    Running Man “A Decade Of Laughter 2023” In Manila To Be Held In April

    The members of South Korea’s well-loved variety show, Running Man, head to Manila this April!

    As if we didn’t just wrap up an explosive year of euphoric K-Pop events, 2023 is shaping up to be an even greater year for all Filipino Hallyu fans. Get ready as one of the highly-requested shows of the decade is finally about to happen in the Philippines for the first time ever!

    Prepare to be filled with thrill and excitement as PULP Live World brings in another world-class act to celebrate a decade and more of producing the best K-events the country has seen. The cast of the longest-running variety show on SBS Channel, Running Man, is heading to the Philippines for a grand fanmeeting – RUNNING MAN: A DECADE OF LAUGHTER 2023 IN MANILA will take place on April 1, 2023, at the Mall of Asia Arena.

    More than ten years since its pilot episode on July 2010 on SBS, the Sunday variety show Running Man has successfully conquered South Korean television with its outstanding comedic acts and games that would bring viewers to different spots across Korea and other countries. It started out as an “urban action variety,” a TV genre with physical and mental games that take place in an urban environment. Immediately after, it became famous for its various games which are replicated by fans of the show worldwide. But aside from that, it was really their Name-Tag Ripping Challenge that has become their signature game, having been highly anticipated in each episode and getting viewers on the edge of their seats out of excitement.

    The show is headlined by the cast members: Korea’s renowned MC Yu Jae Suk, comedian Jee Suk Jin, singer and actor Kim Jong Kook, actress Song Ji Hyo, singer and MC Haha, MC Yang Se Chan, and actress Jeon So Min. Their individuality and different quirks add flavor to the show which most viewers love. With their funny banter and almost-slapstick comedy style, the viewers can easily relate to their humor.

    More than a decade since Running Man first aired on TV, and now with more than 600 episodes, the show has proven itself timeless through the years. The show’s games previously highlighted Korean Culture and Tourism. However, it has also incorporated global culture and inspiration into its format. With episodes that were inspired by Hollywood films and ones that feature the cast touring across Asia (for fan meetings and also filming challenges inspired by the country they are in), Running Man can now be considered a global TV phenomenon that encapsulates worldwide cultures and showcasing them in one grand variety show.

    More than that, the show has victoriously garnered recognitions from numerous award-giving bodies as 2019 StarHub Favorite Variety Show and Best Entertainment Program at the 51st Baeksang Arts Awards, and Best Teamwork Award at the 12th SBS Entertainment Awards to name a few—all made possible by the efforts of each staff behind it and as well as the members of the cast.

    Now, to celebrate a decade of bringing happiness and laughter to fans through their TV sets, Running Man will be coming to Manila to finally meet their Filipino Fans. This is undoubtedly a show that every Hallyu fan should look forward to. Don’t miss this chance to meet the Running Man cast and run to the Mall of Asia Arena on April 1, 2023, at 6 p.m. for the RUNNING MAN ‘A DECADE OF LAUGHTER’ TOUR IN MANILA.

  • What We Missed on Hailee Steinfeld’s Zoom Chat

    Hailee Steinfeld was able to catch up with media friends from the Philippines and some fans to talk about her latest single “I Love You’s” and how she’s coping up during the quarantine, on Wednesday, April 22nd.

    Steinfeld is known for performing “Flashlight” with the Barden Bellas in Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) and has starred in various films such as Bumblebee, Edge of Seventeen, and comedy series Dickinson. It was then followed by her debut single, “Love Myself” and a series of singles, such as “Starving” which placed the 12th spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.

    When asked how what is filming her music video, she shared, “It was a lot of fun. I love making music videos, I sort of feel like that was when my two worlds kind of collide, and when it comes to making the music video of I Love You’s, we had a version of the video that didn’t’ turn out the way we want it to – so when it came to doing it the second time, I figured I would throw my hat it and make it happen and execute my vision the best as I could and I did it with the help of Sarah McColgan, and we were on the same page since day 1.”

    According to her, the song is sort of being in confined space and losing sight of who she was. “It’s realizing that time alone and time for myself is what I needed and that wasn’t such a bad thing. I think the idea of being alone can be daunting or not necessarily desirable for some people and I was in a certain situation where that was the last thing I wanted but I knew it’s what I needed. I think right now a lot of us are in confined spaces, some of us are handling it better than others, while some others are going crazy,” she added.

    She also shared that she has a lot of free time to reflect and focus on herself. She has been trying lots of different things, from learning a bunch of music equipment and spending most of her time in her home studio.

    During the interview, Steinfeld cited that she wants to collaborate with Ed Sheeran if she were to create a song about encouragement.

    She also can’t wait for this to be over and meet all her adoring fans. Special thanks to MCA Music for including Philippine Concerts on the group meeting with Hailee Steinfeld.
