Running Man Vietnam season 4 episode 2 delivers dramatic twist as Anh Tú Atus helps Gang X win

The second episode of Running Man Vietnam season 4 aired on 1 August 2026 under the theme “Negotiation of Life and Death.” The regular cast – Trấn Thành, Ninh Dương Lan Ngọc, Liên Bỉnh Phát, Quang Tuấn, Quang Trung, Quân A. P. and returning champion Anh Tú Atus – faced off against a guest gang called X, which included Steven Nguyễn, Tuấn Voi, Đại Bảo, Kim Dung and Quốc Anh. The two sides negotiated a 500 trillion‑dong ransom, with a series of physical and mental challenges determining whether the debt would be reduced.

During the games, Anh Tú Atus acted as a spy for Gang X, and the gang ultimately prevailed, cutting the family’s debt from 500 trillion to 226 trillion dong. Trấn Thành repeatedly complained about being “humiliated” throughout the challenges, adding a comedic element to the tense competition. After the broadcast, Anh Tú Atus posted a minimalist fashion photo series on his social media, further fueling audience discussion about his performance.

The episode’s twists and the high‑stakes ransom negotiation have kept viewers engaged, setting up uncertain dynamics for the next installments of the show.
