Han Zong: "Running Man" was so hot, I abandoned the variety show after 8 years

premiered on July 11, 2010. It has been 9 years since it has aired more than 400 episodes. In the past September, the 9th Anniversary Fan Meeting also sparked heated discussions on the Internet. must have been seen by many people, it is "Running Man".

"Running Man" is one of the best in the variety show, also known as the trump card variety show. The show often wins the first place in ratings and breaks the ratings record.

almost includes all the awards of variety shows: the most popular, the best program, the best program, etc. The members have won newcomer awards, performing arts awards, couple awards, etc. for many times, and won the prizes softly.

"Running Man" contributed to the rise of the Korean Wave. As the show became popular all over the world, and the popularity of the show and its members swept Asia, the giraffe Lee Kwang-soo was named the "Prince of Asia". The

program was also recognized by the South Korean government for making outstanding contributions to the development of Hallyu and South Korea’s tourism industry, and was awarded the South Korean Prime Minister’s Commendation.

Zhejiang Satellite TV also introduced copyright, and China and South Korea jointly produced "Running Brothers", which achieved good ratings.

old members Liu Dashen, Wang Nose, giraffe Lee Kwang-soo, Tiger Kim Jong-kook, Ho Chi, dog brother Gary, Haha and Song Joong-ki, newly joined Yang Se-chan and Jeon Zhao-min all presented wonderful programs for the audience.

Some people say "Running Man" is not a variety show, but a memory. indeed, for fans who have been following, it has created too many memories for us.

accidentally saw "Running Man" in high school, and then completely fell into the pit. A must-see every week, even in the third year of high school, there is a lot of pressure and time is tight, you have to make time to hide behind you.

When I heard "Lee Kwang-soo, OUT", I couldn't help but feel sorry for Kwang-soo's elimination. He is a man who is favored by the artist god, and he can't escape all the punishment. Uncle Barrel is in the game, and when he hits the egg, he lays the egg. It made me laugh every time, and the pressure was relieved after the laugh.

went to college, and the habit of chasing variety shows continued to become a full-fledged chase. As soon as the program was updated, I turned on the computer on time and prepared snacks. The four people sat together to watch "Running Man" and laughed while watching. Sometimes they even alarmed the bedroom next door and chased more people together.

has been chasing it for 8 years in a blink of an eye. It is a must-see every week, and one issue does not fall. This year, I gradually found that the content has changed and become more and more boring.

"Running Man" has been broadcast for 9 years and has undergone several personnel changes. Whether it is a member or a PD, it has more or less impact.

In 2011, Song Zhong Gene’s filming was withdrawn from the show. In 2016, the dog brother Gary got off because of the development of his music business. In the same year, Lin PD resigned, and Li PD and Zheng PD took over. The "Monday Lovers" was split up. Then Zhong Guo and Zhixiao were "get off the bus" without their knowledge, and the ratings were getting lower and lower. In 2017, Yang Shican and Quan Zhaomin joined and the members became 8 people. Although the ratings have risen and the content has been revised, it has lost its original feel.

The same routine that came over in 9 years, the audience is also aesthetically tired. The classic games of

, such as brand tearing, acupressure board, swimming pool flying chair, and quagmire chase, have gradually faded out of the audience's vision. Now the show is like boiled water and tasteless. Even if you throw a stone into the sea, you can't beat the waves.

is even suspected of plagiarism in the content of the program. A certain period of the competition is similar to the web comic "Money Game". It was made for reference without the permission of the manga writer, and the program owner also apologized for it.

In addition, the 2017 "Limited Korean Order" allowed Hallyu to cool down quickly. Major copyright sites such as Youku, Tencent, and iQiyi took down all Korean programs. "Running Man" was the first to bear the brunt. During this period, it took a lot of time to find resources. The rise of

short video has greatly grabbed the audience's time and attention. It takes more than an hour to watch a program, and a short video shows wonderful content in a few minutes, which is more attractive.

Watching a movie commentary, a few minutes is equivalent to watching a movieMovies, anytime, anywhere, you can do it whenever you want. As time goes by, everyone will not spend too much time on variety shows. Although

has now abandoned "running man", in contrast, Chinese variety shows are still widely criticized. Even though some programs of

have introduced foreign copyrights, they did not inherit the essence of good programs in the process of localization. Instead, advertisements were placed throughout the article, the rhythm was slow, and the content was dull.

Many blatantly plagiarize foreign variety shows directly, changing their names, program ideas, and game settings almost exactly the same. Cover your ears and steal the bell, and still enjoy yourself in deceiving yourself. Little do they know that the eyes of the audience are discerning, and one day they will suffer.

The only show in China that can rival "Running Man" is estimated to be "Happy Camp", which has contracted our childhood memories, and it is not easy to go all the way. I have long stopped chasing.

More and more online variety shows appear, and they are loved and sought after by the audience, which shows that our variety shows are also improving. There is still a long way to go, but I can look forward to seeing exciting, sighing, and loving shows one day. That day, come early.
