VIXX, MONSTA X, KNK, MADTOWN, And More Take Part In Race For Upcoming Epic "Running Man" Episode

Sep 27, 2016

It looks like an upcoming episode of “Running Man” is going to be epic!

The “Running Man” cast recently filmed a race near the Han River in Seoul on September 27 against over one hundred stars and idols. The main guests are actors Jo Jae Hyun and Chae Soo Bin, with a hundred idols, broadcasters, and actors also taking part in the massive race. Groups that were have been spotted in photos on social media include VIXX, MONSTA X, DJ DOC, KNK, MADTOWN, Snuper, BIGSTAR, gugudan, BESTie, Topp Dogg, and more!

The opponents were split up into teams and each assigned a cast member to try to take down. It’s said that since there were so many people, they had the stars film themselves instead of using a camera person for each contestant.

KNK shared some photos from the filming via Instagram, with Seungjoon first posting a picture taken by MONSTA X’s Minhyuk and asking followers to let them know if they see Haha.
