Running Man (Korean: 런닝맨; RR: Reonning maen; MR: Rŏnning man) is a South
Korean variety show, formerly part of SBS' Good Sunday lineup.[1] It was first aired on
July 11, 2010.[2]
Running Man was originally classified as an "urban action variety"; a genre of variety
shows in an urban environment.[3] The MCs and guests were to complete missions at
a landmark to win the race.[4] The show has since shifted to a more familiar reality-
variety show concept focused on games.[citation needed] It has garnered attention as being the
comeback program for Yoo Jae-suk, the main MC of the program, after leaving Good
Sunday's Family Outing in February 2010.[5]
The show has become popular in other parts of Asia, and has gained online popularity
among Hallyu fans, having been fansubbed into various languages, such as English,
Persian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Malay,
Indonesian, Burmese, Arabic, Russian, and Turkish.[6][7]
The show has made it to the list of Business Insider's 20 TV Shows of 2016.[8]
Since April 2017, Running Man is airing as the first part of Good Sunday at 4:50
pm KST and competing against KBS2's The Return of Superman and MBC's King of
Mask Singer.[9] Running Man previously aired at 6:25 pm KST on Sundays, as the
second part of Good Sunday, competing against KBS2's 2 Days & 1 Night. The show
had its special episode on Sunday, July 12, 2020, in celebration of their 10th
anniversary.[10]
