So Min joined the show in April 2017 and has gained love and support from viewers in South Korea.

Bringing her talents, charms, and crazy antics to the show has made her a top female entertainer and now known as an actress who is willing to sacrifice her image to make people laugh.
From being an actress to a variety gem, So Min has done her best to send a bright aura and give happiness to the viewers.
