Honestly lizzy should have stayed in running man. Seeing her potential in running man is big and what after what happened to her group it's just saddening. But man why did Gary have to distance himself like that.
I honestly think that Lizzy and Joongki never really saw themselves as variety TV stars. It wasn't their cup of tea and their time on the show was for exposure only. At the time, Runningman didn't have good ratings and the show was still trying to find their groove. They were too young back then to settle down on a TV show. Lizzy wasn't even 21 yet when she left, and she had a better shot at making it big with a girls music group. Joongki was a handsome flowerboy who had better potential to be a hallyu kdrama actor due to his looks. Out of the three youngest members that joined, I'm not surprised that Kwangsoo remained on the show for this long and also became the most successful. Kwangsoo was naturally funny and variety shows were definitely his calling. It is surprising to see Gary act that way despite how close they all were for all those years. But I don't think he did it out of bad intentions. Who knows......maybe he might have reconnected with them off the screen already.
@@zurifakimi8367 and he's the only members that very close to all of the cast and staffs. We all know that gary already changed his phone number so he actually doesnt want to be bothered anymore by running man. Kwang soo is closer to all of members by appearing in kjk and yjs youtube after he left, appearing in haha newest single and also appearing as a cast member with yjs in the zone and korea no 1. And kwang soo is yjs most favourite doengsang. Even at the last episode of running man, kwang soo also gets the gold ticket by running man staffs to appear whenever he wants to running man. Its depends on his decision😉
Lizzy and joong ki were not there long enough to make an impact. God bless their careers. But losing kwang soo and Gary was tough for the RM community. Grateful for all their work.
Sometimes I wonder if there are any other underlying factors that caused their departures.. especially for Gary since he totally disappeared right after leaving.. but hopefully they’re all doing well and are happy.. they should do an episode where all 4 of them are invited back secretly. They can become the 4 captains for their teams 😍
Gary disappearing is not unusual, he did the same thing before he joined running man, basically cut off all contact with everyone for like a year to focus on his music. All of the members who left had perfectly valid reasons for leaving that make sense that they have stated publicly.
of course to protect his wife from toxic monday couple shipper and runningman fans that define variety show equal to real life. it could be more worst if any toxic fans cyber bullying his wife/wife to be eventhough she did nothing to the fans
@@hahahah1090 exactly my thought. Fans are way too vocal and she being non celeb might directly affect her mental health having that exposure out of nowhere
Lizzy didn't want to leave. It was the production staff who decided not to include her anymore as a regular cast. If you watched the episode where she came as a guest after so many years, there were comments between lizzy and YJS about her leaving the show. YJS even commented that they were sorry for what happened to her.
No it was cause her agency and the running man's agency couldn't come to terms for a permanent schedule. They had to let her go so she can save her own career in the kpop Industry. If anything running man did her a favor. Cause it came to the point where it was either running man or her kpop group. And obviously being in the group would be more successful for her career.
@@anthonygarcia3922 that was the statement made by her agency. Rewatch the episodes where lizzy came as a guest and take note of the comments made by the regular members. They felt sorry for what happened to lizzy. Even YJS said it himself. The members even said that the production team should apologize to her.
Running man feel sorry for her.....Kim Jong kook even said.....If lizzy was apart of RM....imagine how successful she will be....you can see in unlucky episode.......and Plus Lizzy cannot get enough airtime...she lost her character.....
Ah God here we go again 😑 Gary cant come back, try to understand him pls.. He say it, suffer from "mission" that given to him when he still at RM before, kwangsoo also feel the same way, event after they leave RM for such a long time sometimes they still suffer and think they do mission or something, they need to heal from that feeling, also Gary get married already, what you think about his wife? Gary wife and ji Hyo will Always Ok with "the comeback of monday couple" Stuff??? Think about them please!! Kwangsoo maybe can comeback after some years later, but its will really take long time to heal for sure, So please, stop your ego and try to understand other ppl, thanks.
I LOL-ed so hard at comments saying how Gary is being a shitty friend. Yes, him just shut everyone off kinda suck. Yet here we are, not knowing his story and just judging him. It’s not like he did anything bad to the rest of them. If my friend suddenly leave me without saying a word, I admit I would be upset at first but eventually if that what makes them happy then who am I to stop them. If I’m calling my friend selfish for leaving me, wouldn’t I be just as selfish for forcing them to stay. Let that man be at a place where he feel safe and secure, even if it means away from his friends.
Agree with you, i think the reason gary cut all of his connection is somehow related to his marriage. He didnt even publish who his wife is until months later. Who knows what will happen if he publish it right away. Some may attack him or his wife because of it, especially some "delusional" monday couple shipper.
@@QuantumFishFTW Not even knowing the truth behind the reason why Gary decided to disappear and just assumed he's a shitty friend, I think that's even more shitty. Gary could've been the good friend that got stuck with a bunch of shitty friends and leaving is the only choice he could think of so his family could have a peaceful life.
@@shin18chan it's really not that hard to let people know if you consider them your friend. Hate to break it to you but if he didn't bother then they must've not been that important to him. He made his choice.
