Why Did Song Joong Ki Choose to Appear on the Chinese Version of “Running Man” First?

Why Did Song Joong Ki Choose to Appear on the Chinese Version of “Running Man” First?

As reported previously, actor Song Joong Ki will be participating in the filming for “Hurry Up Brother,” the Chinese version of “Running Man,” at a duty free shop in Seoul, Korea.

“Hurry Up Brother” is currently filming a special Korea episode and they even filmed with the Korean “Running Man” members on April 18.

Song Joong Ki’s appearance on the show is expected to be one of the highlights of the episode as the actor has been enjoying incredible popularity from his role in “Descendants of the Sun” and fans have been wondering what program he would appear in after the end of the drama.

Although his appearance in “Running Man” is somewhat expected due to his past as a fixed member of the Korean cast and his well-known friendship with current “Running Man” member Lee Kwang Soo, fans are curious as to why he decided to appear in the Chinese version first, before the Korean one.

Song Joong Ki’s agency, Blossom Entertainment, explained, “We had received a request for appearance from ‘Hurry Up Brother’ a long time ago so it is something we’ve been discussing for a while” and “we decided on his appearance to follow up on our loyalty and close relationship with PD Im Hyung Taek from [Song Joong Ki's] ‘Running Man’ days.” PD Im Hyung Taek is the former producer of the Korean “Running Man” who now supervises the Chinese version.

Some are saying this is a move aimed at reaching the Chinese market, following the huge popularity of “Descendants of the Sun” in China. Whatever the reason, it looks like Song Joong Ki’s appearance in the “Hurry Up Brother” will become a steppingstone for his further advancement as a Hallyu star, as he has already reached megastar status in Korea and the rest of Asia as well.

Although there may have been many scheduling and production-related reasons, fans can’t help but wonder if the episode would have been more effective and synergetic had Song Joong Ki reunited with his old Korean “Running Man” buddies through “Hurry Up Brother.”

Do you think Song Joong Ki will be appearing in the Korean version any time soon?

Song Joong-ki’s Other Bromance is with ‘Running Man’ Actor Lee Kwang Soo

Song Joong-ki and Lee Kwang Soo

Actor Jin Goo may be the latest bromance of Song Joong-ki after the “Descendants of the Sun” actor posted on Monday their photo like they are about to kiss.

Of course, the two were just having fun, but at a recent fan meet, the actor who played Yoo Si Jin revealed his real best friend-cum-bromance partner is another actor, Lee Kwang Soo, who was Song’s co-actor in another Korean drama “Running Man,” aired over SBS.

Their close friendship started in 2010. At that time they were the youngest members of “Running Man.” Song disclosed that among his close friends, it is Lee who had made him cry.

Song recalled that when he entered the South Korean Army as part of the two-year compulsory service for all males, at that time his older brother had gotten married. Lee went to his family house in Daejeon and acted like he was the family’s second son, including posing with more than 1,000 fans.

After 100 days in the army, Song came home for a break and saw a video of Lee fulfilling his obligation with the fans which made the vacationing soldier teary eyed, reported Soompi.

Song left “Running Man” in 2011, but the following year the two BFFs starred in “The Innocent Man” of KBS 2TV. Lee also had a cameo appearance in “Descendants of the Sun.”

Drama Fever, another Korean entertainment website, confirmed that Song and Lee were bromance partners for a long time now. However, on screen, Song had Yoo Ah In as his bromance partner in “Sungkyungkwan Scandal.”
