Where to Watch Running Man in 2025?

While Netflix’s international viewers still wait to watch the latest episodes of Running Man, there are other ways to catch the new installments of the show. Running Man is on Viki with English subtitles. However, older episodes have been deleted from Viki, so it could be more difficult to access the episodes from past years on the drama app.

In 2025, Running Man has released two episodes, one on January 5 and the next on January 12. Popular K-drama actor Kang Hoon appeared as the guest on the year’s first show. The show’s theme was “resolve to part ways with 2024.” The nostalgic episode had no winner but a touching theme that made viewers emotional.

The episode title is “I’m Sending You A Team Kill,” fans suspect it will have some significant twists and turns and a few casual betrayals, making it even more intriguing.
