Rumors are rife that "Descendants of the Sun" star Song Joong Ki will be back in "Running Man" after member Kang Gary left the show.
There is a possibility that South Korean broadcast network SBS is bringing back Song Joong Ki in the aforementioned variety show since Kang Gary has decided to focus solely in his music. Joong Ki was once part of the main cast, but has to leave for his mandatory military service.
However, Joong Ki is still close with the rest of the "Running Man" members and has made several guest appearances in the show. If rumors are to be believed, the show plans to bring back Joong Ki to boost the ratings of the show. The show's ratings dipped low, but due to its international fan base, the show is saved from being cancelled.
This is not the first time that Kang Gary left the show. He attempted to resign from his post in the main cast following a scandal. However, he was proven innocent and was asked to come back. This time, his departure raised a lot of questions, especially what will happen to the Monday Couple now that its half is gone.
Meanwhile, Song Joong Ki once developed a love line with fellow member Song Jihyo and they were dubbed as the Song-Song Couple (which should not be mistaken with his love team with Song Hye Kyo).
While bringing back Song Joong Ki in the show, producers offered no confirmation yet. The actor is currently busy with the production of his new movie "Battleship Island," which will premiere next year. Moreover, the hit drama "Descendants of the Sun" was confirmed to have a second season and Joong Ki will, once again, don his uniform for Yoo Si Jin.
