Running Man Main PD interview for 5th Anniv

Recommended Posts

This is 5 year anniversary of Running Man so JoHyoJin and Im HyungTaek PD did an interview. Jo PD was in charge from Ep1~200. Im PD took over from Ep200. They did 'Xman' and 'Family Outing' together as well.

Rough Summary:

1. Running Man was not doing so well in the beginning because they were still new and stuff. Also, other programs airing at the same time were very popular so the RM production team was thinking about getting rid of RM if Thailand Special did not do so well. Rest is history.

 

2. Both PDs picked YJS as No.1 contributor to the show. He is the leader that takes care of all the members on and off the set. He leads other members and listens to their concerns.

 

3. Running Man is really popular overseas. Korea recently sold the idea of Running Man to China for record breaking amount at that time for variety shows. Korean crew went to China to co-produce Chinese Running Man. It is immensely popular in China.

They both picked KJK as the most popular member in China. Im PD said that KJK is a character that does not exist in China. A singer with unique voice and visual. Very good body, but is mannered. Has the ability to dominate the game, but has weaknesses as well. I think it is hard to find this complex character in China. He has a very firm image of Commander in China.

 

4. When asked about future projects and overseas specials, they talked about trying to communicate more with the fans and viewers. Also, IM PD said that they are planning for 1-2 big projects this year. It is still in the planning stage, but they want to put members in a very precarious spot. For overseas specials, they are always considering it, however, a lot of things need to be planned and go smoothly for it to come to fruition.

 

5. When asked about how they are going to keep RM on air for a long time, IM PD said that he is not sure because he never did programs that lasted 5 years. He thinks he can try anything. Also, it is going to be important to identify the success factors and improve on them.
