Kang Hoon first joined 'Running Man' in May 2024. About 3 weeks after joining, Yoo Jae Suk CS already discussed plans for Kang Hoon to leave.
Kang Hoon now has the status of a "Running Man" rental member. However, the actor who was born in 1991 shocked the audience because he revealed that he would soon be leaving the SBS program. Many suspect that Kang Hoon's rental period will only be short.
Recently, local media OSEN reported that Kang Hoon's final filming process for "Running Man" would take place on July 8. Even though he will leave later, the actor will reportedly still appear on the Kim Jong Kook cs program soon.
The news of Kang Hoon's departure was responded to by SBS on July 15. The TV station revealed that the actor would indeed be taking a short hiatus from "Running Man" because he was busy filming his latest drama. However, Kang Hoon still has rental member status.
"It is not true that this is his last filming. He will not be filming for now (because he is busy starring in the drama 'To My Haeri'), but he will take part in filming at any time depending on his schedule," said an SBS representative to local media.
On the other hand, Kang Hoon first joined "Running Man" in May 2024. At that time, the members confirmed that the actor was a rental member. This means there is no pressure about how long Kang Hoon will be joining.
About 3 weeks after joining, Yoo Jae Suk cs discussed plans for Kang Hoon's departure. "But, he's been with us for three weeks. Next week will be his last," said Jae Suk. Song Ji Hyo also said, "Oh, that's right." Kang Hoon nodded his head.
Kang Hoon apparently admitted that he would leave his status as a rental member by saying, "I'm preparing to break up (leaving 'Running Man')." The actor's words made the members of "Running Man" not accept it.
Yang Se Chan cs said they couldn't let Kang Hoon leave "Running Man" easily. “You can't take advantage of us and just walk away,” Jae Suk protested. "But, the results are good, right," said Kang Hoon. (wk/charity)
