Jeon So-min Opens Up About Her Departure from Running Man and Addresses Online Criticism

In the latest episode of TV Chosun's culinary show, 식객 허영만의 백반기행 (Chef Oh Young-man's Dining Journey), Jeon So-min shared her thoughts on leaving Running Man and discussed the impact of baseless online criticism. During her food journey in Yongsan, Seoul, Jeon reflected on her career, revealing that she started as a magazine model at the age of 19 and expressed her long-standing desire to be a singer, despite admitting she isn't very good at singing.
Regarding her time on Running Man, she mentioned, 'I appeared twice before becoming a regular for seven years. The main hosts were all established members, and I contributed to the show with my character. It was truly a happy workplace for me.'
When addressing the negative comments she receives, Jeon stated, 'The more attention you get, the more likely you are to face hurtful remarks. While many people experience criticism, I would reflect deeply if there were valid reasons behind it.' She continued, 'However, I feel that many of the criticisms I receive lack justification. Sometimes I think that getting married soon might help me build a stronger support system.'
