On September 5, “Running Man,” a South Korean variety TV show, will have an online fan gathering via TikTok, the world’s leading short-form mobile video platform. Since its debut in 2010, the SBS variety show “Running Man” has grown in popularity around the world. Running Man members have been visiting their fans in several countries with fan meet-ups and performances since 2013.
Running Man’s overseas fan meetings and performances have been populsar in many regions like Southeast Asia. Previous fan meetings have been successful such as the Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam event in December 2019 and the Manila fan meeting which had to be rescheduled due to the COVID 19 outbreak. However, despite the hurdles, the Manila fan meeting is still recognized as one of the best K-performances, selling out tickets within one hour of going on sale.
The “Running Man 2021 Online Fan Meeting” will be planned and produced by NP C&C, a subsidiary of NPInc., a brand experience content solutions company, and will be held at NP XR STAGE. The fan meeting will also be broadcasted live on the global short-form mobile video platform, TikTok.
Jay Bae, head of global business development at TikTok Korea told, “TikTok’s paid live feature was first introduced in May and we have received positive feedback as well as meaningful results afterwards, including Lotte Duty Free Online Family Concert, Beautiful Mint Life 2021, and FOREST 21 Epik High Concert. TikTok will continue to make efforts to provide better customer experiences to domestic and foreign users.”
