For the first time, Running Man visits (invades) Jongkook’s house. The members work together to earn money for Jongkook and charity as a housewarming gift. How will the members fare when they aren’t running and instead playing apartment sized games?
The fans contributed ideas and wishes to the Running Man Vacation Service…a strange service where the members carry out the things the fans want to do or see…in the silliest possible way. Or the most childish way possible. Or the most…I think you get the point. *Use your announcer voice to read this…* Try out this no money down, no guaranteed Running Man Vacation service today!
There are so many Loona title tracks including solos and subunits, so, of course, it’s time to get ranking. Let’s get it!
Introducing AIRPORTS! Just kidding. Jeju Island is the destination for this trip and while it is a struggle for the members to arrive, they make the most of it. They cram a month’s worth of activities into one day…they have to. That’s the dinner mission for this Month on Jeju in a Day trip!
We’re back to talk about biases, but this time we’re kicking it a little more old school with disbanded groups. A lot of international kpop fans got into the genre in the last few years, so a lot of these groups may not be as familiar to you. So come on in and take a look, you might find a new favorite.
After months of work, we are finally presenting the top kpop girl groups of all time. This is a personal ranking, so we’re ignoring things like sales and industry impact here. So let’s take a deep dive in and see who ends up on the top.
The Take One Away Trip is underway. What is being taken away, you ask? One member at a time, of course. They disappear as the dread men in black take them to special tour courses after they meet the right conditions for it. Can they all gather in time to have a special feast? Will they ever be able to relax again?
There have been many kpop girl group debuts in the 10 years I’ve been listening to the genre, and then the question came up to me, what’s the greatest debut song of them all. We’re hear to answer that question once and for all… in the opinion of this one writer.
At least watch the beginning of this one. I beg you!
1st Division-Find the luckiest member race. The staff votes on a winner in each round which has a luck element. The staff that last until the end get a prize along with the winner. Concentration, physicality, quick wits, luck…and elan for balloon popping are all tested this week!
The men head out on a race to prove their filial natures in a battle between the good sons and the bad sons over the prospect of dinner. Now well fed, the men do a special princess relay in honor of family day and the area they are visiting (which translates to princess). Finally they face the hardest verse of their lives. Good luck, gentlemen! Family isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it.
It’s been a while since we talked about biases, so today we’re going over all of my biases for active girl groups. This is part 1 of a 2 part series where we’ll be exploring my biases for disbanded groups as well, so stay tuned in!
We all know the members have their rivalries. They bicker and banter. This week, they battle it out to resolve their differences once and for all. Guests Yuri and Hyoyeon of SNSD and the Judo twins, Cho Junho and Junhyn, join the cast with their own battles. The elder of each rivalry joins team A in a battle of pride! (...I mean, kinda. This is Running Man, after all)
This was the last trip with the beloved Bang Geulyi PD and Ravi, so the trip was meant as a well-wishing for both the members and the PD. Luck games and extra snacks abound. All the while a dreaded chain letter is making the rounds among the members…the member with the letter at the end faces a night sleeping outdoors without a tent and no breakfast! A touching twist had everyone, me included, shedding tears. Best wishes to Ravi and Bang PD as they move on to new horizons!
Everglow has not had a comeback in almost 2 years, so let’s take this downtime to rank the songs they have put out. Luckily they have a lot of great title tracks, so let’s dive right in.
Welcome to the world of Runningmon, where each team battles it out in the quest to catch all 10 Runningmon and fill their Runningdex! Park Gyeonghye, Byeon Wooseok, and Joo Woojae join the members as Runningmon to make the even 10. Who’s the best train…er…I mean…Runningmon catcher of them all?
For this week’s bonus article we’re doing the top non-Korean Kpop songs of the year, and there have been some pretty fantastic ones, so let’s check ‘em out
