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.

EPISODE 372. Broadcast on February 5, 2012.

girlfriday: The boys gather for the opening and chitchat a little, and note that Seung-gi’s lost some weight. He says it’s for his new drama. He says he’s going to be a king, and Ji-won asks if it’s a sageuk, while Jong-min gets all wrapped up in the story description. Guess at least one of his hyungs will be watching.

javabeans: Na PD introduces today’s trip by referring back to a viewer favorite, for which today will be a second part. Tae-woong immediately blurts, “Actress special!” Too bad for him that’s not it, and Ji-won asks to clarify, “Did WE enjoy it?” Ha. I like how he immediately knows that viewer enjoyment does not necessarily equal member enjoyment.

EPISODE 371. Broadcast on January 29, 2012.

javabeans: Su-geun is the first to arrive at basecamp, since his Winter Dinner Table segment was situated nearest.

girlfriday: Seung-gi joins him and confesses that this whole eating thing felt so foreign for 1N2D, and he was concerned for the first time about how much usable footage they’d get.

javabeans: Plus, there’s the fact that his ajumma cooked everything in 2 minutes and barely spoke.

girlfriday: He repeats his earlier fear that it only means there’s something massively bad around the corner.

EPISODE 370. Broadcast on January 22, 2012.

javabeans: The members gather at the studio to do their opening, and make the customary (lunar) New Year’s bow. Uh, what did Seung-gi do to that poor animal that died on his head?

girlfriday: Oh, Puppy. What happened? Did you lose a bet?

javabeans: How can he be so cute and yet have — not one, but — a whole collection of the worst hairstyles ever?

girlfriday: It’s one of the great mysteries of the universe. I’m trying to find a logical explanation, but I’m pretty sure there isn’t one.

EPISODE 369. Broadcast on January 15, 2012.

javabeans: Friend Special, Part Three! We start off this episode with the winners earning a generous dinner, and the losers left with a box of potatoes and their own devices. Oh, how cute: Food Truck Ajumma greets Seo-jin warmly and tells him that she got lots of texts from his fans, asking her to feed “Lee Seo-jin oppa” well.

girlfriday: Oh man, he’s Food Truck Ajumma’s oppa? That’s crazy. How cute to see her fangirling over someone.

EPISODE 368. Broadcast on January 8, 2012.

javabeans: The Friend Special continues! So Team Seung-gi / Su-geun get to the beach first and the flag is in sight, but the last twist is that they have to pick up their ditched teammate — Seon-kyun — and pull the flag together. And since Seon-kyun’s beppu Tae-woong is on the other team, nobody here has his phone number, or even knows what kind of car to look for. Seung-gi starts to call Tae-woong, but they decide that asking would give the rival team a hint.

girlfriday: That’s just mean. The other team has the total advantage there.

javabeans: Trying to get the number a different way, they suggest that Seo-jin start calling around to his other actor friends, literally playing telephone in the hopes that somebody will have Seon-kyun’s number. Ooh, will we get to see how Six Degrees of Lee Seon-kyun plays out?

EPISODE 367. Broadcast on January 1, 2012.

javabeans: It’s the Friend Special! The members come out for 5am call on a freezing cold day, and share a few thoughts on their buddies. The guests are: White Tower / Coffee Prince/ Pasta actor Lee Seon-kyun (Tae-woong’s friend-guest-brodude), Yi San / Kye Baek actor Lee Seo-jin (Seung-gi), soccer player Lee Geun-ho (Su-geun), soccer player Lee Dong-gook (Ji-won), and former HOT member turned solo singer Jang Woo-hyuk (Jong-min).

girlfriday: Woot! The Voice AND H.O.T.? Please tell me there’s going to be a 90s idol dance-off.

EPISODE 366. Broadcast on December 25, 2011.

javabeans: Photo trip, Part 2! Last week everyone got started on their “flash journeys” (? – such a weird way to term a trip) minus Seung-gi, who was busy helping Ji-won get his rainbow. I’m presuming it’s because his duck swarm happens later in the day, so now he meets with his guide and introduces the mission. They take a look from a distance and see a mass of ducks on a lake, and take the bus ride over to get their shot. On the way, the bird doctor (Dr. Han) explains that the common epithet “you bird brain” to refer to a dumb person is a misnomer, since birds can be quite smart. Apparently there are types that learn the faces of the villagers living nearby, and sound alarms when seeing a strange face. Okay, I’m not sure if that’s smart or downright creepy.

EPISODE 365. Broadcast on December 18, 2011.

javabeans: The guys are called to to the KBS Happy Sunday offices earlier than usual — at midnight on Thursday (technically Friday). The guys wonder why, and Na PD says it’s because they’re always so tired-looking at the morning 3 am call, having only grabbed a short nap: “So I figured it would be better all around if you didn’t sleep at all.”

girlfriday: That’s SO MEAN.

EPISODE 364. Broadcast on December 11, 2011.

javabeans: We come back to this mission with our five guys battling the clock to make it back to basecamp in time after thirty snacks, ten cups of coffee, ten live ocean specimens, a re-enectment of the 5000 won bill, and one love affair with Edison.

girlfriday: Ji-won, Tae-woong, and Su-geun make it to the rendezvous in time, but Jong-min is trailing behind, and Seung-gi… is sipping coffee leisurely by the ocean? What is he doing? He finally remembers to ask what time it is, and by then he’s already missed his deadline. Isn’t coffee supposed to make you more alert?

javabeans: And speedier?
