Running Man Vietnam is a Vietnamese version of the Running Man program that has been produced for many seasons in Korea. This is a program with special appeal when staging attractive physical games with the participation of famous cast (artists).
Running Man Vietnam season 1 experienced an explosion in ratings, a program that was widely searched for during the social distancing period due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus of Running Man Vietnam season 1 is Tran Thanh and Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc.
Lan Ngoc and Tran Thanh are always considered two forces in demand in entertainment programs. At the time Running Man season 1 began, Tran Thanh and Lan Ngoc were covering all major programs. In Tran Thanh, he has humor, always knows how to lead and connect the members of the program. Tran Thanh is also considered a strong opponent due to his good physical strength and flexibility in games.
Lan Ngoc is the only female member of Running Man season 1, the actress plays a dedicated role and is not afraid of collisions with male members. In addition, Lan Ngoc also created a "loveline" (love trip) with many members such as Lien Binh Phat, Ngo Kien Huy.
In the cast of season 1 of Running Man, Lan Ngoc and Tran Thanh also affirmed the personal brand and outstanding appeal of entertainment stars.
Therefore, when the producer announced that there would be a season 3 of Running Man, the 2 most anticipated names were Tran Thanh and Lan Ngoc. Their cooperation always helps entertainment programs have high ratings.
Tran Thanh's absence in season 2 has caused Running Man to lose their appeal significantly. Season 2 is also controversial when the new faces show lackluster, lacking outstanding personal personalities.
In addition to Running Man, Lan Ngoc and Tran Thanh once worked together in the film project "Cua lai vo dau". The film achieved a record revenue at that time when it reached nearly 200 billion VND.
In recent years, Tran Thanh and Lan Ngoc have had few opportunities to collaborate, when Tran Thanh entered the field to produce and direct films, Lan Ngoc continued to invest most of her time playing game shows, participating in Sister Who Makes Wave.
When participating in producing and investing in films, Tran Thanh continues to be a new force at the box office. Tran Thanh has continuously released works with record revenue, which is difficult for anyone to surpass. Of which, the film Mai with a revenue of 550 billion VND - is currently the highest-grossing Vietnamese film of all time.
Tran Thanh also participated in hosting a series of major entertainment programs with strong influence such as Anh trai say hi, Em xinh say hi. Tran Thanh is considered the most attractive star in the entertainment industry today.
Meanwhile, Lan Ngoc rarely acted in films and participated in many entertainment game shows. She also entered the singing stage and formed the group LUNAS after the show Sister Who Makes Wave, however, Lan Ngoc was always criticized for her singing voice.
Participating in Running Man season 3 will extend Lan Ngoc's time playing game shows, and make her away from the film industry since her most recent project, "Girl from the past" in 2022.
