Disney+ Coming to South Korea In November 2021

Disney+ is coming to South Korea soon and they are using a popular South Korean show to help launch it:

A spin-off of long-running South Korean television show “Running Man” is among the Korean originals to be released on Disney+ after the service’s launch in the country on Nov. 12, its operator said Thursday.

“Outrun by Running Man,” the first official spin-off of the SBS TV variety show, will star three members of the show’s original cast — Kim Jong-kook, Haha and Jee Seok-jin, the Walt Disney Company said during an Asia-Pacific content showcase of the streaming service. 

But the original show’s main cast member Yoo Jae-suk will not participate in the spin-off series.

“Running Man,” which revolves around emcees and guests competing with each other to complete missions at a landmark in Seoul, has been hugely popular for over a decade in Korea and other Asian countries.
