2 Days & 1 Night - History

History

Before 1 Night 2 Days was first aired, it was preceded by Are You Ready which featured most of the 1 Night 2 Days members — Kang Ho Dong, Lee Su Geun, Kim Jong Min, and Eun Ji Won. Are You Ready was canceled due to low viewership ratings and was replaced by 1 Night 2 Days after 12 episodes.

Singer and actor Lee Ji Hoon was offered to join the cast of 1 Night 2 Days but rejected the role to take a role on MBC's drama New Heart instead.

1 Night 2 Days premiered with cast members Kang Ho Dong, Lee Su Geun, Kim Jong Min, Eun Ji Won, No Hong Chul, Ji Sang Ryul, and Sang Geun the dog mascot on August 5, 2007.

The show later experienced a number of cast member changes:

  • September 16, 2007: Ji Sang Ryul's last episode
  • October 28, 2007: Kim C joins the cast
  • November 4, 2007: No Hung Chul's last episode
  • November 11, 2007: Lee Seung Gi joins the cast

  • March 2013: Kim Seung-woo last episode

On August 2011, the producers and then cast members had a meeting on the status of the show and they have come to an agreement to end 1 Night 2 Days due to Kang Ho Dong's fatigue and an offer to go to SBS, as well as the other members' issues.

Season 1 broadcast its final episode on February 26, 2012. Season 2 premiered on March 4, 2012 with returning members Lee Su Geun, Kim Jong Min, and Uhm Tae Woong, who were joined by new members Kim Seung Woo, Cha Tae Hyun, Sung Si Kyung, and Joo Won. Kim Seung-woo left 1N2D in March 2013 to pursue his acting career. He is replaced with fellow actor Yoo Hae-jin.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more
    John Adams (1735–1826)

    In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