@@QuantumFishFTW I sometime leave for a year or so without contacting my family and friends. Letting people know would be harder for me cause there will be some of them that will try to talk me out of it. Being friends with me for so long, they understand that I needed time to focus on myself and will always come greet me when I return. And I do the same for them because we friends know each other well enough. I'm pretty sure if the members think Gary is their friend they would understand his reason for doing so. If they, his own friends, won't even consider him as a shitty person it's just dumb for us, the outsiders to judge his action when we literally know nothing about it.
I know Running Man when it about 400 episodes, then I tried to catch up from episode 1, the first longest episodes that I followed, but the vibes are not the same when Gary left, but the vibes goes up again when Se Chan and So Min joined, then Kwang Soo left, it felt like the vibes drop again, and recently So Min also left 😢
I think pretty we will have old/original cast members leaving and being replaced with new once. The old cast members are pretty "old" now. Jaesuk hyung is 50, JongKook hyung and Haha hyung is almost there, too. Not to mention Sukjin hyuing. Song JiHyo noona is getting pretty old, too. So, I'm expecting a complete change of the show's style pretty soon. Either they will have more chill, not physically tasking tasks, or they will have to replace the old cast members. Worst case scenario is that they will have to end the program. By pretty soon, I mean at least 3 - 5 years from now. Either way, I have not regretted knowing and loving the show. It has became a part of my weekly life for over 8 years now.
Believe me guys, there are no new or other running man shows than this cast..These cast bring korean variety shows to be popular worldwide so its quite unpleasent to makes new MC and cast to use Running Man names. They cannot replace Jae Suk as main MC ,Ji Suk Jin and Kim Jong Kook as his support. Gary departure is not big because they already got So Min and Se Chan that better in entertainment and talkshow skills. Kwang Soo departure actually means a lot because he carried the shows in terms of funny roles. But, some cast as Ji Suk Jin and Se Chan can fill his role even we knows that they cannot be as good as kwang soo. In the end, we can see that Running Man will end with all members will leave the shows including the main MC Yoo Jae Suk. Same what happened to Infinite Challenge
Lizzy - because she tries her best but always gets edited out so she just left Joongki - to focus on acting career Gary - looks so done already with etertainment world. LKS - also looks done with RM busy schedule and want to focus more on acting.
I think Kwang Soo left the show because he wanted to get rid of his "stupid" image to get various roles in his acting career. Ever since he was with Running Man he always got stupid characters. For Lizzy, she seemed incompatible for this show which was famous for the nametag ripping game at that time.
I remembered in 1 episode after SJK left RM, Suk Jin said that SJK can comeback because they have a new director. (The old one was replaced by a the new one) and YJS told him to shut up. I thought SJK had a conflict to their director back then that's why he leaves + his busy schedule that's why he disappeared in RM.
I think Gary cutting complete communication with the media and colleagues is the best move he made. They are very persistent to an obnoxious at convincing people to stay when all Gary needed is a break fromwirking for 20 years in the industry.
i think some members wanna get out from being a "RM member", i don't say at bad thing, but maybe they wanna promote as themself then as a RM member. I mean yeah sometimes we wanna known as we are then as any member of group like boyband or music group or whatever, so we just can pray them for the best, and hopefully they can come again to RM whatever they wanna be, maybe guest or being a member again.
@@ACTW667 Why would they suddenly fight because of the same character on the show. They had the same character for years and got along very well. Even hung out outside the show often. IMO, the distance started after Somin joined LKS’s agency. The agency might have asked them to keep a distance because of LKS’s relationship because people were still shipping them and it might lead to controversies. Even in 2019 and early 2020 when LKS had announced his relationship, they were still playing with each other until Somin joined his agency.
tahun lps berapa banyak kwangsoo main dkt show lain dgn jaesuk kwangsoo sembang je lebih focus berlakon. padahal time tu dy da kluar running man elok pulak dy main kt show lain. bg aq boleh je dy no focus berlakon but stay jela kt runningman knp nk kena keluar kn. mcm sukjin ritu pergi dubai shot show kt sne tp rileks je boleh stay kt runningman. haha ritu show hahabus psal family dy boleh je stay kt runningman. jongkook pergi mongolia lg shott kt sne total 8 episode tak silap rileks every week ada dy kt runningman. so aq rse mcm syg la kau da lama kt runningman satu fenomena tibatiba keluar percaya la jd pelakon ke main kt show lain ke mmg takkan dpt sambutan mcm mne tempat asal. kwangsoo dgn runningman umpama tempat dy lahir pergi la mana mana pun tetap org rse lebih function lg dy kt runningman. aq rse spe yg keluar runningman kn lps 2-3tahun mesti dy rasa diri menyesal. aq yakin dorg semua yg left runningman mesti rse lebih bersinar klau dorg stay je kt runningman. itu apa yg aq rse la. kau tengok la semua ahli running sorg sorg dpt award setiap tahun. jaesuk kalau pick org suruh join jd ahli runningman mmg tu la tangan verityshow dy org cakap tangan emas. tengok salah satu somin bpe lama dy na sebati dgn runningman da best org boleh terima sekali dy pulak left mmg kecewa btul. tp apa2 pun sampai ke harini aq still lg layan runningman. sbb haha masih lg kt sana sbb aura aura gila tu masih ada tinggal dy sorg.
