RM

Nah, not Rap Monster from BTS....but...Running Man.
It's one of my favourite K-variety shows (the rest are I Live Alone, 2D1N and Master in the House).

I have a fan theory that popped up in my head yesterday.

In recent months and weeks, Kang Han Na and Heo Kyung Hwan have appeared on the show a couple of times as guests. This is unusual...highly unusual unless there's a specific project that RM is working on...but such projects will always be made known to the viewers....

So perhaps, there will be some members who are leaving the show? Hmm...and this is the production team's way of slowly easing the replacement members (i.e. Kang Han Na and Heo Kyung Hwan) into the picture so that fans won't jump too much or cause an uproar.

In the most recent episode which aired last week I think, there were some jokes that teased Ji Seok Jin for his age and "dispensabiilty" from the RM team...he jokingly went along with it as well and mentioned the possibility of an "early retirement" from RM.

Who knows...part of the show is scripted...it would be the production team's way of seeding such a notion to viewers that he's leaving...when the time is right...i.e. in the next couple of weeks or months, then they'll make a formal announcement?

Lol...this is just Laoniang's theory and conjecture...
Let's see how things pan out....*rubs hands in anticipation*
