MAMAMOO's Hwasa and DAY6's Young K are set to appear on SBS variety Running Man.
On the 1st, a Running Man representative told multiple outlets, "The two recently joined a recording of Running Man." Their episode is scheduled to air on the 12th.
Hwasa has appeared on Running Man in the past with MAMAMOO, but this will be her first time as a solo artist. Known for her candid, down-to-earth charm across stages and shows, she's expected to light up the set with her natural variety instincts once again.
This marks Young K's first-ever appearance on Running Man, both as a band member and as a soloist. After primarily promoting with DAY6, he recently joined tvN variety Amazing Saturday as a fixed cast member, showing off his variety chops. Anticipation is already high for what new sides he'll reveal this time.
Meanwhile, Running Man has recently faced backlash over member Song Ji-hyo's limited screen time. Because she was mostly shown in group shots or reaction cuts, a "background prop" controversy erupted. Some voices even called for her to step down, further fueling the fire.
