Actress Jeon So-min met with Ji Suk-jin and shared her recent activities after leaving ‘Running Man’.

A video titled ‘Long-AwaitedㅣSomakase Jeon So-min and Choi Daniel’ was released on Ji Suk-jin‘s YouTube channel ‘Ji Pyeonhan Sesang’.

Ji Suk-jin introduced the video, saying, “I met So-min and Daniel after a long time. It was so nice to see So-min after a long time.“ Ji Suk-jin and Jeon So-min previously appeared on SBS ‘Running Man’.

On that day, when Ji Suk-jin asked her how it was after leaving ‘Running Man’, Jeon So-min replied, “We started filming sooner than I thought. After finishing it, about 3~4 months later, I filmed a movie and two short films and said, ‘I’m sending it,’ but I was so worried,” he said.

Then, “Because I can‘t see the future. Because there’s nothing planned. That‘s why I moved again. And then, after graduating from ‘Running Man’, I thought, ‘The industry is tough, how am I supposed to survive?’ I worked part-time at a cafe that I know.”

Ji Seok-jin said, “I was surprised to hear that story,” and Jeon So-min said, “It was the Channel A building. (Customers) would come and look for the camera. They would say, “Are you experiencing the cafe?”

Jeon So-min explained the situation at the time, saying, “The contract conditions were that I had to not wear a hat or a mask. That way, the store’s sales would increase. However, I was paid the same hourly wage. I wasn’t given food support, but they bought me food.”

Jeon So-min added, “It was fun. I worked part-time at a coffee shop for a long time when I was 29, and I thought about that time and it made me recharge my energy like I was back in my old dreamy days.”

Meanwhile, Jeon So-min and Choi Daniel are currently working together on KBS Joy’s “Today’s Jisong.”
