Actor Son Hyun Joon Has New Respect for Entertainers after Filming "Running Man"

Well-respected actor Son Hyun Joon recently appeared as a guest on the SBS Sunday variety show “Running Man,” and in a separate interview with a local news agency, the star of “Empire of Gold” discussed working with the cast members of the variety show.

Son Hyun Joon’s son is a big fan of “Running Man,” and the actor was happy to be on the variety program for his son to watch. His son wouldn’t show any reaction when the actor would tell him that he is appearing on other variety shows, but for “Running Man,” his son showed excitement. After filming ended, the “Running Man” members Gary, Yoo Jae Suk, Song Ji Hyo, and Lee Kwang Soo gave him their name tags to take home, and his son sat staring at them for a long time.

Son Hyun Joon also described the difficulty of filming the program, saying there was no time to even go to the bathroom. “I really respect the entertainers. It is extremely difficult to run and laugh all day long. There was no time to go to the bathroom even.” Only before the final mission, was Son Hyun Joon able to take a bathroom break because Kim Jong Kook asked the staff to give them a few minutes.

“Running Man” is currently receiving a lot of love internationally, and it seems the members are working hard to bring fans the show every week. Let us send our support to “Running Man”! Fighting!
