’1N2D’ to broadcast new episodes starting this weekend

With the difficult decision made by Choi Jae Hyung PD to return to filming after joining the labor union strike, variety program ‘1 Night 2 Days‘ has announced the airing of new episodes in the upcoming weeks.

KBS stated through a press release on May 11th, “For two weeks, on the 13th and 20th, a ‘Special 1N2D, Investigation into Nature Project’ will be airing.”

This will be the first new episode since Choi Jae Hyung PD returned from the strike to continue on with the show after witnessing major drops in viewer ratings.

On the new episodes, the ’1N2D’ members, who haven’t seen each other for the past six weeks, will be showing us Jeju Island once more with a special feature on the dolphins that can be found near the island.

’1 Night 2 Days’ will not be airing new episodes for the next 2 weeks

As it was speculated earlier, it has been confirmed that KBS 2TV‘s ‘1 Night 2 Days‘ will not be airing a new episode this weekend nor the next weekend.

On April 25th, a representative of KBS revealed, “It has been confirmed that ’1 Night 2 Days’ will not air a new episode for 2 weeks.” They stated that this was because with the main production director, Choi Jae Hyung, and the production staff joined the union strike, the show was unable to capture enough footage to broadcast an episode.

Without PD Choi, ’1 Night 2 Days’ tried to enforce recording under other executives, but the recording was cancelled, and thus, the program delay was inevitable.

The KBS representative stated that on April 29th and May 6th, ’1 Night 2 Days’ will substitute their time slot with special broadcasts. However, the concept of the special episodes have not been decided yet. They also revealed that the ’1 Night 2 Days’ members have been notified about the delay.
