Lee Kwang Soo's Apology
To know why Lee Kwang Soo apologized to the cast of Running Man, one needs to watch the next episode, which will air on June 13 at 5 p.m. KST on SBS. Lee Kwang Soo announced in the end of April that he had decided to leave the show due to health issues.
The It's Okay, Its Love actor's agency KINGKONG by STARSHIP had stated: "Lee Kwang Soo is concentrating on recovering from ankle injury. He has decided to take some time off and prioritize his recovery. The actor had met with an accident in February 2020 and is undergoing rehabilitation."
Meanwhile, it is still not known who will replace Lee Kwang Soo in the further episodes of Running Man. Speculations are rife that either Star Up actress Kang Ha Na or When The Camellia Blooms actor Kim Ji Seok are likely to be made the offer. But there is no confirmation on the issue and it is likely that the announcement about the new cast will be made after airing of the June 13 episode.
