After 11 Long Years, Lee Kwang Soo Is Saying Goodbye To ‘Running Man’

Recently, actor Lee Kwang Soo announced he will be leaving SBS’s hit game reality show Running Man. His label King Kong by Starship confirmed this in an official press statement.

According to the agency,

“We notify that Lee Kwang Soo will be leaving the cast of SBS’s ‘Running Man’ after his final recording on May 24.

After becoming involved in his car accident last year, Lee Kwang Soo has received regular physical therapy; despite the continued treatment, there were times when he felt that it was difficult to maintain top physical condition during ‘Running Man’ filmings. As a result, Lee Kwang Soo held lengthy conversations with the production staff, crew, his fellow cast members, as well as the agency, and ultimately arrived at the conclusion that he needed time to recuperate, both physically and mentally.

Because it is a program that Lee Kwang Soo called his home for the past 11 years, it was difficult for him to come to this decision. However, it was inevitable when considering his intention to show viewers a better image in the future.

We sincerely thank all of the viewers for the love they showed Lee Kwang Soo on ‘Running Man’. Lee Kwang Soo promises to greet you all again with a bright and healthy image.”

February last year, the actor involved in a car accident. As a result, he suffers fractures in his right ankle.

The actor was popular for his comedic timing and antics in the show. He has been with the show since its pilot in 2010. He is one of the oldest members along with Yoo Jae Suk. Now, he is following the steps of other former cast members like Kang Gary and his friend, Song Joong-ki. Kwang Soo even nicknamed ‘Betrayer’ because of his tendency to annex his teammates as part of his strategy.