The honorable leave is lee kwang soo..the show name is runningman of course it require leg and he leave because of his leg injury..trully eternal member of rm
And he actually the closest member to the cast and staffs of Running Man same as Yoo Jae Suk. So, he actually have a possibility to appeared again but its depends on his decision😄
dont know about lizzy and joongki, but gary and kwangsoo were bullied out because of the dumb pds who didnt know how to save the show, after ruining its concept...gary said its because of music, after he left, he made by far less music than before while in running man. they kept making fun of him and called him ugly in literally every single episode after like the 200th episode, just to bring some jokes in it. same with kwangsoo, yes he hurt his ankle but if you watch the last few episodes, you can see him running around and jaesuk jumping on his back to get a piggy ride from him, something jaesuk would have never done, if his ankle still would have hurt.
Sorry, but your opinions doesnt seems quite true Yes, i can agreed with you that running man pd changed the show concept, but its mainly because of the cast are old and they already got many injuries because of past concepts that requires so much physical. They changed the concept to saved the shows and the cast. In above 300th episode, they making fun to gary by calling him ugly is not actually the decision why gary left. They just teasing gary and also to help him get some screentime because gary started to being less active after Monday Couple breakup. Gary rarely talked in these episode. The reason is he doesnt have good entertainment skills same as Ji Hyo because they is well known by being an active members in physical activities. The shows concept changed, so gary left because he knows that he cant get much roles. And, in the end you said that jae suk get piggyback from kwang soo even kwang soo injured is not an issue.. Kwang soo is actually hurt his ankle, not his upper body. He knows his limit, even jae suk will asks him first if he actually feel hurt or not. Please dont make an useless opinion, as the regular fans and loyal fans from episode 1 until newest episode, i know what happened to them
@@jocelggg yes....gary just dont have screentime.....kwangsoo foot is hurt but not too hurt....it just he cannot run and do a lot of extreme things....we know kwangsoo...he will use everything and do anything even his body for the show....he must be worried himself that he cannot give 100% on the show....The reason must be big...If not Jaesuk will do everything to make kwangsoo stay...We know jaesuk love kwangsoo so much...their chemistry just amazing...
@@jocelggg Is your opinion useless too? Nobody have the right to order netizen to keep, to wipe away their ideas, their opinion, no matter their point of view, the violence, the stupidity BUT the previous comment wasn't at all libelous neither agressive. Like you wrote above, you proclaimed and surely call even nowadays yourself a fan from the beginning of the show and know everything of it(members included). I can't deny your loyalty and passion for this TV show. Nevertheless, the @Pruit srajak 's comment brought his/her point of view. I agree with it. As you have written, you still watch running man and cheer them. Let me present you my thoughts about Running man case. For me there are 4 main periods: the golden era(2010-2016), the transition (2016-2017), the resurgence(2017-2021), the rebuilding(2021-now). Don't forget that South Korea is a wealthy country. The members belong to the generation of prosperity (i can't see you 1997 crisis), Running man was their secondary activity but now it is their most important activity. If they have a chance to stay in the show they will take it. I remind you that Running man is a entertainment program, the pds will do everything to improve their pearl. You might forget that the current loveline of Running man was almost fired in the transition time. Getting older, hurting your body, accumulating aches, receiving bad taste jokes, playing intensive game didn't adapt with the previous team after 7 years. So some people getting bored or planning to focus on their main activity or sheltered to family. - One of the former original team member, Kang Gary is part of Running man history but not the "national narrative" of Running man (i don't know if you understand my comparison). Indeed, (of course after his farewell) when the members mentioned him (even when Lee Kwang Soo still was in the show), there were uncomfortable moments. It was like taboo word like mentioning his name, even if it was Song Ji Hyo who did it. Nowadays, GARY has a neutral image and is a father. Back then, Kang Gary had an average profile, he wasn't hated neither revered by Southern Korean. At the beginning of Running man, LEESSANG already was successful. He discovered the entertainment industry. The former pds chose him his future roles. (monday couple) Don't forget that at the beginning, Kim Jong Kook refused the loveline with Song Ji Hyo because of the previous experience with Yoon Eun Hye. Kang Gary is talented person, funny man but he doesn't have the ability of actor or always bringing good mood like former regular host. The monday couple helped both Kang Gary and Song Ji Hyo. But now, spartace couple erased the non-rewarded couple of "best couple award". -The last member who left the show, Lee Kwang Soo sent the excuse of his injuries. Running after 10 straight years and hurting your body aren't desirable. He made a good choice for his health. Carrying the show for 5 years after Gary's departure is immeasurable. Then he can focus on his acting career and perhaps private life. I hope you understand that you have written needless violence about dispensable topic. Here you are a video about Random Mr.capable : ua-cam.com/video/ptZzxniNcy0/v-deo.html ^^
@@smothph2833 "i hope you understand that you have written needless violence about dispensable topic" wow you are really no brainer. After watching some random video from fans and you said it was FACT and blame as as a VIOLENCER. Is that video maker is Running Man staff or something? Please use your brain. That also just an opinion from fans. I said my opinion, i dont need you to correct me because i watch from Running Man from beggining until now so i can freely give opinions. You talk like you are one of the Running Man cast, but you are nothing. I quite shame nowadays with people, after watching some documentary or videos, thay always thinks that it is true. I can freely makes my Opinion. But, you doesnt have any capabilities to said i am violence. You are not running man staff or something, so please be respectful
sory but after kwangsoo left runningman he got more varietys job then movies. .say he leg still injured but still doing variecty activites with YJS on other varieity. .
