Nancy McDonie on working with Miguel Tanfelix in 'Running Man PH:' 'He's such a sweet guy'


Nancy McDonie had a wonderful time working with Miguel Tanfelix in "Running Man Philippines."

On Wednesday's episode of "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda," the K-pop star appeared via video from South Korea and shared her experience in working with the "Running Man Philippines" cast.

"He was so nice. He's such a sweet guy," Nancy said about Miguel.

"I remember he was translating all day for me. So he probably really had a hard day. So I'm really thankful for that because I didn't understand Tagalog that well. So he's probably exhausted translating what was  going on the whole time," she added.

She also said that she would love to work with him on another project if there is an opportunity.

Nancy made an appearance in the variety show last weekend. During her guest appearance, she had a date mission with Miguel.

She is set to appear again in the episodes this weekend.

It was previously announced that the former Momoland member is one of the "superstar Korean guests" set to appear in the show. Previously, OG "Running Man" member HaHa guested on an episode.

This will be Nancy's first project after signing with Sparkle in April. However, she remains under her talent agency ATOC for her activities in South Korea.

Nancy, whose real name is Nancy Jewel McDonie, debuted with Momoland in 2016. The group disbanded in February 2023.

The Korean-American singer visited the Philippines in November 2023 for a concert with Korean actor Lee Seung Gi to mark the first anniversary of a Korean fried chicken restaurant at the Bonifacio Global City.

"Running Man Philippines" Season 2 stars Miguel, Glaiza De Castro, Mikael Daez, Buboy Villar, Angel Guardian, Kokoy De Santos, and Lexi Gonzales.

The show airs weekends at 7:15 p.m. on GMA Network.
