Lee Su-geun, Uhm Tae-woong, Kim Jong-min stick with 1N2D

Rumors have been circling, but mouths kept hushed about whether some members of hit variety show 1 Night 2 Days would stay for the upcoming second season, scheduled to start filming in two weeks. But Friday marked the current cast’s final trip, where the announcement was made official: longtime members Lee Su-geun and Kim Jong-min, along with last year’s addition Uhm Tae-woong, will remain on the show’s second season.

There is still no official word on the remaining members of the new cast, but in all likelihood it’ll be the three names that have been thrown around for a while now: Win Win host and actor Kim Seung-woo, ballad singer Sung Shi-kyung, and actor Joo Won. Season 2 will be helmed by PD Choi Jae-hyung, a variety PD with Happy Sunday and Yoo Hee-yeol’s Sketchbook. He’s stated in multiple interviews that the show will retain its format, and has promised not to mess with the winning formula of its big brother. Well yeah, ’cause that’d be stupid. I certainly don’t envy that guy’s job, because all eyes are on him, ready to pounce if he takes one misstep. People get sensitive when you mess with their variety shows, yunno.

So we’ve known for a good long while that it’d soon be goodbye for Lee Seung-gi and Eun Ji-won, (Seung-gi’s still got a full dance cart with Strong Heart, dramas and singing, while Ji-won has joined one of Yoo Jae-suk’s talk shows, Come to Play, and has stated he wants to focus on his music.) as well as evil mastermind Na PD, who will reportedly remain at KBS and develop new shows. *sniff… sniff… WAAAAH* It was reportedly a tear-filled goodbye for all on their last outing (pictured below).

Perhaps the members who are staying will be enough to float your boat, or were your favorites anyway. Sadly, these three leaving (along with the premature exit of original host Kang Ho-dong last fall) marks the end of the 1 Night 2 Days that I loved for over five years. That’s not to say that I can’t or won’t love its little brother, of course. It’ll just be a different beast, no matter how much you dress it like big bro. I’m not sure I’m ready to say goodbye, but here it comes anyway, like a stubborn ol’ mack truck.

The final trip with Seung-gi and Ji-won will air February 19 and 26, and March 4 will mark the first broadcast with the new cast.

^sigh^ Of course Seung-gi has to leave (the shows stopped him doing more dramas and he'll be super busy even without it) but why does Ji won have to leave :(

Anyway... lets hope 1N2D will break the curse of bad second series... (well they are technically not calling it a second series are they?) which... they can :D

FIGHTING!!!

i at least wanted JI WON TO STAYYYY :( awww my eun-choding! >_< 70% of my reason to watch is because of him & na pd & su geun hehehe
(i was never really a fan of seung gi. but of course i'm pretty devastated that he's leaving too)

i wish only the best for SeungGi, Ji Won & Na PD. hope they come out again for some kind of special reunion after this new 1N2D ends ;) (kinda like what FO did to wrap up their series) along with hodong, mcmong & kim c. <3

as for the new people coming. i know joo won is close with taewoong (so more bromance? hehe) & sung shi kyung already came out and i thought he was pretty funny. but kim seung woo? uhhh i don't know how well he's gonna fare in the outdoor. he's always inside the studio. but i'm hopeful in that he manages to show a new side of himself. plus, these guys do need a new mat-hyung :)

gawd, i really miss Mong. i remember that one episode where he was overreacting from eating [or i think drinking!] something with a really bad taste. he was jumping all around, trying to act in pain, and then BAM! he stepped on charcoal or something. either way, it was from a pretend in-pain to a really in-pain act. i remember the tears from my eyes. i really, really love the old, old 1N2D!

I'm suggesting you to try the old episode when MC mong was still around, that was much funnier and it's easier to connect with both your mind & heart (but not your laugh, since you won't able to hold it) :D

But I do hope that season 2 does well and Choi PD really has some very big boots to fill. I hope Na PD does another show where we can seeeeee him. Its too sad, not being able to see him again. I just watched ep 180 yesterday when the boys who failed the morning mission (Jiwon, Seungi and HoDong) had to go all the way to Jeju-do for breakfast. They were shocked and I was shocked.... I still can't believe he did that! Jongmin and Sugeun by bokbulbok went to a place 5 mins away and they get sent to JEJU?!

His evil smile when he said 'let's get breakfast' was priceless. Haha

Despite the love I have for Joo Won, I'm not sure he'll fit for variety. I watched him MC-ing kbs drama awards and he was so quiet. I don't think Su geun will be able to mc this thing alone. No matter how much he talks (see: bestfriend special) it didn't fill the show as much as Ho dong or Seunggi does.

Well, we know that Joo won is friend with Tae woong, so maybe if the quiet duo get together they won't be as quiet?!

While I don't really know the other guys, I'm really glad if Shi kyung join the show.

