Yoo Jae Suk and his former Running Man co-star, Lee Kwang Soo, are about to work together again in a new Disney+ reality show, The Zone: Survival Mission.
Since Running Man began in 2010, Yoo Jae Suk and Lee Kwang Soo have been serving as the program's original cast members. Unfortunately, the Killer's Shopping List actor had to move forward and leave the show amid his rehabilitation treatment due to his injury following a car accident last year.
Months after Lee Kwang Soo parted ways with the variety show, he and Yoo Jae Suk would reunite in another reality game show.

"There are many variety shows like escape games. But 'The Zone' is different from them. We have to survive. I liked joining this project, because I wanted to work with Jae-suk again," Lee Kwang Soo said, as quoted by The Korea Times.
Yoo Jae Suk added that they need to face extreme situations in the show, hyping the future viewers even more.
Why Did Producer Cho Hyo Jin Create The Show?
During the same press conference, the reality show's co-producer, Cho Hyo Jin, revealed why he began creating the project. He already helmed other variety shows, including Running Man, Family Outing, and X-Man.
The producer said that he started building the project after reading a phrase that said "it isn't the strongest person who survives but whoever survives is the strongest."
"Our cast members are not superheroes. They even look inferior to our viewers. Viewers will feel relaxed and fun watching the cast's hilarious surviving challenges," he went on.
Yoo Jae Suk and Lee Kwang Soo's The Zone: Survival Mission airs on Disney+ on September 8.
