In episode 4 of the program "Running Man Vietnam 2026 - Run Now" just aired, members of Family R (fixed artists) - Tran Thanh, Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc, Lien Binh Phat, Anh Tu Atus, Quang Trung, Quan A.P, Quang Tuan - returned to the family's old house to visit their mother.
However, the mother suddenly could not speak normally but only made incomprehensible sounds. After trying to "translate" the mother's words, the members knew that the mother was craving a dish associated with youthful memories, which was also a condition for the mother to regain her voice.
The members are divided into 3 teams led by Tran Thanh, Lan Ngoc and Lien Binh Phat, the team that finds and brings food to their mother will win.
After that, 3 guests also appeared and were added to the teams. Actress Diem My 9X joined Lan Ngoc, Quang Trung, Quang Tuan's team. Female singer and actress Chi Pu joined Tran Thanh, Anh Tu's team. And actress Sam joined Lien Binh Phat, Quan A.P.'s team.
Notably, in this episode, the comeback of Lien Binh Phat's team caused many surprises and added more suspense to the races and challenges.
In task 1, teams receive maps including 8 challenging stations in Hoi An ancient town. Each station has a flag. Members must throw dice to move to the stations, complete the challenge and win the flag. The final number of flags will determine the quality of suggestions about mother's memories of food.
Right in the first task, Lien Binh Phat team was unlucky when they continuously came to the same stations that had been won by other teams. Not only that, after struggling to win 2 flags, they also drew lots, requiring them to give up the flag to 1 of the 2 opposing teams.
In the end, Lien Binh Phat team only ranked 3rd in task 1 when they had 1 flag in hand. Lan Ngoc team narrowly won against Tran Thanh team thanks to a lucky draw and won 4 flags.
But in the following task rounds, Lien Binh Phat led his team members to "come back" convincingly.
In quest 2 with the game "don't let the bridge fall", Lien Binh Phat team won 3 consecutive points. Notably, the star of "Song Lang" proved his ability when he dodged Quang Tuan and Lan Ngoc's bridges in decisive throws, thereby bringing overwhelming victory to his team.
Especially, in Task 3, it is Lien Binh Phat's "stage", making Running Man members admire.
This final task requires 3 teams to flip cats on a path across the pool, get items and then flip backwards.
With physical strength and real combat experience, Tran Thanh won the No. 1 position in the first round when competing with Quan AP, Lan Ngoc. But after that, Lien Binh Phat promoted his strength, helping his team win the top 1 in the other two rounds.
Lien Binh Phat's shining moment is most clearly shown in the 5th decisive round. He had to fight against 2 strong opponents, Tran Thanh and Quang Trung.
The actor impressed his teammates and opponents with his agility and flexibility; thereby winning 3 points to help his team achieve the final victory of task 3.
Episode 4 of Running Man Vietnam quickly attracted many discussions. Many opinions said that although Lien Binh Phat is famous as a "slightly funny" member, with few humorous lines or playful moves to stir up the atmosphere like Tran Thanh, Anh Tu... But the male actor is considered to be a person with outstanding strength, always enthusiastic in tasks and has subtle actions with his teammates.
