Running Man Vietnam 2026 special draws massive fan turnout and box‑office success

The press conference for the Running Man Vietnam 2026 special episode “Chúa tể thời gian” was held on 11 July in Ho Chi Minh City. The event featured the main cast – Ninh Dương Lan Ngọc, Liên Bỉnh Phát, Quang Tuấn, Quang Trung, Anh Tú Atus, Võ Điền Gia Huy and guests Khả Như – while Trấn Thành was absent. Red‑carpet appearances highlighted Lan Ngọc’s bright new look and Khả Như’s youthful style, prompting extensive online commentary.

The film version, shot in Bà Nà, ran for 125 minutes and was released in cinemas ahead of the TV broadcast scheduled for 24 July. Within two days it earned over 4 billion VND, ranking in the top three daily box‑office and reaching around 5 billion VND by 12 July, with roughly 4,900 tickets sold across 770 screenings. A watch‑party sold out on the same day, and fans arrived hours early to meet the cast. During the event, Võ Điền Gia Huy jokingly described his fear of Trấn Thành’s intense presence on the show, likening it to a “container truck” barreling toward him.
