MBC‘s ‘I Live Alone’ will feature Kian84’s New York Marathon challenge as a full course. Kian84, who successfully completed his first full marathon in his life a year ago, gave us an overwhelming feeling. The vivid process of his challenge and the moment of completion of the New York Marathon, the stage that marathoners around the world dream of, will be revealed.
On the MBC ‘I Live Alone’ (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Park Soo-bin, Lee Kyung-eun, and Moon Ki-young) airing on the 22nd, Kian84‘s challenge for the 54th New York Marathon will be revealed.
In October 2023, Kian84, who challenged his first full marathon in his life at the Daecheong Lake Marathon, displayed his indomitable will and wore a completion medal around his neck. The expression on Kian84’s face as he ran 42.195km, won the battle with himself, and finally smiled deeply resonated and touched the viewers.
He then did not rest on his laurels and threw his hat into the ring for the New York Marathon, one of the top six marathons in the world. Then on the 4th, news broke that Kian84 had completed the New York Marathon held the day before, surprising viewers once again.
The production team of ‘Running84’ ‘I Live Alone’, who ran with Kian84 for his dream, will generously show the behind-the-scenes of his New York Marathon challenge in this week‘s broadcast as a full course. In the preview released at the end of last week’s broadcast, Kian84 showed his ‘Global Running84’ mindset by saying, “Domestic is too small for me now.” All eyes are on the yet another life race that he and ‘I Live Alone’ will present.
Ahead of the broadcast, the official SNS of ‘I Live Alone’ revealed a certification shot of Kian84 holding the t-shirt he wore at the New York Marathon, drawing attention. His t-shirt contains the cheering message “Fighting, Korea!” as well as his wishes and hopes as well as his affection for the Rainbow members.
Also, at 9 PM tonight (the 20th), a special ‘Run Running84’ broadcast filled with the fighting spirit and passion of Kian84, who is serious about running, is being prepared, raising expectations even more.
