Running Man was originally classified as an "urban action variety"; a genre of variety shows in an urban environment. The MCs and guests were to complete missions at a landmark to win the race. The show has since shifted to a more familiar reality-variety show concept focused on games. It has garnered attention as being the comeback program for Yoo Jae-suk, the main MC of the program, after leaving Good Sundays Family Outing in February 2010.

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. The show has made it to the list of *Business Insider*s 20 TV Shows of 2016.

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. 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 celebrated its 11th anniversary on July 11, 2021, with 563 episodes, surpassing MBC's Infinite Challenge for the longest entertainment program in South Korea.

On December 20, 2024, it was revealed that Running Man will become one of SBS' Programs to be aired on Netflix as a part of partnership collaboration agreements.

Format

Current

As of episode 48, the members have taken part in a series of missions to become the winner(s) at the end of the race. Missions form the basis of Running Man as members try to avoid punishment in earlier episodes or to win prizes. Multiple missions are presented in each episode, with the highlight of Running Man being race missions. The format of the show has veered away from the "race mission + others" to "one continuous race + missions".

Production staff

The staff run the games, often showing up on camera either by actively participating in the game or influencing the outcome of various missions. This includes the personal cameramen (VJs), production directors (PDs), floor directors (FDs), stylists, boom operators, etc.

At the show's inception, chief producer Nam Seung-yong was responsible for the production of the program, with PDs Jo Hyo-jin, Im Hyung-taek, and Kim Joo-hyung (also known as Myeok PD) mainly responsible for the directing and production of the recordings of the program. Other PDs have joined the program to assist as the program shifts from a single landmark to multiple locations for recording, notably Hwang Seon-man, Jeong Cheol-min, and Lee Hwan-jin. FD Go Dong-wan assisted in the recordings of the program and was known to be shown on camera many times, as well as delivering and assisting the members in missions. Producer Kim Joo-hyung has left the show as of episode 182, as he was reassigned to Inkigayo.

Each member has their own personal cameramen who follow them around exclusively during recordings. Notable cameramen include Ryu Kwon-ryeol (Yoo Jae-suk's primary VJ), Kim Yoo-seok (Jee Seok-jin's primary VJ), Choi Yoon-sang (former primary VJ for Lee Kwang-soo), Yoon Sung-yong (Haha's primary VJ), Sung Gyu (Song Ji-hyo's primary VJ), Jo Seong-Oh (Gary's primary VJ, now Yang Se-chan's primary VJ), Kim Ki-jin (Kim Jong-kook's primary VJ), and Ji Bong-jo (Jeon So-min's primary VJ).

On November 19, 2014, the show's head director, Jo Hyo-jin, announced his departure from the show after working with the members for four years. On March 20, 2016, the show's main PD, Im Hyung-taek left the show (as of episode 291), as he became the producer of Hurry Up, Brother, resulting in new generation PDs to take over, notably PD Lee Hwan-jin, PD Jeong Cheol-min, and PD Park Yong-woo. FD Go Dong-wan also announced his leave via his Instagram.

On July 3, 2016, SBS confirmed the return of producer Kim Joo-hyung to the show. That same month, it was confirmed that he would become the new main PD of the show. However, PD Kim Joo-hyung announced his departure from the show shortly after. Subsequently, PD Lee Hwan-jin took over as the main PD of Running Man until March 2017. In April 2017, PD Jeong Cheol-min took over from PD Lee Hwan-Jin as the show's main PD.

In July 2018, PD Jeong Cheol-min took a break and PD Lee Hwan-jin temporarily took over as main PD of the show. PD Jeong returned in May 2019 replacing PD Lee, leading the show till February 5, 2020, where he left the show and SBS. His role was taken over by PD Choi Bo-pil.

On August 1, 2022, SBS announced that PD Choi Bo-pil would be leaving the show. He was replaced by PD Choi Hyung-in, the first female production director in the show's history.

On December 14, 2025, SBS announced that PD Choi Hyung-in would be leaving the show due to her pregnancy and want to focus on her family, with PD Kang Hyung-seon taking over the role as the main PD.

Reception

The first episode of the show received mixed reviews. According to Asiae, the show concept was promising, but the crew could not use the location to full potential, and the pace was not fast and dynamic enough.

Despite a slow start, Running Man became increasingly popular in South Korea and throughout Asia. In its home country, the show was watched by 2.1 million people on average. Due to the existence of fansubs, it is watched outside of Asia as well, being translated into English, Spanish and Arabic, among others.

