Running Man is experiencing a crisis. Ratings in their home country of Korea have dropped - and continue to decline - significantly over the past 2 years. However, it is an inevitable result when the program has gone through more than 400 episodes.
Producers face many issues including the challenge of finding ideas and games, the cast is so familiar with the role that is well defined that the audience can easily predict. In fact, the actors themselves are getting older and sometimes injured, unable to keep up with the movement games.

Keep Running is filming season 7. The show has a roster change with the addition of some new faces, such as Lucas (WayV).
Regardless of that, the playground retains the heat among the international fan community. Even when China and Vietnam recently bought the copyright, the public also paid a lot of attention.
Building on the success of the original, the show attracted a lot of attention when it aired in China. First aired on October 10, 2014, Keep Running (Chinese version of Running Man) has gone through 6 seasons but always ranked first in broadcasts of the same time frame.
Season 2 of 2015, the 12 episodes of the show were always at the rating of 4.3%, even with 2 episodes reaching over 5%. This is a staggering number, with Chinese programs often reaching just over 1% being considered successful. Season 6 of 2018, although the program did not keep up the performance, the achievement still reached 1.4% to 2.29%.
