The agency announced Lee Kwang Soo will be stepping down from 'Running Man' to focus on maintaining his physical and mental health due to injuries caused by last year's accident.
"Running Man" presents its latest episode on Sunday (30/5). In the 557th episode, this popular SBS program did not bring in a single guest star, but the members' competition for the most points.
What's interesting in the episode, Song Ji Hyo cs compactly teases Lee Kwang Soo who will soon leave "Running Man". Ji Suk Jin cs deliberately made a joke when discussing Lee Kwang Soo's decision to leave.
In that episode, "Running Man" members who can collect 50 points are allowed to go home first. "It would be weird if Lee Kwang Soo left early today," said Haha. "We should help him survive as long as he can," said Kim Jong Kook.
"I think this rule has been arranged (by the production team)," said Lee Kwang Soo. "Then just this," interrupted Yoo Jae Seok in a serious tone that made the four members of "Running Man" who were there quietly listening.
The funny thing is, Yoo Jae Seok turned out to be desperate to make a "decision" in order to make Lee Kwang Soo not leave "Running Man". "Because many fans are sad because you left this program, you persevere. We will go instead," said Yoo Jae Seok.
This of course made Lee Kwang Soo shout, "Heiss, stop! Why do I have to do it alone. Don't joke." Meanwhile, Haha, Yang Se Chan and Kim Jong Kook could only laugh at Yoo Jae Seok's absurd "decision".
Previously on April 27th, Lee Kwang Soo's agency announced that the actor under his care would be stepping down from "Running Man" to focus on maintaining his physical and mental health due to injuries from last year's accident.
Meanwhile, SBS also released a statement sharing, "Unfortunately we are faced with a beautiful separation, but we ask viewers to show warm support and encouragement to Lee Kwang Soo and the members who made the difficult decision." (wk / charity)
