SBS’ popular variety show “Running Man” will be adding Yang Se-chan and Jeon So-min to its cast, its production team said Monday.

They will become regulars on the show, joining its six existing members: Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Kwang-soo, Song Ji-hyo, Kim Jong-kook, Ji Suk-jin and Haha.

Yang and Jeon previously appeared on the program as guests.

“They’ve shown good chemistry with the original cast. Also, the episodes they appeared on drew high viewership ratings,” the production team said.

Since its launch in July 2010, “Running Man” has enjoyed popularity at home and overseas.

The show was almost canceled over disputes with the cast last year, but the producers decided to keep it running.
