My Entertainment announced that Song Ji-hyo's last day of recording for "Running Man" will be the 19th.

Few of the reasons she's stepping down is because "Running Man" has come to a renewal point and she wants to concentrate on her original job. There has been a lot of drama offers and she's also hosting a beauty show.

Kim Jong-kook's management stated that he was notified of his stepping down on the 12th and the last recording day will be the 19th. He's going to come back with solo albums and Turbo albums.

Rumors say Kang Ho-dong and Park Myung-soo are likely members of the new team and apparently Kang Ho-dong is confirmed, but not Park Myung-soo. More updates will be made regarding the renewal of "Running Man" and its new members.
