SBS' 'Running Man' will continue on with the show despite the previous reports that the show will be ending.
On January 24, SBS released a press statement saying that in response to the overwhelming statements from disappointed fans, the show will be continuing with the current six members.
SBS said, "Director Nam Seung Yong of SBS Entertainment, who first planned 'Running Man' back in 2010, met with each of the cast members in the beginning of the year. He apologized for what happened during the attempts to reformat the show, and all six members agreed to keep going."
Director Nam Seung Yong said, "Thank you to the 'Running Man' members for making this difficult decision. And for the fans, we will do our best to pay you back for your seven years of unwavering love with even more fun episodes in the future."
Prior to this announcement, it was announced that the show will be ending in February 2017 after a controversy regarding the removal of Song Ji Hyo and Kim Jong Kook from the show due to reformatting.