From what i know Lizzy leave because her character is diminishes and cannot get airtime anymore. That why member feel sorry for her. You can see when lizzy because guest in unlucky episode..... Jongki leave because he just busy with drama schedule... Gary leave because of he worry he lack of charater on the show and have less airtime and want to focus of his music...but end up getting a son and married... Kwangsoo leave because he want to heal his leg and explore his career....kwangsoo work hard...he must be worried himself that due to his injury, he cannot give 100% on the show.... I glad the show still go on....somin n sechan play huge role on making RM spirit alive....I will keep watching it to the very end
what actually u really know lol. After school back then is even more popular than running man. Running man hit golden year in 2012-2013. Doesnt make any sense if she choose to do the program instead of idol stuff. Back then lizzy airtime is even bigger than jihyo.
Haha and Jongkook said that if Lizzy stayed she would be famous, she left because of her girl group schedule they were successful at first but it ended fast
@@hahahah1090 I think that’s because the consequence of Kwang soo’s injury that make the program less physical. Therefore, he decided to leave as he doesn’t want to hold the program back.
The new variety shows is not same as running man, its just a few episode but running man shoots every week. If you watch Korea No 1, Kwang Soo said that he still have to be in rehabiliation once a week so being in running man every week is wuite hard for him.
i quit watching after the izzie reveal - it's entirely wrong - Lizzy has said that Running Man simply quit calling her - she was very disappointed - also - she was never treated as a regular cast member - she was always introduced as a guest after the regulars began the show - - over the years - there have been many repeat guests like her - Kang Hanna was on the show so frequently at one point - it became a joke - but she hasn't appeared in quit some time
@@aimanz9339 ohh yeah hopefully rm never invited her, if she was invited, that episode can be first eps i dont want to watch... Annoying act deserve edited out
@@badrulhafiz1886 She was a permanent members on Running Man. She confirmed that in an interview. Also, she was in the program airing pictures as well for a while
I read somewhere about LKS and So Min that there was something happened between them that make them uncomfortable...idk if this is true or not but you can see it in those episodes before LKS left. They less talk and at some point they don't even look at each other.
Nope, kwangsoo want to focus on his acting image. So he use his car accident as a legitimate reason. But I dont think that is a good move. Seeing he did not appear much these days. He tent to have narcistic behaviour.
@@lilyanne2676 Nah I wouldn't believe that...nothing from him until today no movie no drama. Just go and watch his interaction with Somin before he left.
No one really knows the real reason he left except for the ones close to him, but Somin had nothing to do with it. They still hangout outside of the show. She talks about it on another show. Another comedian also said she saw Kwangsoo, Sechan & Somin coming to church together.
@@hahashahlol you talk with no brain or please do some research first. Kwangsoo is more to movie actor than drama actor. Because i heard this before.. in korea , there have two kind of actor. Quality and idol looking actor.. kwangsoo pursue to quality actor. That is why he never or less appear in any movie because he pick the good quality script. While you see nowadays in k drama .. all of them mostly idol looking actor. Qualification?? Good handsome beauty than u will be selected. But acting?? All like wood. Not neutral at all. Hahaha...
@@deanovita9160 it was not revealed why but its most likely due to her subpar variety skills. She is easily overshadowed by other members and she's not witty enough in keeping up unless the members ask her opinion or do some aegyo in relation to a specific situation(she is known for her aegyo in her idol group). A lot of her scenes were cut by the pd according to her. In terms of popularity within her idol group she's about in the middle, in short she's not really popular(her idol groups popularity were dominated by Uee and Nana for obvious reasons). Running man at that time is struggling for views so its not a surprise for the management to remove her. Her career never really took off after running man nor after her groups disbandment.
@@NhatHanPham its not the same. For jae suk, jihyo and some staff they go a long way because of family outing show. And jihyo getting favored more its not because of the relationship with jae suk or the staff, its because she's an actress. By hierarchy, being an actor/actress makes you at the top of the entertainment industry wether your just starting out or not, in short jihyo is favored by means of respect. (if you're not aware these are the hierarchy for the korean entertainment, 1-actor, 2-singer, 3-idol, 4-entertainer, 5-comedian.) And lizzy falls in the middle not to mention she's not popular among her idol group.
@@NhatHanPham you're missing the point, PDs knows who to invest. wether a c list or not, she still an actress, and that investment paid off. if Uee or Nana is casted instead of lizzy that might be a different story.
