Kwang Soo Leaving Running Man?!

South Korean actor Lee Kwang-soo, one of the original cast members of variety show Running Man, has called it quits after 11 years.

His management agency King Kong by Starship said on Tuesday (April 27) that Lee, 35, decided to leave the show as a result of an injury from a traffic accident last year.

It said Lee has been undergoing physical therapy since he suffered a right ankle fracture in February last year after he was hit by a car which beat the red light.

His agency said he has difficulties keeping up with the show due to the physical demand and has raised his concerns with the production team.

Lee will film his last episode for the variety show on May 24.

I wish him all the best. He is my favorite character on running man. Who is going to steal, lie and bother Kim Jong Kook now?!

He is like, the icon of Running Man for me. Other than the guests, he is the next person I look for in RM

this news is like a week ago lol

I just found it 2 days ago, and there are no threads about this?

Quote from SeniorKpopper

There's a post on allkpop news about this

I follow the news from Koreaboi (censored), more entertaining

Quote from JaSida

Yes, we need a character like him. I always find it funny how he tricks Kim Jong Kook. I will miss him.

And when Sun Bin guests in RM, it's always funny and sweet to see them

I only want to know who is going to be joining as the replacement

I don't know if it's necessary though

Quote from selfmate

oh really? I think he is an integral part of the show...

He is, but I don't know if replacement is necessary as they have their members left before and not replace the members who left. They have been adding some members too (not a replacement)

Quote from selfmate

but this is like a permanent loss of a cast member who (if i recall) started from the beginning right?

Yes, they've experienced it too before. Let's just see after May

Quote from selfmate

of course since they can no longer go on Knowing brothers lol

Heechul, leave the program please
