THE KWANG SOO QUESTION

Although we will see him until June, the time of his departure on the show is nigh. His final recording is just days ahead. May 24. I assume that because we will see him until June, because of that live show on Youtube, which was only broadcast last week. And that live show, happened a long time ago. Maybe they had a buffer of episodes to show, and that means, we will still see Kwang Soo for a few last episodes, after May. Maybe we will stop seeing him in Running Man on late June, or early July.

Now there is talks, that his slot will be filled by a new member. I somehow agree with it, and it doesn't mean replacing Lee Kwang Soo. He will be forever a family for the production, for the members, and for us viewers. He will be on the pantheon, of Running Man members, former and active. He will not be forgotten.

If they will not fill Lee Kwang Soo's slot. The inevitable thing is, the show will end. And that will have a bad psychological effect on Lee Kwang Soo. He may thought of it like, I left the show and the show ends. And I don't want the show to end. And I believe, SBS doesn't want the show to end. Philippines recently bought the rights of the format to show Running Man, through GMA. What does that mean? If the show ends, they can't sell Running Man anymore. It's both profitable in Korea still, and internationally.

Although there is denial, that they will fill Lee Kwang Soo's slot. Because of the two factors, that I laid. I think they will do. And again, I am in agreement. And now names have popped up.

I have just read the article, that Kang Hanna, and Kim Ji Suk, are rumored to fill the slot. Both have been a guest in the past. But Hanna have more appearances than him. And among the two, because of her former appearances, I like Hanna to have the slot.

Many fans though preferred Lee Sang Yeob, because of his being like Lee Kwang Soo, character wise in Running Man. He is funny too, and somewhat gullible, as a character though in TV, not in person.

But I have two candidates, that are not very popular, and maybe not practical nor conventional. Here they are:

Kang Ho Dong. His somewhat introduction to the show, almost ended it years ago. But when he knew, that Song Ji Hyo and Kim Jong Kook was unfairly being kicked out, he backed out of it. But what if not of that deal happened? Would he have been accepted back then? No one would know. And people in Korea, had been longing for a Yoo Jae Suk and a Kang Ho Dong show, that they are together. The thing is there is a chance today, for that to happen.

The second is. Lee Sun Bin. She have also appeared on the show in the past. And she is also a strong woman, that can go toe to toe with Song Ji Hyo in strength. But she is also the girlfriend of Lee Kwang Soo. If she joins the show. somewhat, somehow, it's like that Lee Kwang Soo never left at all. Do you agree with me?

Although their are many names. One will only fill the void. And it might also be, not in the names in this article of mine.
