Yoo Jae-suk, HaHa, Jee Seok-jin, Kim Jong-kook, Song Ji-hyo, Jeon So-min, and Yang Se-chan came to the country to personally meet their fans here and entertain them for their one-night show.

Event host and content creator Kring Kim described hosting the fan meet as a “dream come true” moment for her.

“The fanmeet was supposed to end at 8:30pm but the members did an encore, an encore of the encore, and another encore of the encore of the encore. All in all, it ended at 9:20pm. The wait was truly worth it. Thank you, Running Man.”
