The title is "Ugly Duckling Ms. Maeng".

The VIP/Press screening was held last Oct 18 or 19 I believe. And it was theatrically released in Korea today, Oct 28.

According to a report by Ten Asia on the 27/10, it is confirmed that Yoo Jae Suk has been nominated as a recipient of this year's Order of Cultural Merit at the 2026 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards, which is set to take place on 29/10.

The Order of Cultural Merit is one of South Korea's orders of merit. It is awarded by the President of South Korea for "outstanding meritorious services in the fields of culture and art in the interest of promoting the national culture and national development." It is the highest honor awarded at the Popular Culture and Arts Awards, and the relevant agenda item was approved at the Cabinet meeting following President Lee Jae Myung's approval. The specific rank of the award that Yoo Jae Suk will receive (varied from 1st to 5th grade) has not been disclosed.

Previously, among broadcasters who started as comedians, Lee Kyung Kyu received the Bogwan Order of Cultural Merit (Grade 3) in 2017, and Im Ha Ryong in 2020. Last year, the late Jeon Yu Seong was posthumously awarded the Okgwan Order of Cultural Merit (Grade 4). Yoo Jae Suk has now followed in their footsteps to join the list of recipients of the Order of Cultural Merit.

Hi guys, anyone knows how to send them game ideas? If I'm an international fan and don't have access to their SBS channel where people usually send ideas? Is there an email or something?

Seeing how Ye Eun is planning her honeymoon. Along with Minnie invitation.

Could it happen? Like shorter flight to Thailand for the crew and members. Less strain on the show budget. Then Ye Eun can continue on to other destinations.

As I find the shows bringing back feelings of older era. I really wish to see something like that happening again. As the Nevis swings the members keep using is like almost 9 years ago.

I know it's an unnecessary investment. The shows is stable and continue going. There is no need for extra budget for some overseas episodes but I still remember the floating market episode where Kwang Soo got betrayed by Jae suk and running around yelling in Thai that Jae suk is a thief or how the members went to Okinawa then end up in soba and ramen's hell.

Fans spotted YJS filming with DdeunDdeun crew along with Lee DongWook, Lee SangYi and Nam ChangHee. They’ve been talking about staying at LSY dads house so hopefully that’s what it is.

I say this because i feel like he's underrated. He's quick-witted, smart and funny also.

I am rewatching old episodes and the way he makes skits, the way he betrays the members is what makes Running Man the way it is.

Haaays i love RM so much 🥹🥹🥹

I'm a big Running Man fan and have watched it pretty consistently since the first few episodes (big fan of Koo Hara, who guested on Eps 2 & 3, so basically from the beginning) up to now. However, I didn't really engage with other fans or online communities centered on the show, and I was a kid for much of its run, so I don't know how the PDs changed or what happened to the show beyond the major headlines they bring up during talks or when the voice giving them missions changes lol. What exactly is the main PD timeline or the biggest turning points in how the show was formatted? Do you have a favorite PD, and what were their best episodes? TIA!

Can you give me some ideas for episodes to rewatch? I want to watch something fun and entertaining, but I can't decide which episodes to choose.

I rewatched Episode 38 (Superpower Special) recently and forgot how much fun the older episodes were 😂 The whole idea of everyone having their own “power” made the race feel so unpredictable, especially when they started figuring out how to use their abilities against each other.

Which member do you think used their power the best in this episode? I feel like the concept made everyone play a little differently, which is what made it so fun to watch.

question from returning watcher (i left the series around 600ish? between kwangsoo and somin leaving)

i have been catching up with some episodes from 2025 - 2026, and i dont know if its just me but,

the episodes from 2025 feels like home immediately, although the members are different, the flavor is the same, if not better

however the 2026 episodes feel so jarring to me - the games are simpler, and usually running members being smart, figured out optimal path early, or being unoptimal that losers have no comeback mechanism. there are less talks, and teams and matches are preset.

is it just me or i just need to be more open minded?

Thank you

• 11 - Yoo Jae Suk
• 39 - Kim Jong Kook
• 44 - Ji Ye Eun

Anyone know the song on episode 588 when their talking about So Min's outfit during the opening? I'm going crazy trying to find it.

Actress Song Ji Hyo is set to make a surprise appearance as Park Jin Young's adoptive mother in "100 Days of Deception".

Previously, in Episode 4 of the tvN weekend drama "100 Days of Deception", which aired on October 18, the missing adoptive mother of Kim Tae-woong/Sato Hideo (played by Park Jin Young) appeared in a flashback scene. Although this mysterious character was only captured from behind, their identity was immediately revealed as the voice "Did you come back safely?" could be heard. Netizens pointed out that it was Song Ji-hyo's voice shortly after the broadcast. Accordingly, Song Ji Hyo is expected to add a thrilling element to the unfolding plot as Park Jin Young's adoptive mother and the Korean wife of Jin Sun-kyu (playing Sato Shinichi).

In this regard, the production team of "100 Days of Deception" told StarNews on the 19th, "Please confirm through the broadcast," urging anticipation.
