While this yet another postponement is unfortunate, the "Running Man" cast and crew states that their priority is everyone's safety and health, hoping that all the countries will flatten the curve.
Concluding the message, "Running Man" assures to provide their best in their forthcoming shows.
"December 6, 2020! We hope you'll be healthy and safe 'til then," the message ended.
The South Korean variety program has an immense amount of Filipino supporters. The show's hosts are Yoo Jae Suk, Ji Suk Jin, Kim Jong Kook, Ha Ha, Song Ji Hyo, Lee Kwang Soo, Jeon So Min, and Yang Se Chan.
