JAKARTA - The SBS television channel officially closed the Running Man comment column on its website regarding hate comments to the variety show members. This comment column was originally opened free of charge to viewers who wanted to share with Running Man, but the responses were different.

Tuesday, June 9, SBS stated; “Due to criminal comments such as discrimination, excessive slander, and impersonation of members, audience message columns will not be made public. We ask for understanding on this. "

Television programs in South Korea generally have a comment section for the public so that they can post comments, messages, and discuss with producers and program personnel. However, this step has been misused by some people to act negatively.

Although they don't mention specifics, Running Man fans believe this is to protect Jeon So-min, one of the actresses who is a regular player of this show.

Jeon So-min and Yang Se-chan were the last Running Man members to join in 2017. At that time, this variety show received ratings that continued to decline. However, the presence of the two of them brought fresh air so that Running Man could last until now.

But along with his high rating, Jeon So-min is often the target of hatred. This made him take a break from Running Man last March. Reporting from the Korea JoongAng Daily, Wednesday, June 10, his younger sibling revealed the criminal comments that his brother and family received, such as; "Jeon So-min comes out of Running Man" and "Your family will be cursed"

After returning last May, hate comments filled his social media even more. Jeon So-min even reminded her impersonator (impersonator) in the comments column and clarified that it was not her.

In addition, many fans were not satisfied with the actions of Yang Se-chan and So-min in Running Man, who were considered to have no chemistry with the original members; Yoo Jae Suk, Song Jihyo, Lee Kwang Soo, HaHa, Kim Jong Kook, and Ji Suk Jin.

Meanwhile, Running Man will celebrate 10 years of broadcast this year. The popularity that the members still feel makes this variety show a constant favorite among viewers in Asia and China. Who likes watching Running Man with this formation?
