"I took a seven-year break from variety shows because of one thing Yoo Jae-suk said"... 'Running Man's' Kim Kyung-nam: "My mindset is completely different now"
Jeon So-min and Kim Kyung-nam are set to appear on SBS's "Running Man."
In the episode of "Running Man" airing on the 7th, Jeon So-min and Kim Kyung-nam will appear as guests and compete in the "Money Up" race.
Jeon So-min, who previously served as a regular member, returned to 'Running Man' for the first time since her guest appearance last October. As soon as Jeon So-min appeared, the members gave her a playful welcome, and she immediately set the tone for the recording with her natural chemistry from the opening.
Kim Kyung-nam is also making a comeback after about seven years. He shared a humorous anecdote about how, after hearing Yoo Jae-suk tell him, “Kyung-nam isn’t cut out for variety shows” during a previous appearance, he was unable to appear on variety shows for a long time. He then expressed his renewed determination, saying, “My mindset has completely changed since then.”
This race will be conducted as "Money Up on My Own," where members transform into seasonal merchants, investing in seasonal products to earn profits. Participants must predict which season will be the most prosperous and allocate their seed money accordingly.
As the game began, the members split into two camps—the “moth-to-the-flame” type, who invests all their assets in a single season, and the “conservative” type, who spreads investments across multiple seasons—and pursued contrasting strategies. True to her reputation as the "original moth," Jeon So-min continued to make bold choices, and it is reported that Yang Se-chan also took a gamble with an aggressive strategy of investing in only one season per round.
"Running Man" airs on the 7th at 6:10 p.m.