@@Xecrid it’s not I’m missing the point, you was trashing Lizzy first. I was just saying they was both the same in term of variety skill, only PD gave her favor. Also, if they fired because of bad variety skill, it’s easy to replace her with another actress before the show blow-up for you claim of actress status. There are plenty of actresses available out there for casting. SJH was truly given chances because of nepotism
How very rude for Kang Gary to treat his friends an colleagues with such disrespect. Rude, ignorant and lacking the most basic manners! What a horrible person. If I had known him for so many years and he treated me like that, if I ever met him again, I would give him the dirtiest look possible and walk on! 😡😡😡
It doesnt quite rude for me to said that, song joong ki doesnt have any charm in the variety shows. In running man, he also rarely get enough screentime and just known as flower boy because of his good face looking.

If my friend suddenly leave me without saying a word, I admit I would be upset at first but eventually if that what makes them happy then who am I to stop them. If I’m calling my friend selfish for leaving me, wouldn’t I be just as selfish for forcing them to stay. Let that man be at a place where he feel safe and secure, even if it means away from his friends.
Agree with you, i think the reason gary cut all of his connection is somehow related to his marriage. He didnt even publish who his wife is until months later. Who knows what will happen if he publish it right away. Some may attack him or his wife because of it, especially some "delusional" monday couple shipper.
You being happy about your friend being happy makes you the good friend and them no less shitty.
@@QuantumFishFTW Not even knowing the truth behind the reason why Gary decided to disappear and just assumed he's a shitty friend, I think that's even more shitty. Gary could've been the good friend that got stuck with a bunch of shitty friends and leaving is the only choice he could think of so his family could have a peaceful life.
@@shin18chan it's really not that hard to let people know if you consider them your friend. Hate to break it to you but if he didn't bother then they must've not been that important to him. He made his choice.
@@QuantumFishFTW I sometime leave for a year or so without contacting my family and friends. Letting people know would be harder for me cause there will be some of them that will try to talk me out of it. Being friends with me for so long, they understand that I needed time to focus on myself and will always come greet me when I return. And I do the same for them because we friends know each other well enough. I'm pretty sure if the members think Gary is their friend they would understand his reason for doing so. If they, his own friends, won't even consider him as a shitty person it's just dumb for us, the outsiders to judge his action when we literally know nothing about it.
I know Running Man when it about 400 episodes, then I tried to catch up from episode 1, the first longest episodes that I followed, but the vibes are not the same when Gary left, but the vibes goes up again when Se Chan and So Min joined, then Kwang Soo left, it felt like the vibes drop again, and recently So Min also left 😢
Mark my words, kwang soo will return to the show.
1 year passed...where is kwang soo? You talk shit only
2 years.. hii
this age poorly
I think pretty we will have old/original cast members leaving and being replaced with new once. The old cast members are pretty "old" now. Jaesuk hyung is 50, JongKook hyung and Haha hyung is almost there, too. Not to mention Sukjin hyuing. Song JiHyo noona is getting pretty old, too. So, I'm expecting a complete change of the show's style pretty soon. Either they will have more chill, not physically tasking tasks, or they will have to replace the old cast members. Worst case scenario is that they will have to end the program. By pretty soon, I mean at least 3 - 5 years from now.
Either way, I have not regretted knowing and loving the show. It has became a part of my weekly life for over 8 years now.
they might just take a high road and end the show altogether for a new one.
I hope they do running man but more chill style. They really are a family
Believe me guys, there are no new or other running man shows than this cast..These cast bring korean variety shows to be popular worldwide so its quite unpleasent to makes new MC and cast to use Running Man names. They cannot replace Jae Suk as main MC ,Ji Suk Jin and Kim Jong Kook as his support. Gary departure is not big because they already got So Min and Se Chan that better in entertainment and talkshow skills. Kwang Soo departure actually means a lot because he carried the shows in terms of funny roles. But, some cast as Ji Suk Jin and Se Chan can fill his role even we knows that they cannot be as good as kwang soo.
In the end, we can see that Running Man will end with all members will leave the shows including the main MC Yoo Jae Suk. Same what happened to Infinite Challenge
Lizzy - because she tries her best but always gets edited out so she just left
Joongki - to focus on acting career
Gary - looks so done already with etertainment world.
LKS - also looks done with RM busy schedule and want to focus more on acting.
I miss Kang Gary a lot...He is so funny, handsome and intelligent
I really hope one day there are a special episode where the left member came back as a guest
They had they own good reasons to leave the show,we really understand that and i still keep watching RM after Kwang Spo left...
I think Kwang Soo left the show because he wanted to get rid of his "stupid" image to get various roles in his acting career. Ever since he was with Running Man he always got stupid characters. For Lizzy, she seemed incompatible for this show which was famous for the nametag ripping game at that time.
Lizzy says she was fired when she guest again in one of the episodes
People might hate me for saying this, but the song jong ki leaving was never a big lost for running man. Gary and kwang soo were the biggest lost.
I remembered in 1 episode after SJK left RM, Suk Jin said that SJK can comeback because they have a new director. (The old one was replaced by a the new one) and YJS told him to shut up. I thought SJK had a conflict to their director back then that's why he leaves + his busy schedule that's why he disappeared in RM.
I think its time to close running man because lately episodes were not funnny as they were usual, it becomes like talk shows....
Only jongki departure proved to be bless.
