Running Man has officially hit a legendary milestone: 15 years on air and counting. The iconic SBS variety show continues to lead the game with unbeatable chemistry, evolving formats, and unmatched longevity.

🏁 From 2010 to 2025—A 759-Episode Legacy

Running Man first aired on July 11, 2010. Since then, it has become Korea's longest-running variety show, thanks to its signature blend of hilarious games and tight-knit cast dynamics.

The show reached a peak rating of 21.9% (Episode 133, "Nine Swords") and has now aired a staggering 759 episodes—the highest number among all Korean variety programs. And that number continues to grow every week.

📺 Still Thriving in the Streaming Era

Even in the age of OTT platforms, Running Man remains a fan favorite. Since 2020, the show has been named "Variety Show of the Year" on Wavve for four consecutive years. It also won the Brand Loyalty Award in the Weekend Variety category three years in a row.

Its global popularity led to co-productions overseas, including China's Keep Running (2013), Vietnam's version (2018), and the Philippines' adaptation (2022), proving the format's international appeal.

🌍 Dominating Social Media, Too

Running Man's digital presence is just as powerful. The show's official YouTube channel boasts 3.35 million subscribers, with its top video surpassing 36 million views. The official Instagram account has over 2.7 million followers, highlighting its continued relevance among younger fans.

🥳 15th Anniversary Episode to Air July 13

The cast recently filmed a special 15th-anniversary race to mark the occasion. Host Yoo Jae-suk shared, "It's thanks to the viewers' unwavering love that we've made it this far. We're deeply grateful."

Producer Choi Hyung-in added, "We've come this far because of your support. I hope Running Man can continue to thrive and someday celebrate its 20th and even 30th anniversary—like the 'National Diary' of Korean variety."
