According to Blossom Entertainment agency, they have mentioned actor Song Joong Ki will be making his appearance in the Chinese version Running Man in China. 
It has been confirmed that Song will be participate in the Korea-China joint-venture performing arts for the episode 'Hurry Up Brother'- 奔跑吧兄弟. The filming has already taken place in Yongsan, Seoul.

In October 2014, the first broadcast of Hurry Up Brothers ratings have exceeded 5% through the 'Dream Audience' in China and has established as one of the performing arts show in the country.

SBS and China's Zhejiang Television has collaborated together to co-produce the Chinese version of Running Man. Prior to SBS's announcement of filming Hurry Up Brother, the Season 4 crew have arrived in Seoul on 18th April and have already started filming everywhere.

The shooting location took place in Gyeonggi-do featuring Chinese artists Deng Chao, Wong Cho Lam, Li-Chen, Chen He, Zheng Kai, Luhan and Angelababy.


Season 4 members from the original Korean version of Running Man- emcee Yoo Jae Suk, Ji Suk Jin, Kim Jong Kook, Haha, Gary, Lee Kwang Soo and Song Ji Hyo played a game together with the Chinese team. With Song Joong Ki appearing for this special episode, news were all over the place with excitement whether one can catch a glimpse of the handsome actor. However Song's appearance will be featured in the Chinese version and no original RM members are in it.

SBS does not intend to promote anything on the drama Descendants of the Sun because it was aired through KBS station. SBS also has rejected the proposal of organizing this show.
Ironically Song Joong Ki was one of the original cast member in Running Man program. It was planned for him to return to the program after he finishes his military services last year. Previous PD Im Hyung Taek of the RM invited Song since now he looks at the overall of Chinese version Running Man.

Now that Song will be appearing in Hurry Up Brother, it will be a stepping stone for the actor to promote more in China from his big fame from Descendants of the Sun. It is expected to receive great response from fans and viewers for our dear Captain Yoo appearing in a variety program for the first time.
