Entertainer Jeon So-min officially became a regular cast member of the variety show "Running Man" in 2017, not only bringing a lot of new vibes to the show, but also deeply loved by many viewers for her lively and cute daring personality.
However, Jeon So-min recently announced through her agency that she would be leaving the show, shocking many fans and leaving loyal viewers feeling quite upset. Just two years ago, member Kwang-soo left the show and no new member was added afterwards. Therefore, Jeon So-min's departure has left many curious as to whether the show's team would bring in new candidates to fill the vacant position.
Recently, netizens have shared posts on the forum about whether there will be new candidates to fill the vacancies in the "Running Man" program. Unexpectedly, after the list of candidates was revealed, it immediately sparked a wave of discussion among the broad netizens.
"After Jeon So-min left 'Running Man', netizens are in a hurry wondering 'Who can be considered as Jeon So-min's replacement?' and many suggested celebrities with similar names to Jeon So-min, causing a lot of laughs."
The post mentioned people like actor Jeong So Min, who had been a guest on previous episodes, and idol singer Jeon So Mi, as potential successors to "Running Man".
In addition, the post humorously added veteran actor Jeon Nomin as a candidate for "Running Man" at the end. Although the post simply humorously picked an artist with a similar name to Jeon Somi and listed it, it still made many netizens laugh, asking "How urgent are they to find someone?"
The discussion paper immediately sparked a hot debate upon its exposure, triggering a wave of discussions among netizens. Some netizens found it hilarious, saying "This is really too funny", "No matter who we choose, let's gather them all together for an episode first", "Let's do a special episode where we pick a successor before they leave, it seems like it would be fun", "this is hilarious, but can't Kwang-soo come back?" and "If we invite all three of them, it's bound to be funny". Some netizens even believed that it would be more interesting for a variety show to invite experienced artists like Jeon No-min, and many expressed that "Inviting Jeon No-min should be quite amusing".
