5 August 2014, Singapore – ONE, the home of Running Man in Asia, is delighted to announce the second season of Race Start in Singapore! After the incredibly successful run of the first season last year, ONE, together with the cast of Running Man, is ready to take the region by storm again, starting with Malaysia (Nov 1), followed by Singapore (Nov 29).
Since its premiere on ONE 3 years ago, the series has achieved its viewership foothold and has reigned as the No. 1 rated program across all pay TV channels in Singapore and Malaysia during its time belt.
This year, ONE will gather 5 members from the urban action variety show in Singapore, namely, Kim Jong Kook, HAHA (Ha Dong Hoon), Song Ji Hyo, Ji Suk Jin and the goofy Lee Kwang Soo. The fan meet will mark Lee’s first trip to Singapore with his fellow Running Man crew.
Fans can expect nothing less than an amazing night from the dynamic stage presence of the cast and hilarious banter between them. The 2 hour show will include an exciting and riveting mix of comedy and song performances by the singers among them. To make the evening even more memorable, fans will get to win opportunities to share the stage with the stars through interactive and specially tailored games.
“Following the resounding success and overwhelming response from last year, we have decided to bring ‘Race Start Season 2’ to a venue with a greater capacity, so more fans of Running Man can be part of the experience,” said Virginia Lim, Vice President, Asian Content, Networks, Asia, Sony Pictures Television.
