Show host Seo Jang Hoon asked whether Jeon So Min had worked part-time at a café after leaving Running Man because she was worried about her future. The question shocked the other panelists, and Jeon So Min confirmed that it was true.

Yeah. I had been working regularly, but when that suddenly stopped, I became worried. I was worried about my income and wanted to do something productive, even if it was just a little, so I worked at a café.

Jeon So Min also revealed that the job came with one unusual condition. She agreed not to wear a hat or mask while working so customers would recognize her.

An oppa I know hired me. I was offered a position on the condition that I wouldn’t wear a hat or a mask. If I wore a hat and mask, people wouldn’t recognize my face. So I was basically hired to promote the café.
