No. 1 in entertainment ratings including all channels in the Philippines

'Running Man', which is very popular in Asia, started an overseas co-production project in 2019 and launched 'Running Man Vietnam' seasons 1 and 2, and in 2022, 'Running Man Philippines' season 1 will be released at the same time slot from the first broadcast. It has established itself as the undisputed leader in K-entertainment, ranking first in viewership ratings.

'Running Man Philippines' Season 2, which was introduced this year, was produced with a total of 36 episodes under the theme of 'Winter is coming', and all episodes were pre-filmed in Korea to convey the winter of Korea's major landmarks to Filipino viewers.

Armed with more powerful laughs and attractions than Season 1, 'Running Man Philippines' Season 2 was broadcast on GMA, the number one terrestrial channel in the Philippines, from its first broadcast in May to its final broadcast on September 8, garnering an average viewership rating of 11.4% and the highest viewership rating. It recorded 13.5%, showing off its reputation as not only the No. 1 entertainment show in its time slot, but also the No. 1 entertainment show including all channels in the Philippines.

Producer Ahn Cheol-ho, who participated in this co-production project, said, "When filming the horror experience of cold weather at an abandoned school in Hongseong, Gangwon-do, Filipino celebrities who experienced the cold of minus 20 degrees for the first time said, 'It was an experience they could never forget in their lives.'" “I was worried that Filipino viewers would get bored because we had to film everything in Korea just like in Season 1, but I think showing winter in Korea greatly appealed to Filipino viewers,” he said.
