Jungle Entertainment has told allkpop that Leessang members Gary and Gil have decided to end their hiatus from variety shows.Gary and Gil announced earlier this week that they would be leaving SBS’ ‘Running Man‘ and MBC‘s ’Infinity Challenge‘, respectively, after the cancellation of the ‘Super 7‘ concert.
Leessang released the following statement:“Hello, all. This is Leessang. Firstly, we sincerely thank all of you who have made us more mature through your encouragement and scolding. We found it too difficult to withstand the names ‘Leessang’, which we’ve worked hard on for the past 10 years, and ‘Leessang Company’, which we’ve started with hopeful ambition, being [put in a negative light], and so we decided to leave the variety industry in order to focus more on our music and concerts. However, because of us, many people were getting hurt, and more than that, we didn’t want to burden our members, who’ve always been loyal and stayed beside us; though we’re ashamed and sorry, we’ll be returning to the programs. We’ll give more music, concerts, and laughs to everyone with a better attitude. Rather than asking you to trust us, we’ll work our hardest so you can. We’ll pay you back. -posted by Leessang (Gary & Gil).”
Gil will be participating in this week’s filming of ‘Infinity Challenge’ on September 29, while Gary will be present for the October 1st filming of ‘Running Man