Did not see yet with the rest
I think Gary cutting complete communication with the media and colleagues is the best move he made. They are very persistent to an obnoxious at convincing people to stay when all Gary needed is a break fromwirking for 20 years in the industry.
i think some members wanna get out from being a "RM member", i don't say at bad thing, but maybe they wanna promote as themself then as a RM member. I mean yeah sometimes we wanna known as we are then as any member of group like boyband or music group or whatever, so we just can pray them for the best, and hopefully they can come again to RM whatever they wanna be, maybe guest or being a member again.
If u notice kwangsoo interaction with somin is weird on 2/3 episodes before he left, even on the last episode
They even unfollow each other on instagram..I think that they fight with each other because of the same character on the show
@@ACTW667 Why would they suddenly fight because of the same character on the show. They had the same character for years and got along very well. Even hung out outside the show often.
IMO, the distance started after Somin joined LKS’s agency. The agency might have asked them to keep a distance because of LKS’s relationship because people were still shipping them and it might lead to controversies.
Even in 2019 and early 2020 when LKS had announced his relationship, they were still playing with each other until Somin joined his agency.
PD old same 7-10years good bye 2010-2020 but PD Choi Bo Pill new Family 2021
Gary want to get married.. Lee kwang soo just want focus more on his acting career
tahun lps berapa banyak kwangsoo main dkt show lain dgn jaesuk kwangsoo sembang je lebih focus berlakon.
padahal time tu dy da kluar running man elok pulak dy main kt show lain. bg aq boleh je dy no focus berlakon but stay jela kt runningman knp nk kena keluar kn. mcm sukjin ritu pergi dubai shot show kt sne tp rileks je boleh stay kt runningman.
haha ritu show hahabus psal family dy boleh je stay kt runningman. jongkook pergi mongolia lg shott kt sne total 8 episode tak silap rileks every week ada dy kt runningman. so aq rse mcm syg la kau da lama kt runningman satu fenomena tibatiba keluar
percaya la jd pelakon ke main kt show lain ke mmg takkan dpt sambutan mcm mne tempat asal. kwangsoo dgn runningman umpama tempat dy lahir pergi la mana mana pun tetap org rse lebih function lg dy kt runningman.
aq rse spe yg keluar runningman kn lps 2-3tahun mesti dy rasa diri menyesal. aq yakin dorg semua yg left runningman mesti rse lebih bersinar klau dorg stay je kt runningman. itu apa yg aq rse la.
kau tengok la semua ahli running sorg sorg dpt award setiap tahun.
jaesuk kalau pick org suruh join jd ahli runningman mmg tu la tangan verityshow dy org cakap tangan emas. tengok salah satu somin bpe lama dy na sebati dgn runningman da best org boleh terima sekali dy pulak left mmg kecewa btul.
tp apa2 pun sampai ke harini aq still lg layan runningman. sbb haha masih lg kt sana sbb aura aura gila tu masih ada tinggal dy sorg.
The honorable leave is lee kwang soo..the show name is runningman of course it require leg and he leave because of his leg injury..trully eternal member of rm
And he actually the closest member to the cast and staffs of Running Man same as Yoo Jae Suk. So, he actually have a possibility to appeared again but its depends on his decision😄
dont know about lizzy and joongki, but gary and kwangsoo were bullied out because of the dumb pds who didnt know how to save the show, after ruining its concept...gary said its because of music, after he left, he made by far less music than before while in running man. they kept making fun of him and called him ugly in literally every single episode after like the 200th episode, just to bring some jokes in it.
same with kwangsoo, yes he hurt his ankle but if you watch the last few episodes, you can see him running around and jaesuk jumping on his back to get a piggy ride from him, something jaesuk would have never done, if his ankle still would have hurt.
Sorry, but your opinions doesnt seems quite true
Yes, i can agreed with you that running man pd changed the show concept, but its mainly because of the cast are old and they already got many injuries because of past concepts that requires so much physical. They changed the concept to saved the shows and the cast.
In above 300th episode, they making fun to gary by calling him ugly is not actually the decision why gary left. They just teasing gary and also to help him get some screentime because gary started to being less active after Monday Couple breakup. Gary rarely talked in these episode. The reason is he doesnt have good entertainment skills same as Ji Hyo because they is well known by being an active members in physical activities. The shows concept changed, so gary left because he knows that he cant get much roles.
And, in the end you said that jae suk get piggyback from kwang soo even kwang soo injured is not an issue.. Kwang soo is actually hurt his ankle, not his upper body. He knows his limit, even jae suk will asks him first if he actually feel hurt or not.
Please dont make an useless opinion, as the regular fans and loyal fans from episode 1 until newest episode, i know what happened to them
@@jocelggg yes....gary just dont have screentime.....kwangsoo foot is hurt but not too hurt....it just he cannot run and do a lot of extreme things....we know kwangsoo...he will use everything and do anything even his body for the show....he must be worried himself that he cannot give 100% on the show....The reason must be big...If not Jaesuk will do everything to make kwangsoo stay...We know jaesuk love kwangsoo so much...their chemistry just amazing...
@@jocelggg Is your opinion useless too? Nobody have the right to order netizen to keep, to wipe away their ideas, their opinion, no matter their point of view, the violence, the stupidity BUT the previous comment wasn't at all libelous neither agressive.
