Running Man (Korean)

Keep Running (Chinese: 奔跑吧; pinyin: Bēnpǎo Ba), previously known as Running Man China, or Hurry Up, Brother (Chinese: 奔跑吧兄弟; pinyin: Bēnpǎo Ba Xiōngdì) before 2017, is a Chinese variety show broadcast on ZRTG: Zhejiang Television.[1][2] It is a spin-off from the popular original South Korean variety show Running Man by SBS.[3] It was first aired on 10 October 2014. The show is classified as a game-variety show, where the MCs and guests complete missions at a landmark to win a race.

Program name

When the show was first announced, it was known as "跑男" or "Running Man" in Chinese. Programs on the Zhejiang TV channel required names with five Chinese characters (words),[4] hence the program was then renamed to "奔跑吧兄弟" or "Hurry Up, Brother". But, before the official name changed, ZRTG had registered "跑男" as a trademark with the SAIC.[5]

Episode style

撕名牌 or "Nametag Elimination" is one of the highlights of each episode and is usually the longest game. There are also many games played by the MCs and guests that often contribute to their result for the final mission.

The team that wins the final mission will receive a prize, usually related with the theme for the episode. However, even if a team wins most of the games, victory is not guaranteed (for example in Season 1 Episode 2, Deng Chao did not win many games but the other teams who had won did not make the right choices of switching the waters, therefore causing their team to win).

Personnel

Main article: List of Keep Running cast members

Cast

The original members of Running Man are Deng Chao, Angelababy, Li Chen, Chen He, Zheng Kai, Wong Cho-lam, and Wang Baoqiang.

After season 1, Wang Baoqiang recorded his last episode and left the program to focus on his career but returned on season 3, episode 10 as a guest.

In season 2, Bao Bei'er was a replacement for Wang Baoqiang but left at the end of the season as he was cast in Stephen Chow's Journey to the West II.

Singer Lu Han then replaced Bao Bei'er from season 3 onwards.

Dilraba Dilmurat replaced Angelababy in season 5 due to Angelababy's pregnancy. Due to scheduling conflicts, Dilraba left the show in season 6.

For season 7, Deng Chao, Chen He and Lu Han left due to scheduling conflicts, while Wong Cho-Lam left to focus on his family. Lucas from South Korean boy group NCT and its Chinese unit WayV, Song Yuqi from South Korean girl group (G)I-dle and actors Zhu Yawen and Wang Yanlin replaced them in the new season.

List of episodes

If more than one set of teams are used other than the Race Mission teams, they are divided and distinguished to the corresponding mission under Teams. Team members are listed in alphabetical order from Team Leader to Members, to Guests. As some episodes consisted of road missions and were not confined to a single landmark nor was a landmark officially recognized on-air, the landmark shown for those episodes is the final mission venue.
