1. [+743, -23] I'm a college student in America and there is rarely a Chinese student who doesn't know about Running Man. Personally, I think the Chinese are right. They shouldn't produce a Chinese version but just put out the Korean one with Chinese subs the next day instead.

2. [+698, -34] The PDs are doing a good job with Running Man but I doubt the show would be popular without Yoo Jae Suk, Kim Jong Guk, Lee Kwang Soo, Haha, Song Ji Hyo, Gary, and Suk Jin hyung. The show had a rough start in the beginning until Yoo Jae Suk helped pick it up.

3. [+635, -38] They could reuse the show's format but the success behind the show lies in its cast

4. [+36, -1] I think Running Man is the most popular variety show overseas

5. [+32, -4] Running Man's all about the characters of the cast... Unless they use people with similar characters, it's going to hard to expect success.

6. [+28, -2] Running Man's only successful because of its cast... the format itself is pretty boring; there's nothing dynamic about it. The PDs should be grateful to the members.

7. [+26, -7] Well, 'Dad! Where are you going' has  a Chinese version that's doing #1 in viewer ratings so I guess Hallyu is still going strong

8. [+25, -1] The biggest difference between the original and the Chinese version will be Yoo Jae Suk

1. [+1,844, -46] Song Ji Hyo definitely seems to have broken up with her boyfriend

2. [+1,473, -48] Hul... are we going to get a random wedding announcement one day?

3. [+1,417, -66] Seems like they're dating ㅎㅎ Their love line was put on the backburner after articles about Song Ji Hyo dating her CEO turned up but now the love line is back, which either means they're dating or on the way...?? I personally hope they will

4. [+121, -6] Please, Dispatch

5. [+80, -6] I think Song Ji Hyo broke up with her boyfriend... Even if it's just a TV show, I doubt Gary's the type of person to talk about marriage like that with someone who has a boyfriend already