Like you wrote above, you proclaimed and surely call even nowadays yourself a fan from the beginning of the show and know everything of it(members included).
I can't deny your loyalty and passion for this TV show.
Nevertheless, the @Pruit srajak 's comment brought his/her point of view. I agree with it. As you have written, you still watch running man and cheer them.
Let me present you my thoughts about Running man case.
For me there are 4 main periods: the golden era(2010-2016), the transition (2016-2017), the resurgence(2017-2021), the rebuilding(2021-now).
Don't forget that South Korea is a wealthy country. The members belong to the generation of prosperity (i can't see you 1997 crisis), Running man was their secondary activity but now it is their most important activity. If they have a chance to stay in the show they will take it.
I remind you that Running man is a entertainment program, the pds will do everything to improve their pearl. You might forget that the current loveline of Running man was almost fired in the transition time.
Getting older, hurting your body, accumulating aches, receiving bad taste jokes, playing intensive game didn't adapt with the previous team after 7 years. So some people getting bored or planning to focus on their main activity or sheltered to family.
- One of the former original team member, Kang Gary is part of Running man history but not the "national narrative" of Running man (i don't know if you understand my comparison). Indeed, (of course after his farewell) when the members mentioned him (even when Lee Kwang Soo still was in the show), there were uncomfortable moments. It was like taboo word like mentioning his name, even if it was Song Ji Hyo who did it.
Nowadays, GARY has a neutral image and is a father.
Back then, Kang Gary had an average profile, he wasn't hated neither revered by Southern Korean. At the beginning of Running man, LEESSANG already was successful. He discovered the entertainment industry. The former pds chose him his future roles. (monday couple)
Don't forget that at the beginning, Kim Jong Kook refused the loveline with Song Ji Hyo because of the previous experience with Yoon Eun Hye.
Kang Gary is talented person, funny man but he doesn't have the ability of actor or always bringing good mood like former regular host. The monday couple helped both Kang Gary and Song Ji Hyo. But now, spartace couple erased the non-rewarded couple of "best couple award".
-The last member who left the show, Lee Kwang Soo sent the excuse of his injuries. Running after 10 straight years and hurting your body aren't desirable. He made a good choice for his health. Carrying the show for 5 years after Gary's departure is immeasurable. Then he can focus on his acting career and perhaps private life.
I hope you understand that you have written needless violence about dispensable topic.
Here you are a video about Random Mr.capable : ua-cam.com/video/ptZzxniNcy0/v-deo.html
^^
@@smothph2833 "i hope you understand that you have written needless violence about dispensable topic" wow you are really no brainer. After watching some random video from fans and you said it was FACT and blame as as a VIOLENCER. Is that video maker is Running Man staff or something? Please use your brain. That also just an opinion from fans. I said my opinion, i dont need you to correct me because i watch from Running Man from beggining until now so i can freely give opinions. You talk like you are one of the Running Man cast, but you are nothing. I quite shame nowadays with people, after watching some documentary or videos, thay always thinks that it is true.
I can freely makes my Opinion. But, you doesnt have any capabilities to said i am violence. You are not running man staff or something, so please be respectful
I thought song joongki leave because of military enlistment?
Can’t watch in Europe isn’t within region.
The show name is " The return of Superman''☺
Nhớ Kwang Soo quá trời😢
sory but after kwangsoo left runningman he got more varietys job then movies. .say he leg still injured but still doing variecty activites with YJS on other varieity. .
From what i know
Lizzy leave because her character is diminishes and cannot get airtime anymore. That why member feel sorry for her. You can see when lizzy because guest in unlucky episode.....
Jongki leave because he just busy with drama schedule...
Gary leave because of he worry he lack of charater on the show and have less airtime and want to focus of his music...but end up getting a son and married...
Kwangsoo leave because he want to heal his leg and explore his career....kwangsoo work hard...he must be worried himself that due to his injury, he cannot give 100% on the show....
I glad the show still go on....somin n sechan play huge role on making RM spirit alive....I will keep watching it to the very end
what actually u really know lol. After school back then is even more popular than running man. Running man hit golden year in 2012-2013. Doesnt make any sense if she choose to do the program instead of idol stuff. Back then lizzy airtime is even bigger than jihyo.
Haha and Jongkook said that if Lizzy stayed she would be famous, she left because of her girl group schedule they were successful at first but it ended fast
Kwang so wanted more money/prestige.. Lizzie was always a temp member.
KS leaving RM because of injury. Then I saw him lead in a new variety show. I ask myself, what the heck? Injury?
you do realize RM is a variety show with a lot of physical activities, right?
RM need physical game.. U see kwang soo character always been penalties. He need his strength back
@@bayupran but RM right now have less physical than old runingman. I think maybe he consider his career as an actor.
@@hahahah1090 I think that’s because the consequence of Kwang soo’s injury that make the program less physical. Therefore, he decided to leave as he doesn’t want to hold the program back.
The new variety shows is not same as running man, its just a few episode but running man shoots every week. If you watch Korea No 1, Kwang Soo said that he still have to be in rehabiliation once a week so being in running man every week is wuite hard for him.
