Jeon So Min Makes a Triumphant Return to 'Running Man' After One-Year Hiatus

In an exciting turn of events for fans of the long-running variety show "Running Man," beloved actress Jeon So Min is making her comeback as a guest, almost a year after stepping down from her regular role. The news was confirmed on December 30th by an SBS representative, who shared that Jeon So Min recently participated in filming for the show.

Joining her on this much-anticipated episode are fellow guests actor Choi Daniel, her co-star from the drama "Sorry Not Sorry," as well as acclaimed weightlifter Park Hye Jung and judoka Kim Ha Yoon. This special episode is slated to air in January, promising fans an exhilarating mix of laughter and competitive spirit.

Jeon So Min first graced the "Running Man" set as a fixed cast member in April 2017. Over the years, she won over viewers with her unique charm, lively antics, and captivating personality. However, in November of last year, she announced her decision to leave, explaining, "I have decided to take time to recharge so that I can show a better side of myself in future activities, including acting." Her farewell episode, aptly themed "Jeon So Min’s Perspective – Goodbye So Min Race," was an emotional tribute to her six unforgettable years on the show.

Since her departure, Jeon has continued to shine in the acting world with standout roles in dramas such as "Gwaeri and Naengso" and "Sorry Not Sorry." She's also been busy behind the scenes, wrapping up filming for the romantic thriller film "Veranda." In July, she signed with Studio Santa Claus Entertainment, marking a new chapter in her professional journey.

As fans eagerly await her return to "Running Man," speculation is rife about what surprises and memorable moments the episode will hold. Will Jeon So Min's signature humor and competitive spirit reignite the magic that endeared her to audiences for years? One thing is for sure: her comeback is one that viewers will not want to miss!
