Lee Kwang-soo left Running Man', which ended the 11-year run members are set to fill his vacancy with a distinctive Chemistry.
Earlier, King Kong by Starship reported that Lee Kwang-soo was getting off at SBS Running Man' for the last time on May 24th. This was the reason for the decline in condition: Lee Kwang-soo was diagnosed with ankle fractures last year after a contact accident with a signal-breaking vehicle. Since then, he has not fully recovered and has been shooting with crutches.
King Kong by Starship said, "Lee Kwang-soo was undergoing steady rehabilitation due to injuries caused by the accident, but there were some parts that were difficult to maintain the best condition when shooting." The members, production team and agency informed the conclusion that it came after a long discussion after the accident. "We need physical time to show better things in future activities," the agency explained.
The farewell between Lee Kwang-soo and Running Man' was beautiful. "Running Man" said in an official statement, "Lee Kwang-soo went through the leg rehabilitation process after a traffic accident and worked on rehabilitation and filming at the same time with affection and responsibility for the program even though he was not in the best condition. But despite Lee Kwang-soo's efforts, it was difficult to do the same. " "The members and the crew wanted to be together for a longer time, but Lee Kwang-soo as a Running Man member' was also important, so I decided to respect his decision after a long conversation."
What does Running Man' look like when Lee Kwang-soo left? Choi Bo-pil PD said in an interview with the magazine on January 1, "I am not planning to change the nature of the program as it was not sudden departure." There was speculation that the proportion of guests would increase, but Choi PD said, "There is no such plan."
As it was the first long-run program to air in 2010, the getting off member had been before; earlier, the first-year member, Song Jung-ki, Lizzie Gary, left. Nevertheless, Running Man' has been popular as a guest of fresh format and colorful charm. The new cast member Yang Se-chan Jeon So-min has created a variety of Chemistry with existing members.
There is no plan yet to recruit new members such as Yang Se-chan Jeon So-min, who said, "We will watch the trend and try it among ourselves. I can make a decision later, but I am not preparing, "he said." I will go in the direction of bettering the Chemistry of the members now. "
The cast's Chemistry was more afflicted than when Yang Se-chan Jeon So-min was put in - so there's no worry. Some people want to recruit new members, but many netizens have posted articles supporting the seven-member system in the online community. This is because of the belief that Running Man' can be filled with plenty of Chemistry of existing members.
Choi is constantly working to create a fresh format: the goal is to create programs that interest not only existing fans but also those who were not viewers. The cast will continue to run and fill the vacancy of Lee Kwang-soo, whose future of Running Man' is bright as long as their passion and crew efforts continue.
