Jeon So-min, 'Running Man' last recording today (30th)
Jeon So-min leaves 'Running Man' after 6 years with the recording of this day. On the 23rd, Jeon So-min's side announced the reason, saying, "We have decided that we need time to recharge so that we can show a better side of ourselves in future activities, including acting." The 'Running Man' side also said, "We are looking for a way to be together until the end." “We discussed it for a long time, but we respected Jeon So-min’s wishes and made the unfortunate decision to break up.”
Jeon So-min ran with 'Running Man' for about 6 years with extraordinary affection and responsibility, but recently expressed her desire to take time to recharge for her acting career. The ‘Running Man’ production team also explained, “The members and production staff discussed for a long time how to be with Jeon So-min until the end, but we respected Jeon So-min’s wishes and made the unfortunate decision to part ways.”
“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Jeon So-min, who has brightened the program as a member of ‘Running Man’ for a long time, and ask for the warm support and encouragement of viewers for Jeon So-min, who has made a difficult decision. “The ‘Running Man’ members and production team will support ‘eternal member’ Jeon So-min,” he said.
Jeon So-min, who joined as a new member along with Yang Se-chan in 2017, had a difficult time when she received malicious comments from some foreign fans. Accordingly, in 2020, the show took a break of only 6 weeks. ‘Running Man’ fans are growing more and more disappointed with the news of Jeon So-min’s departure. As a result, 'Running Man' saw the departure of five original members, including Song Joong-ki, Lizzy, Gary, and Lee Kwang-soo, and Jeon So-min, who was brought in midway through the show, also decided to leave.