Lizzy leaves because she didnt have many scenes and its wasting her time if shes not aired!
i quit watching after the izzie reveal - it's entirely wrong - Lizzy has said that Running Man simply quit calling her - she was very disappointed - also - she was never treated as a regular cast member - she was always introduced as a guest after the regulars began the show - - over the years - there have been many repeat guests like her - Kang Hanna was on the show so frequently at one point - it became a joke - but she hasn't appeared in quit some time
IDC with the other ex member but kwangsoo. Hope he will comeback to RM soon
Song junkie ? 😄
Was lizzy official member of RM? I didn’t know yet
She was but for like only 6 or 7 episodes
No she not she just guest never take her as member...
@@badrulhafiz1886 really?😅even yjs said she's an official member
@@aimanz9339 ohh yeah hopefully rm never invited her, if she was invited, that episode can be first eps i dont want to watch... Annoying act deserve edited out
@@badrulhafiz1886 She was a permanent members on Running Man. She confirmed that in an interview. Also, she was in the program airing pictures as well for a while
you guy all wrong , beside Lizzy ,all the man leave to get married , that apply for Kwangsoo too ,soon !
ย้อนดูไม่มีแกรี่ไม่สนุกเลยคิดถึงคู่รักวันจันทร์
I read somewhere about LKS and So Min that there was something happened between them that make them uncomfortable...idk if this is true or not but you can see it in those episodes before LKS left. They less talk and at some point they don't even look at each other.
Nope, kwangsoo want to focus on his acting image. So he use his car accident as a legitimate reason. But I dont think that is a good move. Seeing he did not appear much these days. He tent to have narcistic behaviour.
@@lilyanne2676 Nah I wouldn't believe that...nothing from him until today no movie no drama. Just go and watch his interaction with Somin before he left.
No one really knows the real reason he left except for the ones close to him, but Somin had nothing to do with it. They still hangout outside of the show. She talks about it on another show. Another comedian also said she saw Kwangsoo, Sechan & Somin coming to church together.
@@hahashahlol you talk with no brain or please do some research first. Kwangsoo is more to movie actor than drama actor. Because i heard this before.. in korea , there have two kind of actor. Quality and idol looking actor.. kwangsoo pursue to quality actor. That is why he never or less appear in any movie because he pick the good quality script. While you see nowadays in k drama .. all of them mostly idol looking actor. Qualification?? Good handsome beauty than u will be selected. But acting?? All like wood. Not neutral at all. Hahaha...
So ?
Lol. Lizzy didn't leave, she was fired.
May i know why they fired her?
@@deanovita9160 it was not revealed why but its most likely due to her subpar variety skills. She is easily overshadowed by other members and she's not witty enough in keeping up unless the members ask her opinion or do some aegyo in relation to a specific situation(she is known for her aegyo in her idol group). A lot of her scenes were cut by the pd according to her. In terms of popularity within her idol group she's about in the middle, in short she's not really popular(her idol groups popularity were dominated by Uee and Nana for obvious reasons). Running man at that time is struggling for views so its not a surprise for the management to remove her. Her career never really took off after running man nor after her groups disbandment.
@@NhatHanPham its not the same. For jae suk, jihyo and some staff they go a long way because of family outing show. And jihyo getting favored more its not because of the relationship with jae suk or the staff, its because she's an actress. By hierarchy, being an actor/actress makes you at the top of the entertainment industry wether your just starting out or not, in short jihyo is favored by means of respect. (if you're not aware these are the hierarchy for the korean entertainment, 1-actor, 2-singer, 3-idol, 4-entertainer, 5-comedian.) And lizzy falls in the middle not to mention she's not popular among her idol group.
@@NhatHanPham you're missing the point, PDs knows who to invest. wether a c list or not, she still an actress, and that investment paid off. if Uee or Nana is casted instead of lizzy that might be a different story.
@@Xecrid it’s not I’m missing the point, you was trashing Lizzy first. I was just saying they was both the same in term of variety skill, only PD gave her favor. Also, if they fired because of bad variety skill, it’s easy to replace her with another actress before the show blow-up for you claim of actress status. There are plenty of actresses available out there for casting. SJH was truly given chances because of nepotism
How very rude for Kang Gary to treat his friends an colleagues with such disrespect. Rude, ignorant and lacking the most basic manners! What a horrible person. If I had known him for so many years and he treated me like that, if I ever met him again, I would give him the dirtiest look possible and walk on! 😡😡😡
If gary were your friends, he would've cut ties with you for more than 3 years
Lee kwang soo left and the physical demads arent here anymore either lmao, rm doesnt do cheses anymore they just do quizes etc 😭
Hmm! 🤔
Soong Jong Ki came back once as a guest….
It doesnt quite rude for me to said that, song joong ki doesnt have any charm in the variety shows. In running man, he also rarely get enough screentime and just known as flower boy because of his good face looking.
@@jocelggg yes....because of character...its hard to be funny...that why I think somin and sechan is so good....they like rainbow to RM.....they have many colour and very responsive....they do well even now 6 years on RM already
Yeah that's what they do in movies this days ,lol