Also, I'd love to see Woo hyuk! he can be sort of the new choding in his own way. The way he want to look cool but just backfires. Since he friends with Jong min, he can be his translator once Seunggi gone.

I really love my weekly dosage of 1n2d so please show! Be good!!

Finally the time has come that Seunggi, Jiwon & PD Na had their last 1n2d filming ... sob sob...

But as they move on to the bigger things in their lives - they have to let go of this show.

Seunggi (new drama & Japan debut), Jiwon (his music & he already mentioned that he wants to start a family) & PD Na (hope after a well deserved break, he'll come up with a genius new show - he always wanted to do cooking show, so a new cooking show probably? ^^) - as viewers, I have to move on too T__T

Joo Won & Taewoong, they're close friends and belong to the same entertainment agency.

Sugeun will be able to share his MC responsibility with Kim Seung Woo.

And hope Sung Shi Kyung can be as witty like when he guested in the viewers trip 3.

Hopefully 1n2d season 2 can live up to the legacy left by the original 1n2d.

I share the same sentiments as you girlfriday... the departure of seunggi, jiwon and na PD marks the end of the 1n2d that I loved so much! To be honest, I only started watching the show summer of last year. I actually got to know the show post kim c and mc mong. Even though that's the case, I fell in love with the group of hodong, kim c, sugeun, jiwon, mc mong and seunggi as I watched the old episodes.

For me, this group of special guys plus the staff & crew are the ones that made 1n2d so loved. They're the ones that brought me so much happiness!

I wish all the best to the next version of 1n2d. Just like what GF said, its just going to be different. To use a really bad analogy: I don't want to get rid of my favorite pair of shoes even though I'm given a new one! (told yah its a bad analogy) :) I will for sure cry buckets of tears on the last day of broadcast :( I will forever hold on to the memories! Thank you 1n2d!!!

(sorry for the long and dramatic comment) :)

It's definitely a bitter sweet thing because I freaking love Jiwon in 1n2d ... who'll be the genius now? gah ... but on the bright side.. the show is not ending permanently and we still get a dose of 1n2d every week ... i have a feeling that's there's going to be a rivalry between the new cast and old cast... omg i can just totally see them battling it out ... i definitely want to see the old cast bullying the new mwahahahhahaha.. now i'm actually getting excited !!!

Also, imagine, in the long run... they could have reunion episodes!!! where OLD 1n2d comes back for old times sakes!!! yah i'm getting excited for some reason!

I really scare the variety show will never be the same again,highly think so. But on the other hand,I do not like the new line-out. 3 actors??? Seriously when did variety show,which only meant to be funny and outliving had so little comedians?
Actors will only maintain their image and style as can be observed from seung gi,idk...the whole line up seems fragile.
They might have the same concept,but the personality and wildness will not be there.also,i highly doubt that lee su guen will be as wild as khd. lee su guen is funny but not wild.
And uhm tae woong,handsome yet too quiet....idk the whole 1n2d the new one is really out of the loop.

I've been depressed for weeks, feeling the end coming closer and closer. I'm not ready to say goodbye to the 1 variety show which gave me so much fun, joy, laughter and even tears.

I've watched 1박2일 since Aug 2009 and have loved every minute of it. It transformed my life, and gave me hope. Kang Ho Dong, Lee Seung Gi and Eun Ji Won are my 3 favourite members, and without them, 1박2일 will never be the same again. All good things come to an end I suppose, but it doesn't make it less heartbreaking.

I wish Seung Gi and Ji Won all the best in their future careers, and hope to see them in their new projects soon. And Ho Dong, please come back soon.

iWeep.

i weep with you my dear.. at least you knew the show for a much longer time than me.. i just knew about 1n2d last april when gumiho was aired locally.. i cant get enough of seunggi thats why i researched on him.. this was one of the variety shows that gave me me lots of laughs and tears too.. jiwon will be missed too especially his wits and his choding ways.. and na pd! your badness fascinates me! now, i want kang hodong back.. the show may never be the same again but i'm happy everyone is moving with their respective careers.. best of luck to the ilbakee family.. i will still watch the show (even with a heavy heart)

p.s. to jb and gf, pls consider recapping the show even with the new cast.. if not possible, at least the old episodes will do.. love you ladies!

This is so sad. I will eternally miss Jiwon and Seunggi. They were really great, and had awesome characters on the show. I guess now the big dog will be Sugeun, huh? But since Hodong left, he held the steer for most of the time so I guess it won't be so awkward. It'll be fun to see how Kim Seung-woo and Joo Won hold up against all the madness but I'm sure they'll be fine. 1N2D isn't new with casting changes so this isn't completely new for them. They still have some original members (and perhaps the crew too?). I just think of the change up to be a fresh new start for the show who had gone through a lot in the past years. May the new show be wonderful. I hope.

