On the evening of January 22, the premiere of the movie Running Man Vietnam season 3: Freedom Puppet, took place in Ho Chi Minh City, gathering a large number of artists and audiences. The event marked the first time a reality TV show in Vietnam was produced in a film version and released widely in theaters.
Tran Thanh attracted attention as one of the central characters of the exchange. Along with stars including Lien Binh Phat, Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc, Quang Tuan, Anh Tu Atus, Quang Trung, Quan A.P and director Le Nhan, Tran Thanh continuously shared his feelings about the special journey with "Running Man season 3".
Sharing before the premiere, Tran Thanh said that he has more than 20 years of experience in the profession and at the present time, he only accepts programs that really make him interested. “The first days of filming were very tiring, I breathed like I was crawling. But later on I liked it more and more. “Running Man Vietnam” returned Tran Thanh to Tran Thanh. I would regret it very much if I didn't accept to participate this season,” the male MC said emotionally.
According to Tran Thanh, what makes him attached to the program is not only the games but also the team spirit and genuine emotions between the members. "It's been a long time since I had laughed so comfortably, ran and jumped, and was myself, without having to strain myself with any image," he shared.
In "Running Man Vietnam season 3: Freedom Puppet", Tran Thanh impressed with the image of a "sea cow" that is both humorous and approachable. Although he is no longer in the most energetic physical stage, he still participates fully in challenges, from strong exercise to tearing the name tag, bringing many moments of entertainment to the audience.
The 161-minute film is the final episode closing the journey of season 3 with a message about freedom. Through the challenges of Money - Talent - Beauty - Fame, Tran Thanh and the cast of stars send a message: people often tirelessly chase after success and forget the most important thing is to live true to themselves.
On the day of early release on January 22, although not officially released, the film reached nearly 6 billion VND in revenue and rose to the Top 1 box office on the day. This achievement is considered a positive sign, showing the special attraction of Tran Thanh in particular and the brand "Running Man Vietnam" in general.
Running Man Vietnam season 3: Freedom Puppet" will officially be released in theaters from January 24, 2026 nationwide.
