[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] SBS's 'Running Man' announced on the 9th that it has switched its viewer bulletin board to private due to malicious comments.

On this day, SBS's 'Running Man' stated through its official website, "Due to indiscriminate profanity, excessive slander, impersonation of cast members, and other malicious comments, the viewer bulletin board has been switched to private." They added, "We ask for the understanding of our viewers."

Accordingly, netizens who wish to leave their impressions of 'Running Man' can do so privately through the bulletin board after logging in on the SBS official website.

The production team's decision to switch to private appears to be a measure to prevent malicious comments directed at 'Running Man' cast members.

Previously, the younger brother of Jeon So-min, a fixed panelist on 'Running Man,' revealed messages sent by malicious commenters on his social network service (SNS) in April.

According to this, one netizen sent messages such as, "If Jeon So-min is not removed from 'Running Man,' her family will be cursed every day," and "Advise her to stop participating in 'Running Man.'"

Additionally, Jeon So-min recently suffered from impersonation comments.

In May, during a 'Running Man' Naver live broadcast chat, a netizen claiming to be Jeon So-min left a lengthy comment, prompting Jeon So-min to post on her SNS, "I would appreciate it if you would not impersonate me," directly clarifying the situation.
