• Jeon So Min's Comeback to 'Running Man' Brings Big Laughs and High Ratings, But Her Drama Faces a Tough Time With Low Viewership

    Jeon So Min is back on Running Man, and fans can’t stop laughing at her amazing comedic skills. But while her variety show return is a hit, her new drama is struggling to gain attention.

    On January 19, Jeon So Min joined the SBS variety show Running Man as a guest alongside actor Choi Daniel, her co-star from the KBS Joy drama Sorry Not Sorry.

    Fans were thrilled to see her return after leaving the show in November 2023, following six and a half years as a regular cast member.

    Despite being away from Running Man for over a year, Jeon So Min showed she hasn’t lost her touch. Her jokes and quick wit had everyone in stitches.

    She even brought back her playful love-line with Yang Se Chan, teasing him about his kindness toward Ji Ye Eun, the new youngest member of the cast. “Do you like her that much? I saw you being so nice to her on TV”, she joked, adding, “Are you in love with her?”

    In one hilarious moment, Jeon So Min joined Ji Ye Eun for a game involving a seated row exercise machine.

    As Ji Ye Eun kept giving wrong answers and getting whipped cream sprayed on her, Jeon So Min couldn’t help but joke, “Why are you so weak?” Her quick thinking and funny antics kept the laughs coming.

    Thanks to Jeon So Min’s return, Running Man recorded strong ratings, securing a 2.4% viewership in the key 20-49 demographic and peaking at 6.4% overall, according to Nielsen Korea. It’s still the top variety show in its time slot!

    Meanwhile, Jeon So Min is also starring in the KBS Joy drama Sorry Not Sorry, where she plays Ji Song, a divorced woman navigating life after her fiancé unexpectedly leaves her.

    At a press event, she shared, “I wanted this drama to show the familiar side of me that fans know from variety shows. It’s also a chance for people who haven’t seen my acting to discover another side of me.”

    However, the drama has struggled to find viewers, with ratings ranging from 0.3% to 0.5% after six episodes. Fans think the low numbers might be due to the niche channel and its weekly schedule.

    While her variety show skills continue to shine, many hope that Jeon So Min’s acting projects will also get the recognition they deserve.

    With her undeniable charm and talent, it might just be a matter of time before her acting career hits the same high notes as her Running Man appearances.

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
