Next week on Running Man…
The cast is sans guests as they compete in an epic challenge- build a boat with the help of university students and sail it across the Han River. Episode 178 had a similar challenge, however it was the cast building the boats without the help of students. You can check out the preview and official pics below:
Now on to the headlines!
Australia: The details
As you may have previously heard Running Man flew to the land down under on the 22nd (Ji Hyo flew out on the 23rd due to scheduling conflicts). Rain and Kim Woo Bin were along for the ride, filming alongside the cast over a period of two days. The filming schedule is as follows:
22 February 2014, Saturday
– Depart from Incheon International Airport to Brisbane Airport23 February 2014, Sunday
– Arrive Brisbane Airport at 6.30AM (Local Time)
– Arrive Tangalooma Island Resort (Located at Moreton Island) at 8.30AM
– Filming at Gold Coast at 2PM24 February 2014, Monday
– Filming at Melbourne26 February 2014, Wednesday
– Depart by taking international flight of domestic routes (Passed through Sydney Airport and back to Korea)
By all accounts the filming went well and the fan turnout was amazing. Henceforth are 44 pictures detailing the trip (split between getting there, filming, and coming home). Based on the pics it looks like the challenges involved classic cars, jeeps, some kind of historical outback challenge, a bevy of hats, and dressing up as kangaroos. Looks hilarious! Enjoy!

Like they say in dramas Ji Hyo must have saved a country in her past life,lol she gets to be in the same team(from what I see) with jong kook and Rain hotness overload! ❤
I think she must have saved 2 counties in her past life 🙂 At least two. From being on a team with Rain and Jong Kook to being a variety star and legit actress simultaneously, this girl did something right!
I wasn’t in Australia when the RM team were (because God hates me, clearly), but I followed the Twitter feed, and the Aussie fans were totally nuts. Stalked them, ripped off their name tags and ran off, wouldn’t be quiet when they were trying to film. One girl jumped in front of a taxi (!) that Woo Bin was in. Cray cray! I’m embarrassed for my country, lol. I can’t wait to watch the episode though! Kwang Soo and Gary were really popular, from the comments I read.
I heard about the Aussie craziness- but I don’t blame the country (cray cray fans are everywhere) 🙂
