MBN's 30th anniversary special project 'You must run to live' will feature former LABOUM member Yulhee and singer Ahn Seong-hoon.
The 'You must run to live' project (hereinafter referred to as 'You Run') captures the journey of stars from various fields overcoming their wounds and limits as they face their first marathon, each carrying their own heartfelt stories.
'You must run to live' is a harrowing self-growth story of beginner runners. With the first broadcast set for April 19 at 8:20 p.m., Shawn, known as the 'marathon donation angel,' and Lee Yong-pyo have been selected as the leaders of the 16 beginner runners known as the 'You Run Crew.' Former national marathon athlete and current director of the film '1947 Boston,' Kwon Eun-joo, has been appointed as the director of the 'You Run Crew,' while the coaching staff includes Lee Yeon-jin, a former professional athlete and winner of the Chuncheon Marathon (tactical coach), Go Han-min, who holds the record for celebrities in marathons (pacemaker coach), and Shim Eud-deum, the top fitness creator in the country (fitness coach).
The hosts who will relay the marathon challenges of the 'You Run Crew' are Bae Sung-jae and Yang Se-hyung. The two plan not only to cover the marathon but also to participate in the 'You Run Crew's training sessions, bringing them positive energy.
The first member of the 'You Run Crew' to challenge the marathon under their guidance is Heo Jae, known as the 'basketball president.' Heo has an unparalleled record, including seven championships and three MVP titles in the basketball festival, two championships in the Korean Basketball League, and being the only runner-up team in professional basketball history, where he also won the MVP in the championship match. After his retirement, Heo has enjoyed much love appearing in various entertainment programs as a basketball coach.
According to OSEN's coverage, Yulhee and Ahn Seong-hoon have been selected as members to join the 'You Run Crew' alongside Heo Jae. Yulhee recently shared her current exercise status, generating anticipation. Having lost weight to the 40 kg range, Yulhee aims to take on the marathon with a strong desire to stand proudly as a mother of three.
'You must run to live' has drawn attention as it is the first entertainment project selected by Yulhee since revealing her ex-husband Choi Min-hwan's allegations of visiting establishments. After divorcing Choi Min-hwan in 2023, Yulhee disclosed recordings containing allegations about his visits on her YouTube channel last year. She has filed a mediation request for custody and property division regarding her children with Choi Min-hwan. Afterward, Yulhee signed an exclusive contract with the new management, High Beam Studio, and transitioned to acting, landing a role in the new drama 'My Partner is a Devil.'
Ahn Seong-hoon rose to stardom after achieving first place on TV CHOSUN's 'Mr. Trot 2.' He debuted in 2012, having engaged in various activities, but left with regrets after his first attempt on 'Mr. Trot.' After re-challenging himself on 'Mr. Trot 2,' he reached the pinnacle of fame. Ahn Seong-hoon is currently active in various entertainment programs and stages, meeting fans. Motivated by the desire to maintain his family's health, including his mother who has been fighting diabetes for 20 years and his father suffering from joint diseases, he is challenging the marathon.
As a mother of three, Yulhee and Ahn Seong-hoon have both thrown down the gauntlet to challenge the marathon with a strong desire to protect their family's health. Their challenge, featured in MBN's 30th anniversary special project 'You must run to live,' will premiere on April 19 at 8:20 p.m.
