South Korean actor Jung Il Woo appeared as a special guest on the eighth episode of the variety show ‘Running Man Vietnam,’ which was themed ‘I am a Star.’ The episode featured an acting academy setting where participants, including guests Hari Won and Lê Xuân Tiền, competed for the title of ‘Star of the Year 2026.’

The competition included various challenges designed to test character analysis, role-playing, and improvisation, such as the ‘Unpredictable Roles’ team challenge and an individual task requiring contestants to shed real tears within two minutes. During the program, Jung Il Woo engaged in playful interactions with cast member Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc, teasing her about her acting being ‘not creative’ and ‘strange.’ Additional comedic moments occurred when cast members Trấn Thành and Anh Tú Atus volunteered to act as pets to assist Jung Il Woo during a role-playing scenario.

In the ninth episode, Jung Il Woo emerged victorious following a highly physical name-tag ripping game against host Trấn Thành. The confrontation resulted in minor injuries, with Jung Il Woo sustaining a small cut on his mouth that required medical attention, while Trấn Thành reported facial discomfort. The episode also featured a temporary alliance between Trấn Thành and his wife, Hari Won, which ended when Trấn Thành eliminated her from the game to allow her to rest. Jung Il Woo ultimately defeated Trấn Thành in the final round to secure the win.
