Zhemin joined SBS in 2010 and participated in the performance of "Running man" for nearly 10 years. This was a very sad thing at first, but many fans applauded it. Why is this?
"Running Man" started in 2010. At that time, Liu Zaishi just finished "The Birth of a Family" not long ago. SBS TV wanted to create a new type of entertainment program. Each period has a different theme, with different guests participating in the competition, divided into different teams to compete. By completing various game tasks, the winner will receive a title or prize. Later they named the show "Running Man". When
first started, the resident guests of "Running Man" were Yoo Jae-seok, Chiseok-jin, Kim Jong-kuk, Ha Dong-hoon, Gary, Song Ji-hyo, Song Joong-ki and Lee Kwang-soo. Later, Lizzy of the girl group AfterSchool came as a guest. Her performance was very popular with the audience and became one of the permanent guests.
Later, Lizzy quit the show because of the delay in finding a position and fewer and fewer shots. Song Joongki also left the program group because of the TV series, and "Running Man" left the 7-man lineup that we are very familiar with.
Seven people in "Running Man" perform their duties. Liu Jae-seok is in charge of controlling the field and keeps the pace of the show at any time; Kim Jong-kook, because of his excellent physical condition, acts as a "man of ability" and becomes a strong person; Lee Kwang-soo and HAHA are often "betrayed brothers" and sometimes play The role of an idiot; Song Ji-hyo is flexible in mind and is the ACE of the game. She and Gary also formed the longest CP "Monday Couple" in Han Zong's history; "The weakest" Chi Shizhen was frequently teased in the show and also has his own Personal positioning.
There is no permanent banquet in the world, "Running Man" still failed to escape the seven-year itch. In 2016, Jiang Gary announced his withdrawal. The ratings have dropped wildly. Later, SBS Television issued a statement saying that Kim Jong-kook and Song Ji-hyo had withdrawn because they were busy in acting and music, and would invite some new members to start the second season. However, the media later revealed that the two were forced to withdraw due to SBS's unilateral disembarkation statement.
"Running Man" was so much talked about, and finally announced the news that it was about to stop broadcasting. At the 2016 Grand Awards, Lee Kwang-soo was not happy to receive the award on stage, but he couldn't cry.
At this time, Zheng Zhemin, who has been working in the program group, provoked the lead and became the chief director. "Running Man" once again announced in 2017 that it will continue production, cancel the suspension of the broadcast, and the six members will continue to run. At the same time, they will introduce Liang Shican and Jeon Zhaomin as regular hosts. That's it until now.
Zheng Zhemin has many outstanding ideas, the most famous one is "tourism show". Mr. Box remembers that for a while, 8 members ran around the world. It was also because of the efforts of Zheng Zhemin and other staff that Running Man was able to survive. But this time when he got off the bus, many old fans applauded, because the old member Song Zhixiao's shots are getting less and less, which arouses many people's dissatisfaction. The old fan also urged the new director to give Zhixiao more shots.
Choi Baobi, who has been newly selected as the main PD, will show off in "Running Man", we will wait and see.
