Running Man Vietnam is the Vietnamese adaptation of the multi-season Korean show Running Man. It's a particularly popular program featuring engaging physical challenges and a cast of famous celebrities.

Running Man Vietnam Season 1 achieved explosive ratings and was a hugely popular show during the social distancing period due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The focal points of Running Man Vietnam Season 1 were Tran Thanh and Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc.

Lan Ngoc and Tran Thanh are often considered two of the most sought-after stars in entertainment programs. When Running Man season 1 began, Tran Thanh and Lan Ngoc were dominating major shows. Tran Thanh possesses a great sense of humor and always knows how to lead and connect the show's members. He's also considered a strong contender due to his excellent physical fitness and stamina in the games.

Lan Ngọc was the only female member of Running Man season 1. The actress played with great enthusiasm and wasn't afraid of confrontations with the male members. In addition, Lan Ngọc created "lovelines" with several members such as Liên Bỉnh Phát and Ngô Kiến Huy.

In the cast of season 1 of Running Man, Lan Ngoc and Tran Thanh further solidified their personal brands and the outstanding appeal of entertainment stars.

Therefore, when the producers announced a third season of Running Man, the two most anticipated names were Tran Thanh and Lan Ngoc. Their collaboration always helps entertainment programs achieve high ratings.

Tran Thanh's absence from season 2 significantly reduced Running Man's appeal. Season 2 also sparked controversy due to the lackluster performances of the new faces, who lacked distinct personalities.

Besides Running Man, Lan Ngoc and Tran Thanh also collaborated on the film "Cua Lai Vo Bau" (Getting Back My Pregnant Wife). The film achieved record-breaking revenue at the time, reaching nearly 200 billion VND.

In recent years, Tran Thanh and Lan Ngoc have had fewer opportunities to collaborate, as Tran Thanh has ventured into film production and directing, while Lan Ngoc continues to invest most of her time in game shows and participating in "Beautiful Sister Riding the Wind".

When it comes to film production and investment, Tran Thanh continues to be a new force at the box office. Tran Thanh has consistently released films that have achieved record-breaking box office revenue, making it difficult for anyone to surpass him. Among them, the film "Mai," with a revenue of 550 billion VND, is currently the highest-grossing Vietnamese film of all time.

Tran Thanh He also hosts a series of major, widely popular entertainment programs such as "Brother Says Hi" and "Beautiful Girl Says Hi." Tran Thanh is considered the most charismatic star in the entertainment industry today.

Meanwhile, Lan Ngoc acted in fewer films and participated in more entertainment game shows. She also ventured into singing, forming the girl group LUNAS after the show "Beautiful Sisters Riding the Waves," however, Lan Ngoc was always criticized for her singing voice.

Joining Running Man season 3 will extend Lan Ngọc's time in game shows and distance her from the film industry since her last project, "The Girl from the Past," in 2022.
