SBS’ beloved variety show “Running Man” reversed its decision to cancel the program, SBS said on Tuesday.

After the controversy surrounding the program regarding the changing line-up of cast members for their second season, SBS said on Dec. 16, 2016 that they decided to cancel the show in February.

Ever since, the fans have been expressing their regret on the cancelation which led the production crew to reconsider the decision.
