Looks like fans’ wishes to see more of the elusive Ji Chang Wook on variety shows have finally come true!

Ji Chang Wook is set to appear as a guest on the popular SBS variety show “Running Man.”  He will be heading to Taiwan for filming from 11 to 12 August, and was already spotted filming this afternoon in and around Incheon with Lee Kwang Soo (a regular cast member on “Running Man”).

Teams A & B:  Kim Jong Kook, JCW, Lee Kwang Soo, Ailee and Gary

Ji Chang Wook is an ordinary person. Of course, we are not talking about his looks here. Even though Ta Hwan was not an easy character to empathise with, Ji Chang Wook was strong and was never once swayed because of Ta Hwan. This sense of balance is acquired through constant hard work.