According to Singaporean daily newspaper The Straits Times, the popularity of the show is due to its unpredictability, the comedy involved, the celebrity guests and the chemistry between the regular cast members. Assistant professor Liew Kai Khiun at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore attributes the appeal of Running Man to the ability of using public space in a creative way: "Running Man is about taking audiences to the various corners of not only South Korea, but the region as well. In the rather fast-paced urban societies in Asia, the show helps to provide release from the daily tensions that such streets and buildings are associated with." Liew thinks that the cast members are not particularly good looking, thus have nothing to lose, even if they "wrestle with one another like children".

According to producer Jo Hyo-jin, the show is popular because the concept of having to choose a winner is culturally easy to understand. He also named the good relationship between the regular members as one of the reasons for the show's success. Celebrity guests like Super Junior, Girls' Generation, and 2PM play an important part in the success as well, although they sometimes induce criticism. For example, after the airing of the BigBang episodes, some viewers complained that the band won too easily. However, Jo denied any special treatment of the celebrities. Jo explained that fans are also highly critical of the games, therefore it is not possible for the crew to reuse games without changing them.

The regular members of Running Man have held several fan meetings throughout Asia. In October 2013, their Singapore fan meeting drew a crowd of 3,000. When the cast arrived for shooting in Vietnam and other countries, they were greeted by thousands of fans at the airport.

Spin-off

Outrun by Running Man is the first official spin-off series of the long running programme, featuring original cast members Kim Jong-kook, Haha, Jee Seok-jin, Song Ji-hyo, and Yang Se-chan. The show premiered on November 12, 2021, and is available for streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

Controversy

Gary's departure

In September 2012, Gary made a surprising announcement on social media about his intention to leave the program. It is believed that his intention came from the recent criticism concerning the "Super 7 Concert" which his company, Leessang Company, was producing. Gary decided to take responsibility for its failure by resigning himself from any activities. Due to this, Running Man production staff and the members decided to postpone their filming schedule on September 24–25, 2012 to convince him to stay in the program. A week later, Gary officially apologized for the controversy he created and confirmed his decision to remain as a member of the program. In 2016, Gary again announced his departure from Running Man to focus on his music. However, in 2018 Gary went on Naver TV for an interview and honestly said the reason he wanted to leave the program was that he had nothing left to offer compared to other members or upcoming members (Kim, 2018). This caused Running Man to have a 6-member cast for a few months before casting two new members, Yang Se Chan and Jeon So Min. Gary returned on episode 336 as a surprise guest.

Season 2 proposal

On December 14, 2016, it was announced that Kim Jong-kook and Song Ji-hyo were leaving the show. Song was to focus on her acting career, while Kim would continue individual activities. The announcement came with a revamp of the program for a second season airing in January 2017, in which Kang Ho-dong was in talks for joining. This would have been the first collaboration between Yoo Jae-suk and Kang Ho-dong since X-Man ended in 2007. However, it was revealed that Kim Jong-kook and Song Ji-hyo were not given any notice about their removal. The following day, Kang Ho-dong's company, SM Culture & Contents, announced that the entertainer had pulled out from the program. SBS released an apology to Kim, Song, and the other Running Man members the same day.

On December 16, 2016, an emergency meeting was held, where consensus was reached to keep the original members and end the program in February 2017. However, on January 24, 2017, SBS announced that the show would continue airing past February. The decision came after Nam Seung-yong, the new Vice President of SBS Entertainment Headquarters, who was involved in conceiving Running Man, had further conversations with every member in regards to the show's future. After Nam apologized to Kim Jong-kook and Song Ji-hyo for all of the issues regarding the program, Kim became actively involved in convincing the other members to continue working on the program.

Webtoon plagiarism

On April 28, 2019, Running Man was criticized for plagiarizing Naver webtoon Money Game. The aired episode showed cast members put into a studio and given money to spend as a group. The fans of Money Game pointed out the similarities between the episode concept and the webtoon's storyline. Money Game writer Bae Jin-soo and Naver Webtoon, the platform in which the webtoon is published, both stated that they never received prior notification or requests for consent to be able to adopt the webtoon's storyline into a Running Man episode. In response, producers of the show issued an apology to both parties.

Depiction of Taiwan

During an episode aired on December 7, 2020, the show depicted China and Taiwan as separate countries when playing a board game, which caused outrage and call for boycotts in China.

Injury

It was revealed that the cast had suffered various injuries such as herniated discs, as a result of the physically challenging games in the show.
