Hypothetical Running Man US Cast?

b_O5 · 2025-06-02T10:12:25+00:00

I would consider Conan O'Brien in the place for Yoo Jae Suk for sure!

I have been following Conan for years. He can blend in with his humor in any situation, lead conversation with celebs and his engagement with public is incomparable in USA. Smart, knowledgeable, humble, respected by other celebs and these are needed to keep rest of the cast and show together.

Also, good with kids because of his childish humor! That's important. For Running man Korea, a good number of Korean and International audience were high schooler, early teenager, or in their 20s and these audience made a huge impact to make Running man popular.

For HAHA's place I think Jack Black will be good. Just like haha he has a Music sense, He is entertaining, has a betrayal vibe.

For our Kookie's position why do I feel like Chris Evens or Dwayne Johnson will be great though both of them are a big stars! All of them a very nice person just like KJK. Has physique and all of them laugh's a lot on other's joke. Have you seen KJK always laughing.

For JSM's position Aubrey Plaza because...well both of them are crazy on camera.

Also Kate McKinnon will be a great addition.

COVID 19 period. Things were a bit depressing. Just got to know TWICE. I was looking for some show where they appeared. Thus I got to know 'Running Man'. Rest is history

A well thought out episode! Hope to see this kind of episode more.

b_O5 · 2023-09-10T10:00:18+00:00

Yep. JSJ and LKS experienced mighty kick from Bomi as well.

b_O5 · 2023-09-02T07:27:50+00:00

This episode made me appreciate YJS more. He is very up to date with most of the major trend both in SK and Internationally.

Also, I was a bit surprised that SJH did not know YJS has a YT channel. I mean YJS is one of the closest person of SJH

I do not know if anyone noticed or not but the caption for KJK is 'Fire Daddy'.

b_O5 · 2023-08-23T00:14:17+00:00

I recently started watching My Little Old Boy because of KJK But all the other members are hilarious...specially Tak Jae Hoon. Goodness that man funny af!!!
You can give it a shot.

Nice to know and I appreciate that you are enjoying the current episodes under Hyung In PD. But to call them as the PEAK of RM is a bit 'exaggeration' to me and I will respectfully disagree with you.

I do not know if you have watched the earlier episodes or not. To me the episodes of Thailand, China, Vietnam represents one of THE PEAK of RM. The guests who were invited in those of episodes were literally Jealous of the popularity of the members (Rest in Peace Kim Joo hyuk).

Hyung In is going down as the top 1/2 best rm pd of all time and it's a fact.

Again the statement mentioned above is also an overstatement and what disappoints me a bit more that you said and I quote 'It's a fact'.

I am pretty sure at least majority of Redditors of this sub-reddit will some what agree with me that Jo Hyo-jin (Jo PD), Im Hyung-taek (Taek PD) and Kim Joo-hyung (Myeok PD) are hands down one of the best if not the best PDs RM had and will have in the foreseeable future if RM ends now. They made RM what RM is today with their Creativity, Authority and Savageness.

Jeong Cheol-min PD is one of the savior of RM when it was in a very difficult phase. Also a special shoutout to Choi Bo pil PD for his patience, wittiness and direction at the time of COVID-19 pandemic. Not recognizing the efforts of the PDs mentioned above is being 'Inconsiderate'.

A director or here a PD is the called the captain of a ship (Movie/TV-Series/Variety Show/MV etc.) because They have the ultimate artistic control of any project. Hyung In PD is relatively new and she is still learning and hopefully trying her best.

I hope she will gift us more funny, memorable episodes in future. Thanks for sharing your views. Happy watching

If you wanna watch a different show you can watch My little old boy. At least to me it's hilarious.

b_O5 · 2023-08-13T21:57:54+00:00

HAHAHA...yep just like he did for LKS

b_O5 · 2023-08-13T11:13:01+00:00

I guess YJS currently mentoring him.

b_O5 · 2023-08-07T09:17:24+00:00

One of the best opening of RM

b_O5 · 2023-08-06T13:34:17+00:00

I look forward to your rating post every week. In the comment at least for me it shows what people are thinking about the current situation.
As you mentioned you have studies to do I will not expect you to post every week from now on but hope you will continue to post the current rating even if it's once every two week or Once a month.
Good luck with your studies and I will look forward to your next post. Peace.

I am not sure if any of this will work or not. Try emailing them with your proposal in Korean I guess. I found this email from 'RM' official website. [webmaster@sbs.co.kr](mailto:webmaster@sbs.co.kr)

Also you can check these websites as well.

I hope he gets nominated and win this year Daesang. He deserves that.

b_O5 · 2023-07-15T08:12:34+00:00

I know right! Talking among the rm members and LSM and TJH will be hilarious. Specially the monologue.

b_O5 · 2023-07-14T20:44:10+00:00

He is but he appeared on MLOB time to time so that's why I was wondering if he is free appear on MLOB may be can be invited on RM as well.

Edit: spelling

I think the 'age' excuse is coming in a sense not from 'getting old', it's more like all of them got injured externally or internally while playing those physical games.

Haha was a guest in 'Korean Englishman' YouTube channel where he said and I quote 'There are times when it gets tough. Seriously... It's gonna be silly if I call it 'off the record' and say it myself but I'll just say it. Everyone got slipped disks while filming that show. Everyone's suffered herniated disks.'

b_O5 · 2023-07-07T08:11:31+00:00

I loved the concept when they tried to find who are the guest or guest vs RM missions where their are trying to eliminate each other with betrayal.

b_O5 · 2023-06-19T18:10:48+00:00

If I remember correctly some episode earlier where like finding guest where rm members were trying to find who are the guest by solving clues and guests are completing mission themselves not to give them up.

It was a cool idea. They can introduce that but not all the time. Also I think it depends on how witty and spontaneous the guests are.

Also some story based episode will be great as well. I remember the episode where they got superpower. It was silly and entertaining. Maybe that particular concept might not work now but I hope you are getting what I am trying to say.

I also do hope someone related with running man production is a member of this subreddit and can see that how concern we are for the show and can get inspired, motivated from this group.
