Choi Daniel Joins SBS Running Man as New Member

On April 6th (Sunday), SBS's popular variety show Running Man (런닝맨) will welcome actor Choi Daniel (최다니엘) as its newest member, marking his debut as part of the show's 'New Family.' Choi has recently gained attention for his unexpected charm and clumsiness as a guest on various entertainment programs, including SBS's Jungle Food 2 (정글밥2-페루밥), positioning him as a rising star in the variety scene.
In a humorous twist, members Yoo Jae-suk (유재석), Ha Ha (하하), and Yang Se-chan (양세찬) surprised Choi at his home under the pretense of filming his first day vlog. Choi's disheveled appearance, complete with messy hair, a scruffy beard, and half-closed eyes, left the members speechless, prompting Yoo Jae-suk to jokingly spray shaving cream on Choi's face, exclaiming, "Please wash up!" This playful moment has heightened curiosity about Choi's 'uncle' look, dubbed 'Choi-ssi' (최저씨).
The episode will feature a race called 'New Family's Bucket List,' where Choi must fulfill his wishes alongside the Running Man members. However, to secure the necessary funds for his dreams, they must complete a hidden mission and bring an unsuspecting Choi to the welcome party as quickly as possible. The time taken will determine the budget, but direct prompts like 'Hurry up, the budget is at stake' are off-limits, hinting at a challenging and entertaining episode ahead.
Catch the exciting debut of Choi Daniel on Running Man this Sunday at 6:10 PM KST.
