Ji Seok-jin will join the members of SBS’s entertainment program “Running Man” again in the upcoming broadcast on January 28th after five weeks.
Participating in the recording on the 15th, Ji Seok-jin made a grand appearance on the red carpet in the middle of the snowfield. The members cheered for him loudly, saying “You look so fancy! So shining!”, “The king has returned!”, etc.
Upon hearing the news of Ji Seok-jin’s comeback, “Running Man” viewers commented, “Finally, Running Man team has completed”, “The members must be very excited”, “I’ve waited for Ji Seok-jin’s return. I hope the members are all healthy”, etc.
Earlier in December last year, Ji Seok-jin announced his temporary suspension of broadcasting activities due to health issues. The news of Ji Seok-jin’s sudden break caused fans to worry. Following Jeon So-min’s withdrawal to focus on her acting career, there were voices of concerns that Ji Seok-jin might also drop out of “Running Man”.

Yoo Jae-suk called Ji Seok-jin on the stage when receiving the trophy on his behalf and Ji Seok-jin promised to make his comeback on “Running Man”, saying “You don’t have to worry too much. I’ll be back soon”.
On January 21st, Yoo Jae-suk called Ji Seok-jin to get hint for a mission. Before ending the call, he said, “See you next week”, raising fans’ expectations.
