PH Runners get ready as the hit South Korean variety show Running Man members are returning to Manila this July 6 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.

Local concert promoter PULP Live World announced on their social media pages the upcoming “Run 2 U: Running Man Live in Manila” event, where the members personally invited their fans in a very Filipino way.

“Handa na ba kayo, Philippine Runners! We are Running Man!” they greeted in an artificial intelligence (AI) generated video.

“Magkita ulit tayo sa PH. Tanda niyo pa ba talaga? Nakabalik na kami. Nakatakdang magkita sa inyong lahatan,” veteran host and comedian Yoo Jae Suk said.

Singer and host Kim Jong-kook also recalled the energetic and heartwarming welcome of the fans from their first visit last year.

“Yep yep! Ang inyong enerhiya at pag-ibig at sa mga bagay na naririnig namin. Malakas na sigaw, sobrang namimiss (namin) kaya nagprepare kami,” he added.

“Magkita-kita tayo muli! Fighting!” they said in chorus, ending their invitation to fans.

All six members of the variety program were present in the video, including other cast members such as Haha, Jee Seok-jin, Song Ji-hyo, and Yang Se-chan.

Running Man first visited the country last April 2023 for their fan meeting after almost three years since its postponement due to the pandemic and lockdown back in 2020.

“We know you’ve been waiting for us for such a long time, and we would sincerely like to thank everyone! We heard your tickets are starting to fade since a lot of time has passed but a lot of you are waiting together until the day that we can all meet. For that, we wholeheartedly thank everyone once again,” Yoo Jae-suk shared in the previous video greeting.
