Next Week on Running Man
The culinary special continued on today’s episode as the cast plus guests whipped up their culinary delights (or terrors). Next week (episode 181) will feature Lee Jong Suk, Park Bo Young (yay!) and Lee Se Young in a country school Romeo and Juliet themed challenge. Is that Kim Jong Kook sporting a girl’s wig?! Count me in, a million times over. You can check out the preview below:
On to the headlines!
Upcoming Guests
Episode 182 will feature guests Im Siwan, Do Hee (Tiny G), and Yeo Jin Goo. All three guests have made waves with performances in the past year and were apparently chosen due to their up and coming (or popular) status; Do Hee had a great acting debut in Answer Me 1994, while Siwan and Yeo Jin Goo earned love for their 2013 film roles. I am not sure on the exact concept of the episode, but I am excited!
Teasers and More for Ji Hyo’s New Drama

Now on to the actual drama. Here are some recently released teasers for the show. If the teasers are any indication, the show is going to be freaking hilarious.

Gary’s gotz a lotz going on
Gary’s first solo mini album, MR.GAE is set to drop on January 15th. Leading up to the big day Gary has released 2 teaser videos; one for the song Mr. Gae and the other for the song Drunken Night Tune. Both sound amazing, with Mr. Gae more on the heavy hip hop noise side and Drunken Night Tune promising a more smooth sound. Check out the teasers and promo pics below:

Asia’s Prince Fan Meet in Malaysia
Henceforth is a massive dump of pictures and video from Lee Kwang Soo’s January 3rd fan meeting in Malaysia. By all accounts it was awesome. And Kwang Soo sang. No, seriously. He did. Enjoy!
Parting Thoughts
Kwang Soo shared the following on his Twitter with the words “Our Friendship”. I heart you two, I really do. Especially when you post pictures of you both in pseudo drag while writing things about friendship.
