According to Xportsnews, Jeon So-min will appear as a special guest on the October 19 broadcast Running Mantogether with comedian Yang Se-hyung.
His appearance attracts special attention because his successor, Ji Ye-eun, is currently taking a break from activities due to health problems.
Jeon So-min arrived on set in his signature playful style, riding with Yang Se-hyung on a motorcycle while wearing sunglasses. His unexpected entrance immediately lifted the mood, earning applause and laughter from the cast.
The chemistry between Jeon So-min and longtime member Ji Suk-jin was as lively as ever as the two exchanged their signature banter. During a portion of the quiz asking: “Did you kiss anyone last week?” Jeon So-min smiled mischievously and called her former on-screen love interest Yang Se-chan aside, eliciting laughter from the members.
Yang Se-hyung jokingly teased, “Will you do it now?” while the captions jokingly labeled her “Return of the Love Frog,” a nod to her famously flirtatious character on the show.
The episode will also feature a sibling rivalry between Yang Se-hyung and Yang Se-chan, adding an extra layer of entertainment for viewers.
In the meantime, Running Man host Yoo Jae-suk talked about Ji Ye-eun’s absence during the October 12 broadcast.
“Just to avoid misunderstanding: Ye-eun once mentioned burnout, but that’s not why she’s taking a break,” Yoo Jae-suk clarified. “He is resting because the results of his medical checkup showed that he needed treatment.”
Fans have expressed support for both Ji Ye-eun’s recovery and Jeon So-min’s brief return, which is expected to bring a wave of nostalgia and energy to the long-running variety show.
