Kian84 Recruits Running Crew for New Variety Show 'Ultimate Challenge 84'!

MBC's new variety show 'Ultimate Challenge 84' is generating buzz with the release of its preview video, announcing the search for Kian84's running crew.

In the video, Kian84 reflects on his past marathon attempts, stating, "It's been 3 years since I seriously started running." Following the 2023 Cheongju Marathon and the 2024 New York Marathon, he announced his challenge to a new marathon after a year's break. This time, he's not running alone and is actively seeking 'running mates' to join him, raising curiosity about who his new partners will be.

He highlighted the benefits of running, including weight loss, improved fitness, better skin, and mental well-being, asserting, "There's nothing bad about running." He humorously added, "Wouldn't national competitiveness also increase if many people run?"

Kian84 explained that running enhances blood circulation to the brain, facilitating better conversations and fostering a new culture where people connect through shared hobbies and common ground. He expressed a particular desire to see young men and women forming running crews, joking about how dating apps might have failed in the US because of it, eliciting laughter.

He hopes for crew members who are either stronger runners than himself or individuals he can help improve. "Even if you can only complete 5km, if you have the will to run and the desire to run well, that's enough," he emphasized, seeking participants with passion.

Kian84 mentioned hearing that many people started running after watching him. He aspires for 'Ultimate Challenge 84' to inspire those who are beginning their running journey or are already active runners. He urged viewers to apply, genuinely wishing for more people to discover the joys of running through the program.

Kian84's transformation from an 'extreme runner' to a 'runner who shares challenges' has further amplified anticipation for the show. MBC's 'Ultimate Challenge 84' is set to premiere on Sunday, the 30th, at 9:10 PM KST.

Korean netizens are expressing excitement, commenting things like, "Kian84's passion for running is amazing," "Looking forward to seeing who his new running mates will be," and "I want to run with him too!" The program is receiving a lot of attention.
