Last week’s new episode of 'Running Man' has gone viral — and not for the right reasons. With fewer games than fans expected, the broadcast left many disappointed and sparked a wave of mixed reactions.

The episode was uploaded on March 23, 2026, to the Running Man - SBS Official Channel. As soon as the video dropped, longtime fans flooded the comments with their takes, igniting a lively debate.

The opening sequence made a strong first impression as the members appeared on screen. However, as time went on, the dominant sentiment was that the game progression felt rushed.

Some viewers lamented, "You hyped us up, then ended after just one game. Was it so short you had to push the rest to the next episode?" Others added, "Personally, it was way too short compared to the build-up," noting that the story flow didn’t sustain interest for long.

This structure appears to reflect the broadcast schedule and production choices. At the same time, there were comments like, "Please bring back Jeon So-min. I miss her," showing the range of opinions among viewers.
