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’.

Date: 2012-09-28 05:49 pm (UTC)So apparently due to the MBC strikes Infinity Challenge has been off air for a while, and so the members decided to get together and hold a concert for all the fans that have waited for the shows return. But it was a private concert and not held by MBC so the members were going to hold the concert with their own money under the Leessang company. But netizens started a bash fest claiming the prices were too high, they were being taken advantage off, bashing Gil especially. It led to the concert being cancelled and Gil and Gary withdrawing from variety.

Date: 2012-09-28 06:22 pm (UTC)I'm happy they're coming back, Running Man really wouldn't have been the same without Gary. I think IF would have been ok because they've had member changes before and gone on to be fine.
