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.

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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
