"2 Days and 1 Night 4" Is Back After All the Controversies!

“2 Days and 1 Night” is finally back with a new season and has already made its first broadcast on December 8, 6.30 p.m. KST!

The popular variety show had been on an abrupt hiatus since March this year, following former member Jung Joon-Young’s chatroom and hidden camera controversies.

Two other members, Cha Tae-Hyun and Kim Jun-Ho, were later caught in a gambling scandal after text messages shared between them were found through Jung Joon-Young’s phone. As gambling is illegal for Korean nationals in any form and at any location, both members quickly apologized and announced their departure after the scandal.

This December, a new lineup will be joining season 4! Kim Jong-Min will be the only member of the original cast participating in the newest season (the other few original members will be dearly missed!), and the rest are completely new fresh faces.

Who are the cast members of “2 Days and 1 Night 4“?

Kim Jong-Min

The only original member that has joined the show from the very beginning. Kim Jong-Min is going to be the most experienced member of the game show.

What do we look forward to seeing: Being the most experienced member, Kim Jong-Min might be able to avoid game punishments rather easily for the first few episodes (assuming that the format of the program is similar). And maybe… trick the other members and get them punished instead.

Yeon Jung-Hoon

The actor is rarely found in variety shows. All we know about him is that he is a good actor that could switch between good and evil roles, and he was known as the “Nation’s Thief” for marrying the beautiful actress Han Ga-In.

What do we look forward to seeing: The humane side of him other than the characters in a drama he has portrayed. And possibly, an unexpected charm that we have not seen.

Moon Se-Yoon

The comedian has a long list of variety shows he has participated in–from quiz shows (“Tell Me”) to traveling and eating shows (“Salty Tour” and “Delicious Guys”).

What do we look forward to seeing: His knowledge and experience from other variety shows to make things extra fun.

Kim Seon-Ho

He may be better known for his charming role in “100 Days My Prince” to some, but the actor has done a few comedic dramas such as “Welcome to Waikiki 2” and “Catch The Ghost”!

What do we look forward to seeing: By looking at the roles that he has done, we could expect to see witty and hilarious acts from the actor! In the teasers, Kim Seon-Ho revealed that he is an unlucky person and would pick the bad stuff even when there is only a 50% chance. Will he pick fish sauce instead of coffee?

DinDin

Rapper DinDin is practically a variety star with his appearance in many variety shows.

What do we look forward to seeing: He is hilarious enough with his witty reactions, but DinDin screaming for his mother in a haunted house is really adorable to watch too!
