Actor Gongmyung, mentioned as a candidate for a temporary member on 'Running Man', also spoke about the income gap between himself and his younger brother, NCT's Doyoung.
The episode airing on the 17th on SBS 'Running Man' will feature a tense payment race where participants must make as many payments as possible within a limited budget.
In this episode, actor Gongmyung, who has been making a strong impact in the recent drama 'Secret Audit', will appear as a guest. The drama 'Secret Audit' follows the thrilling close-proximity audit romance between Joo-won (played by Shin Hye-sun), a charismatic audit manager with a secret, and Noh Gi-jun (played by Gongmyung), an audit ace who was suddenly demoted to the position of handling internal misconduct (PM). Since its broadcast, the series has been making headlines by continuously breaking its own highest viewership ratings.
In particular, Gongmyung has drawn further attention as it is known that the 'Running Man' production team is eyeing him as a temporary member. Last month, Gongmyung appeared on Kim Jong-kook's YouTube channel and confirmed that there is a possibility of him becoming a temporary member, even arranging a live phone call with the production team on the spot, which became a topic of discussion. It remains to be seen whether Gongmyung will join 'Running Man' as the next temporary member.
Additionally, when Gongmyung's younger brother, NCT member Doyoung, was mentioned, Ji Seok-jin asked, "Who earns more, you or your younger brother?" Gongmyung immediately replied, "My younger brother." He then added, "In our house, we call him 'Boss'," showcasing his witty humor.
The 'Secret Payment' race, where a single choice determines victory or defeat, can be seen on 'Running Man' airing on Sunday at 6:10 PM on the 17th.
