Former baseball player Yang Joon-hyuk will manage his physical strength for his second child through 'Run to Live'.

On the morning of the 18th, a production presentation for MBN's 30th anniversary of its founding was held online. Major cast members including producer Bang Il, Sean, Lee Young-pyo, Heo Jae, Yang Jun-hyuk, Yulhee, Ahn Sung-hoon, Bae Sung-jae, and Yang Se-hyung attended the event.

When asked why he took on the marathon, Yang Jun-hyuk said, `Now I'm in my mid-50s, and my baby is now 100 days old. I thought I should run harder for the sake of my child."




He married 19 years younger jazz singer Park Hyun-sun in 2021 and held his late daughter in his arms in December last year. Then "I want to have a second child, and physical strength is essential to teach baseball." Shouldn't we live a long, healthy life?" he said with a smile.

On the other hand, Heo Jae, who appeared with him, said "When I get older, my body and mind tend to become lethargic, but it's a program that made me run. I want to play a role in leading people off the course from behind again," he added, raising expectations for the program.

'Run to Live' is a sports reality entertainment where stars overcome their wounds and limits through a marathon. Sean and Lee Young-pyo will be the general manager and deputy leader, while Bae Sung-jae and Yang Se-hyung will host the event. A total of 16 members, including Heo Jae, Yang Jun-hyuk, Yulhee, Bang Eun-hee, and Sleepy, will run together.




'Run to Live' will premiere at 8:20 p.m. on the 19th.
