In a surprising reveal, comedian Yang SeHyeong has officially joined the cast of the MBN Korean variety show “Running to Live in Sydney,” with his ambitious goal set on completing the Sydney Marathon. The announcement was made during the broadcast on November 10, 2025, where fellow cast member Sean introduced Yang as the team’s secret new addition, adding a fresh dynamic to the group of celebrity runners.
A Surprise Addition to the Celebrity Runners
Yang SeHyeong’s entry into the running crew was a well-kept secret until fellow member Sean unveiled him to the rest of the team. Yang explained that his decision came after serving as a commentator for the show. Watching the other members’ dedication and journey ignited a strong desire within him to transition from the sidelines to the racetrack. He expressed a powerful urge to participate directly as a runner rather than just observing.
He joins a diverse lineup of celebrity runners, including Sean, former national soccer player Lee YoungPyo, actor Go HanMin, Golden Child’s Lee JangJun, rapper Sleepy, and former LABOUM member YulHee. Under the guidance of director and marathon coach Kwon EunJoo, the cast is training to become “real runners.” The show highlights the various challenges and personal growth stories of its cast, showcasing the wide range of talent in the Korean entertainment world. Many stars often branch into different fields, much like the successful careers of the actors from hit dramas, which can be seen in The Heirs Cast: Where Are They Now?.
Yang SeHyeong’s Personal Connection to Running
For Yang SeHyeong, running is more than just a physical activity; it’s a practice deeply connected to a pivotal moment in his life. He shared that he first started running at the age of 26, shortly after completing his mandatory military service. This period coincided with the cancellation of the popular comedy program “People Looking for Laughter” (“Utchatsa”), which left him facing a difficult and uncertain time in his career. Running became his outlet and a method to overcome personal hardship, making his participation in this new challenge particularly meaningful.
Commitment to the Sydney Marathon
Now, Yang SeHyeong is ready to take on his biggest running challenge yet: his first-ever full marathon. His goal is to cross the finish line at the prestigious Sydney Marathon, which is not only one of the world’s major marathons but was also the grand prize for the winners of the show’s first season. Demonstrating his unwavering resolve, Yang declared his commitment to the team, stating he would finish the race “even if I have to crawl.” His determination adds another compelling storyline to this popular Korean variety show, as viewers will watch to see if his personal history with running will fuel his journey to conquer the Sydney Marathon.
