Recent online posts titled “Celebrities spotted at a supermarket in Jeju Island” quickly gained attention. The images show Lee Kwang-soo, Do Kyung-soo, and Kim Woo-bin shopping seriously while wearing work boots hinting at another farming-themed season.

However, what stood out the most was the presence of Moon Sang-hoon, who appeared in a yellow hat and work outfit alongside the members, suggesting a guest appearance.

While the returning trio sparked excitement, longtime viewers quickly noticed the absence of Kim Ki-bang one of the original cast members known for his close friendship with the group.

Earlier reports confirmed that producer Na Young-seok is currently filming a new “Green Bean Red Bean” series in Jeju, with Moon Sang-hoon joining as a guest. However, Kim Ki-bang has not been spotted at the filming site.

Since its debut in 2023, Green Bean, Red Bean gained popularity for showcasing the real-life friendship between Kim Ki-bang, Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, and Do Kyung-soo as they took on farming challenges together.

The chemistry continued in its spin-off, Green Bean Red Bean, where Lee Kwang-soo and Do Kyung-soo returned, with Kim Woo-bin appearing as a guest. Notably, Kim Ki-bang was absent—raising early questions among fans.

“As neither the production team nor the cast has addressed his absence, speculation about a possible conflict has continued to spread.”

Online reactions have been mixed, with many expressing concern:

  • Where is Kim Ki-bang?
  • It feels incomplete without all four members.
  • I hope the feud rumors aren’t true.

Others shared that they miss his warm personality and hope to see him return in the new season.

The upcoming season of Green Bean, Red Bean, expected to air later this year, is now under heightened scrutiny. Viewers are eager to find out whether Kim Ki-bang has officially stepped away—and what the real reason might be.
