On the other hand, Yoo Seung-ho made an appearance on the October 8 broadcast of Running Man.
At the time, permanent cast member HaHa suggested BTS' V and Yoo Seung-ho shoot an episode together for a special Tazza episode. Notably, Tazza in Korean refers to a professional gambler or a gambler at the height of their powers.

This marks BTS' V's second time guesting on Running Man this year and his first time guesting with another Korean star, actor Yoo Seung-ho, with whom he will be guesting for the first time.
