Running Man Members Faced COVID-19 Scare
Jeon So Min is not the only Running Man member to face a health scare.
Last week, the entire cast of the variety show underwent mass testing for COVID-19 following super Junior Eunhyuk's positive result. The K-pop idol made an appearance on the show on January 17.
SBS confirmed that all the show's cast members and staff would undergo PCR tests on Friday. Later that day, Yoo Jae Seok's agency, Antenna Music, revealed that the Nation's MC tested negative for the virus.
Ji Suk Jin and HaHa's representatives also shared the same statements. Jeon So Min's King Kong by Starship, Kim Jong Kook's Turbo JK Company, and Yang Se Chan's SM C&C also said that the members tested negative.
However, Creative Group ING said that Song Ji Hyo tested negative but would need to self-quarantine due to her vaccination status. It explained that the actress is currently unvaccinated due to a drug allergy.
"When Song Ji Hyo was a child, she was diagnosed with a drug allergy. In 2011, she received a Ringer's injection to recover her stamina during her busy schedule, but she had a bad reaction in which blotches rose up all over her body and she became short of breath," it went on.
With that said, fans can expect that they won't see two members of the shot in the meantime.
