jeon somin running man return

According to Xportsnews, Jeon So-min will appear as a special guest on the October 19 broadcast of Running Man, alongside comedian Yang Se-hyung.

Her appearance is drawing extra attention because her successor, Ji Ye-eun, is currently taking a break from activities due to health issues.

Jeon So-min arrived on set in signature playful style, riding in with Yang Se-hyung on a motorcycle while wearing sunglasses. Her unexpected entrance immediately lifted the mood, earning cheers and laughter from the cast.

The chemistry between Jeon So-min and long-time member Ji Suk-jin was as lively as ever, as the two exchanged their trademark banter. During a quiz segment asking, “Have you kissed anyone in the past week?” Jeon So-min smiled mischievously and called her former on-screen love interest Yang Se-chan aside — drawing laughter from the members.

Yang Se-hyung jokingly teased, “Are you going to do it now?” while captions playfully labeled her as “The Return of the Love Frog,” a nod to her famous flirtatious character on the show.

The episode will also feature a brotherly rivalry between Yang Se-hyung and Yang Se-chan, adding another layer of fun for viewers.

Meanwhile, Running Man host Yoo Jae-suk addressed Ji Ye-eun’s absence during the October 12 broadcast.

“Just to avoid misunderstandings — Ye-eun once mentioned burnout before, but that’s not the reason she’s taking a break,” Yoo Jae-suk clarified. “She’s resting because her medical checkup results showed she needed treatment.”

Fans 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.