I hope Kim Seung Woo does not come in and lead, but leave that to Su Geun. You need to earn your stripes and not just based on seniority. If he does that I'll find it hard to watch.
Joo Won and Tae Woong will sure have lots of bromance, and I'm hoping Joo Won becomes like the hyung to dog feet. LOL.

thinking back on past events, i think the beginning of the end was when KHD contract was up for renewal some months back....and there were rumors that he was aiming for more money.. and jumping ships and all that other stuff about Na PD... then came the allegations of tax fraud and etc2.....

...........and the rest, as they say, is history.....:(

I'm sad that Jiwon, Na PD and Seunggi are leaving but then this show for me has always been about the Team. When Kim C left I felt the great love he had for his brothers, that he didn't want the show to suffer so he's leaving was announced at the last possible moment so the effect could be minimized. It was one of the most heartwarming episode that I watched and remains one of my favorite.
With MC Mong it was torture, it was not a quiet goodbye but a reluctant fade out. He was still there filming but you could no longer hear or feel him. I hated the show for doing that to him for editing him out and I often wondered if he gave his consent to do that. I would like to think that he did because for his last episodes he did not make any effort to stand out. I think he did that so that his brothers would not be burdened and the editors would not feel too bad editing him out.
Hodong with his larger than life persona and voice I thought he would not go quietly but he did. No farewell just gone.
After these guys left the show evolved the remaining members stepped up and gave us memorable show after show. They still delivered the funny and the bromance.

Jiwon, Na PD and Seunggi are leaving and I think they will act like its no big deal that the Show will still be as awesome. I think for them their personalities will be missed but the people working hard behind the camera will still be there. Food truck ajumma, the running VJs, the remaining casts, the PDs, directors and all the rest. It's important for all these guys to see that the Show remain successful because they started it, it's part of them. Like a growing child evolving, taking on the persona that suits it for the moment but always loved and supported by it's Hyungs.

It's sad to know about Lee Seung-gi, Eun Ji-won and Na PD's leaving the show. My week is not complete without 1박2일. The humor, raucous laughter of the members of the show & the euphoric feel of the games they participated esp. the infamous "bokbulbok" game is one of a kind. I will really, really miss you guys & good luck for your future endeavors.

I saw Sung Shi-kyung of one of their episodes, he's COOL alright & so with Kim Seung-woo, I think they're going to be OK on this show. I'm rooting for Joo Won also.

Lee Su-geun, Kim Jong-min and Uhm Tae-woong don't be sick at heart, my sister & I will continue to patronize the show. We are hoping for the best in Season 2 with new set of odd or fanciful or capricious ideas, games, the places you're going to visit & most esp. the invited guests. FIGHTING!!!

Ditto. February 26 will mark the end of the 1N2D that I've loved over more than 4 years.

This is the only variety show that I've ever watched regularly. I started because of Seunggi but the extent of my adoration now resulted from loving the 6 members together which remain the one when Mong and Kim C were still there and the show as a whole that directed by the ever genius, evil yet warmhearted Pd Na.

With Seunggi, Jiwon and Na PD leaving, i just dont feel any pull to watch the second season anymore.

I sincerely wish though, for the day when I can see the 6 members that i love together again. You know one of the things that tie those boys together, it's music, singing. When they are bored, they always end up singing some rap and mixing songs with Kim C playing the guitar. i always love everytime they perform together. this is one of the reasons why i see Tae Wong unfit to the group when he enters.

All the best to the remaining members.
I'm going to miss my 1n2d soooooooo much!

1N2D is and has been for a long time my favorite Korean variety show bar none and I was devastated at the thought of it ending. So I am very happy that it is not ending but I will miss Seunggi and Jiwon and Na PD. When Kang Hodong first left it was a bit awkward but the guys have really come into their own now. Hodong was a great MC but pretty much hogged most of the conversation and was at times, childish and annoying. Without him around, the other guys have really bloomed.

It's interesting that Lee Sugeun, UTW and Jongmin are staying. Although Sugeun is a very funny guy, he's not as funny without Hodong and sometimes just seems to talk on and on and on. UTW was on Happy Together and he said that he really loved being on 1N2D so it's not a surprise that he's staying even though he is very busy filming movies and dramas. Jongmin I think just loves and needs the family camaraderie.

Has anyone ever considered Ji Jin Hee for 1D2N? Granted "He Who Can't Get Married" might not have been the best but he was hilarious in it. He's quirky and has that dry sense of humor that Sung Si Kyung has. Kim Seung Woo, although a great actor, would not be my pick for this particular format. As one of the hosts for Win Win he's fine but I don't think he would be a good fit for 1D2N. I think he might be a little boring.

So my vote would be for Sung Si-kyung (very articulate with a sharp, dry sense of humor and a big softie) and Ji Jin Hee.
