Running Man


Sooo Running Man decided to add in two more members.

The immature side of me:

I'll be totally honest though, I, as a fan of Running Man ever since it started airing, is against this decision. Adding two new members with the excuse that “the episodes they aired in had a spike in ratings” made it worse. So what? Are they blaming the original members for not being interesting enough? Can't they realize that the reason Running Man had been dropping is due to the producer’s boring concepts and ideas. Heck, these days I'm watching Running Man was out of loyalty. I couldn't care less what they do, I only care about their interactions with each other. While Running Man is not doing well in South Korea, it is still internationally recognised, especially in Asia. And why, why is it still popular internationally? Let me tell you why. It's because fans are loyal to 7012. 7012 ONLY. Besides the JiHyo bias me is very unsettled with the addition of another female member. Call me childish, but this means that JiHyo will no longer be the “princess” of Running Man. She will be “rivalled” with the new female member. KwangSoo would no longer be our Giraffe maknae. And what? Are they going to push for another Monday Couple? *rolls eyes*

 

You know what they really must do? in fire the current PD and bring back the original PDs. There's no reason for the staffs to add in new members. Some might agree with me, some might disagree. So I will make it clear, this is only MY view. I do not represent anyone except myself. There goes my respect for the Running Man staffs and the officials in SBS. I swear if the ratings doesn't rise after the addition of the two members, I'm totally dropping Running Man. I'll just looks for clips of the original members. But of course it doesn't mean that I will drop writing stories about Running Man. Those who have other opinions are allowed to comment of course.

 

The mature side of me:

Perhaps the addition of new members might not be bad also. With a new female member, maybe, just maybe, JiHyo will have a partner in crime to “bully” the oppas since female power!! I can't comment much on the new male member since I have not watch his episode, but SBS better be in right on their decision to add him. Maybe it will really increase the ratings who knows. I'm just thankful that they are not cancelling the show completely since the inner Running Man fan is absolutely not ready to part with Running Man. However, SBS officials better not up and fire JongKook and JiHyo later just like how they had planned to earlier in the year. And I know this is selfish, but I'd rather not see the two new members when they are having a fanmeeting/concert in my country. But at the end of day, my percentage of new members joining to sticking to the current members is 40%:60%.

 

7012 FIGHTING!

Omy how come Ive only heard this now? Is that really happening? I totally agree with you. I dont think it's a good idea to add more members :( and with what you said, "Heck, these days I'm watching Running Man was out of loyalty." Cant agree more...... I miss the old RM with the old PDs. Huhuhu
A new female member other than Jihyo unnie? No please :( hopefully it'll be someone easily likeable and not an annoying person xD
Who are the new members btw?

I wish the new members would have been multiple times in the show before, like Lizzy (God I love Lizzy) or Dong Wan... Dong Wan would be perfect! I loved him. And Joong Ki could make a comeback, at least as a guest!

I haven't followed at all and I don't know if they already chose the new members. (And I'm in the episode 88 so I'm much left behind!)
