Nearly one year after SBS' 'Running Man' shot a dazzling race in Thailand, reports have surfaced that the popular variety program will be returning to the country to shoot another foreign episode! That's not all, however, for the upcoming episode will also feature one of the biggest names in the soccer world, Park Ji Sung of Manchester United.
An insider confirmed the news, saying, "We are crossing over to Thailand on the 20th for a 'Running Man' shoot with Park Ji Sung," he said. "The members will also be traveling to Thailand."
The filming was scheduled to coincide with the 2nd Annual Asian Dream Cup, which will be held in Thailand on the 23rd. One of the reasons why 'Running Man' decided to film there was to spread the awareness of the Dream Cup, the insider revealed.
However, another report has indicated that the filming will occur on the 20th at the Sangam World Cup Stadium in Seoul.
The producers of 'Running Man' took a neutral stance, saying, "If you watch next week's broadcast, everything will be made clear. There are several confusing situations going on, so we can't reveal the details yet."
Since Park Ji Sung is known to be a fan of the urban-action variety show, catching the broadcast every week in the United Kingdom where he trains, viewers are looking forward to seeing the athlete's competitive edge surface during the race.
Stay tuned to allkpop as we bring you the latest information on the soccer player's 'Running Man' outing.
