On the final episode that features Gary Kang in SBS's variety show 'Running Man', some of the members have spoken regarding the change after being together for years.
Yoo Jae Suk, in particular, said "The members had many talks with Gary before the official announcement."
He added "We wanted to hold on to him, but after the talks, we realized that he had different plans for his life. You can't force someone when it's like that. We have to do what Gary wants."
Once he said this, the six members interrupted Gary while he was working on a new song so they can start the mission for the episode.
