The long-running hit variety series Running Man held a fan meeting in Manila, which featured the seven members of the show’s beloved cast. This was before Jeon So Min decided to leave the show in order to focus on her acting career.

The popular variety show, which is now entering its 15th year on the air, has fans worldwide. The incredible bond between the cast members, the fun episodes that keep viewers on their toes, and the talented stars that make appearances keep fans tuning in, and it’s easy to see why. While the show is popular in Korea, it’s also garnered an impressive fanbase overseas, including passionate fans in the Philippines.

Running Man was initially set to host their fan meeting in the Phillippines in 2020 to celebrate its 10th anniversary, but it was postponed during the COVID pandemic. After three long years, Pinoy fans were finally able to enjoy a night of nostalgia, entertainment, and fun at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, which can seat 15,000-20,000 fans.

The cast members had fun on stage, making fans feel like they were on an episode of Running Man themselves as they played games, sang songs, and, of course, had iconic interactions among themselves.

The cast members actively engaged with fans, and their show, ended nearly an hour after the expected time as they spent extra time on stage entertaining fans.

Fans shared their experiences at the fan meeting on Twitter, and a common theme was how kind the cast members were, and it was frequently noted how personal Song Ji Hyo made the experience for those who attended.

The lovely actress and model took her time to pose for photos, take photos with fans’ phones, sit on the edge of the stage to get closer to fans, receive fan gifts, and was the last person to leave the stage after an already extended show.

Song Ji Hyo is known to be the queen of fan service, and she further carried on her title through her kind actions at the fan meeting. This is in contrast to her image on Running Man sometimes, where she can be seen much more relaxed, and sometimes even sleeping during the show.
