00:04 Let's open our program with, for today's talk, a big news.
00:10 That will make us more excited for the season 2 of Running Man Philippines.
00:14 We just confirmed that, wow, three Korean superstars will be guests in Running Man Season 2.
00:21 They will be accompanied by the Filipino runners, Sandara Park.
00:25 Hi Sandy for watching, Sandara Park.
00:28 She's watching, do you know her? Yes, Sandy, yes.
00:31 Former Momoland member Nancy McDonough and a member of Running Man Korea, Haha.
00:39 Wow.
00:41 This is a wish granted for the fans of Running Man because many of you requested that there should be Korean stars to be guests in Season 2.
00:51 It's now true. The runners can't believe that this season will be this big.
00:58 I was told that they were even crying.
01:00 They are happy to see Haha because they really dream of being with the missions of the OG member of Running Man Korea.
01:09 Aside from the Korean stars, here's the good news.
01:12 The guest in Season 2 is Josh of SB19. Let's give him a round of applause.
01:17 Wow, Bianca Umali.
01:20 Yes!
01:21 Harleen Budol.
01:22 Yes!
01:23 Alessandra De Rossi.
01:24 Yes!
01:25 Eric Tai and many more.
01:26 We are looking forward to seeing Ruru Madrid's special participation in Season 2.
01:32 Let's look forward to Running Man Philippines Season 2 starting now on May 11 and 12, every primetime weekend here in GMA7.
01:43 Basta sama sama, best time ever. Asia's pop heartthrob.
01:50 Please welcome, Darren.
01:53 Thank you, Uncle. I love you.
01:59 Nice to see you.
02:01 Please, please, make yourself comfortable.
02:03 I want to know your line. You are mine, I am yours.
02:06 Yes, sir.
02:08 If you were to say that line now, who would it be for?
02:12 At the moment, it's for my fans, the Darenatics.
02:15 Because you're the one who supported them.
02:16 Yes.
02:17 But I love it. But I have a question because I saw you when you were starting 10 years ago. You were 12 years old.
02:24 I think the last interview I did with you was 2019.
02:29 And look at you today. You're 6'1".
02:34 I was like that before.
02:37 Why Darren? Why did you drop the family name? Because there are other speculations. You said you haven't heard it yet. We've heard it. Make it clear.
02:44 Well, it's really just for the purpose of my image as a singer also and branding.
02:50 We kind of just decided also that Darren will be used.
02:55 Also easier to remember.
02:57 Yes.
02:58 But I'll be direct. This has nothing to do with your relationship with your parents.
03:02 It's true that this is new to you but somebody told me that you have a misunderstanding with your parents.
03:08 No, it's not like that.
03:10 It's not true?
03:11 Yes, it's not true.
03:12 So you have remained a good boy.
03:13 Yes. I'm still a spoiled child.
03:15 Just like in school.
03:16 And another thing, it's easier to remember. Darren.
03:19 Yes.
03:21 And congratulations on Showtime.
03:22 Thank you. It's very new to me.
03:26 I enjoy hosting every day with my Showtime family and I'm still learning how to host but I'm just grateful that I was chosen for Showtime.
03:37 And the stage is beautiful. You're still learning. You don't know what's going to happen but that's where magic happens.
03:47 You get into that space, that note that you're not sure if you can reach it or the lower note.
03:51 Getting there, that journey is one of the most exciting for an artist.
03:56 Yes. And it helps also that I'm already familiar with my co-hosts.
04:01 You're friends already?
04:03 Yes. They all treat me like their little brother. I'm the youngest of the hosts.
04:06 So that's how they treat me and they're all just very nice, willing to help me out.
04:13 In one of the episodes, Jillian Ward was a guest on Showtime.
04:17 I'll ask you directly, "Are you dating? Do you like Jillian Ward?" Where is the photo?
04:22 Can we have the photo?
04:24 Yes. She guested on our launch on Jill-Ren.
04:27 Jill-Ren and you're being shipped together.
04:29 Yes. We were surprised because we didn't expect it.
04:33 So you two are the ones you're talking to?
04:36 Yes. After that episode, I was surprised because she was the first one to follow me.
04:42 So I followed her back and then we started talking.
04:45 Before, we parted ways. We talked about doing a collaboration.
04:52 We were together in a corporate event before.
04:54 She can also sing and she asked if I could be a guest on her YouTube channel.
05:01 And you said yes?
05:03 Yes. I'm very open to doing that.
05:05 So you are in what kind of a relationship? Are you courting?
05:09 No. We're just friends.
05:11 Just friends.
05:13 Getting to know each other because this is the first time we ever met.
05:17 Nice girl. She's really nice.
05:19 Yes. So we might be able to prod on Showtime.
