Recently, SBS station announced that actor Kang Hoon would join the program ' Running Man ' as a temporary member. Via the Instagram account @sbs_runningman_sbs, SBS uploaded a photo of the permanent members of 'Running Man' together with Kang Hoon on Tuesday May 14, 2024.
Previously, the members of 'Running Man' were reduced to six members after Jeon So Min resigned in November last year, leaving Yoo Jae Suk, Song Ji Hyo, Kim Jong Kook, HaHa, Ji Suk Jin, and Yang Se Chan. Staff and other members also discussed ideas for temporary members.
In a meeting with 'Running Man' producers, Kim Jong Kook actively appealed to the temporary member system. “I think it would be better to recruit temporary members now. "It's difficult if we get too caught up," said Kim Jong Kook as quoted by KBIZoom on Wednesday May 15, 2024.
Producer Choi Hyung In agreed and said, “I think idols are also good. As long as they can get along well with the original members. Actually, I don't think age matters that much. Everyone is young at heart.” Thus, Kang Hoon was chosen as the first temporary member of 'Running Man'.
Previously, Kang Hoon had appeared on 'Running Man' six times and impressed the members and crew with his unique charisma. In particular, Kang Hoon provoked laughter from viewers over his competitive chemistry with Kim Jong Kook. Previously in February, Kang Hoon was a guest star on Kim Jong Kook's YouTube channel 'Gym Jong Kook'.
Kim Jong Kook asked Kang Hoon, “You said you were resting recently, right? There are a few vacancies on ‘Running Man,’ so come and play for a while.” Kim Jong Kook added, “You don't have to be a permanent member, just join temporarily, do something and leave once it's known.
Please come as a guest on the show.” Then, at that time Kang Hoon said that he would come to 'Running Man' if contacted. Kang Hoon's first Running Man episode as a temporary member will air on May 26, 2024 at 6:15 p.m. KST.
