'Running Man' cast shows off 'fluent Tagalog skills' with use of AI

“Running Man” in their Pinoy era!

On social media, Pulp Live World shared a video of “Running Man” members Yoo Jae Seok, Jee Seok Jin, Kim Jong Kook, Haha, Song Ji Hyo, and Yang Se Chan "speaking" in Tagalog to invite their beloved fans in their “Run 2 U” show in Manila in July.

But here’s the catch, the members used AI technology to speak fluently!

“Magkita ulit tayo sa PH. Tanda niyo pa ba talaga? Nakabalik na kami. Nakatakdang makipagkita sa inyong lahat,” Yoo Jae Seok said.

“Yan yan! Inyong enerhiya at pag-ibig. At sa mga bagay na naririnig namin, malakas na sigaw, sobrang namimiss kaya nag-prepare kami,” Jong Kook added.

Meanwhile, Jee Seok Jin went on to invite their fans and said, “Lahat tayo sa 2024, Sabado ika-sais ng Hulyo. Magkita-kita tayo sa Mall of Asia Arena. Tumakbo tayong magkasama!”

“At sa palabas na ito, maraming sorpresa at event para sa inyong lahat. Handang ihanda ang mga laro at tawanan,” Haha added.

The cast of “Running Man” South Korea will be bringing their “Run 2 U” show in Manila on July 6 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
