SBS PD Cho Hyo Jin informed MyDaily on the 5th, “BoA and composer Jung Jae Hyung are currently filming ‘Running Man’. This episode will be a ‘music fairy’ special, and we have invited a guest from each SBS program, ‘K-POP Star‘ and ‘YOU&I‘.”
“BoA said it was her first variety show appearance, but also stated that it was a lot of fun and she was very proactive,” he continued. “She is very competitive and lived up to her title as a World Star.”
Ahead of his statement, photos from the recent ‘Running Man’ shoot were revealed on various online community sites, and BoA was spotted among the cast members wearing her name tag.
BoA’s feature on ‘Running Man’ is extremely significant, as in the past, she has refrained from variety shows altogether. In 2010, she had officially announced that she would not be featuring on any variety programs, but once made a brief appearance on the ‘HaHa Mong Show‘ the same year.
