Jeon So-min, who left the show in tears, makes a comeback on ‘Running Man’… ‘Team Kill’ with Choi Daniel (Running Man)

Actress Jeon So-min will be appearing on ‘Running Man’ as a guest.

The SBS ‘Running Man’, which will air on the 19th (Sunday), will feature actresses Jeon So-min, Choi Daniel, and sports stars Kim Ha-yoon and Park Hye-jung.

In this broadcast, Jeon So-min, who left viewers disappointed with her tearful departure a year ago, will return with her partner actor Choi Daniel from the drama ‘Today, Jisong. Olympic stars Park Hye-jung and Kim Ha-yoon will also make a reappearance, adding to the joy.

The recently filmed show was decorated with an unusual name, ‘Team Kill, Jisong’. The cast was divided into two teams and proceeded under MC Yoo Jae-suk. The key to this race was the penalty vote to choose ‘which team member would like to add a penalty balloon to’.

This is because only when exactly 3 names are revealed as a result of the vote will the majority of the team be happy, but there was a unique rule that if there were more or less than 3 names, the names of the entire team and MC Yoo Jae-suk would be added to the penalty list. In this race that requires both trust and team kills among team members, what kind of strategy will the members, who are called the ‘Textbook of Betrayal’, employ?

The ‘Teamkill, I Send It To You’ race, which will be full of legal betrayals and team kill tactics, will be revealed on ‘Running Man’, which airs at 6:10 PM on Sunday the 19th.

Meanwhile, Jeon So-min joined ‘Running Man’ as a regular member in April 2017 and was greatly loved for her quirky and reckless character. However, in November 2023, she left the program after 6 years, saying, “I decided that I need time to recharge so that I can show you a better side of myself in my future activities, including acting.” The last broadcast was also conducted as a race called ‘Omniscient Somin‘s Viewpoint - Goodbye Somin’.

Jeon So-min presented ‘Today’s Jisong’ following the drama ‘Divergence and Cynical’ last year, and finished filming the romantic thriller film ‘Veranda’. In July, she announced a new start by moving to Studio Santa Claus Entertainment. Recently, in a video on Ji Suk-jin‘s YouTube channel, she confessed that after leaving ‘Running Man’, she said, “I couldn’t see the future because I didn‘t have anything scheduled. I even overdid it,” and worked part-time at an acquaintance’s cafe.
