Running Man's 'Lion Boys' Transformation Causes Public Mistake, Leads to Apology

SBS's popular variety show 'Running Man' is set to reveal an episode where the cast's outlandish transformations led to confusion among the public.

The upcoming broadcast on the 14th will feature a 'Straight Ahead As You Answered' race. Members are tasked with completing sentences derived randomly from their own survey responses. During this challenge, some cast members adopted a unique concept inspired by the popular animation 'K-Pop Demon Hunters', transforming into 'Lion Boys' with striking visuals that captured attention.

Yang Se-chan took on the role of styling Yoo Jae-suk in the 'Lion Boys' concept, with other members contributing to the head-to-toe makeover. The resulting looks were so unconventional that passersby failed to recognize the cast members, mistaking them for strange individuals and even stepping back in surprise. Faced with this reaction, the members pleaded with the staff to stay close with the cameras and penned a public apology letter to the 'Lion Boys', eliciting laughter.

Viewers can tune in to 'Running Man' this Sunday at 6:10 PM KST to discover the dramatic difference between the cast's aspirations and the reality of their 'Straight Ahead As You Answered' race, and see just how wild their transformations became.

Yoo Jae-suk is a leading MC in South Korea, fronting the long-running and beloved show 'Running Man'.

His quick wit and engaging commentary are central to the program's success, and he has a prolific career across various variety shows.

He recently gained significant popularity for his character 'Yoo Doo-dragon' in 'What Do You Play?'.
