You make it sound like he has somehow betrayed the the other members? Even if 1 N 2 D does come back, it will never be the same again. We shouldn't expect it to be. While it would be great if the other members except for JJY were asked to return, I doubt that will happen. So I'm happy that someone on some other network is interested in hiring JunHo. I hope Tae Hyun also is accepted back into entertainment.

So happy for his return. Hope it's just the beginning.

Are you sure JJY has already been sentenced and is in jail? How long a sentence?

Jongmin seems to be moving on. On the recent Brainfficil with Yongjin, they each mentioned that the other had "quit" 1 N, 2 D but that they'd been forced to do it. At least that's how the English translation went. I'm glad JM is getting so many opportunities, and hasn't been tainted by the scandal.

Maybe they're waiting til the JJY case is settled and over with. That way the show can carry on without the continual reminders of the past.

Actually, this is kind of encouraging, if 3 times more people petitioned to keep the show. I think they'll try to think of a face-saving way to start up again, but this may mean getting rid of the remaining Season 3 cast.

This does not sound promising. Maybe they want to see if this show gets better ratings than 1 N 2 D did. If they don't cancel 1 N 2 D completely, I'm pretty sure they will get rid of the remaining current cast and start all over again. Not just because of the scandal, but because most of them are in their 40's. So they may think this is a good opportunity to reshuffle the deck and start from scratch. Anyway, 1 N 2 D as we know it is finished. I do hope that after a cooling off period, CTH and JJH will ease back into entertaining. Even if KBS doesn't want them back, there are other TV networks, film, and other entertainment media to be explored.. But really, KH has been with Gag Conceert so long, KJM has been with 1 N 2 D so long. Such a waste of talent.

How cute was it when the 7 potatoes were all lying in a row resting on the hillside? Seriously, these guys all must have incredibly strong legs. I could not go waddling around (or hopping along) like that. On a different topic, very disappointing that KJM's on-screen romance did not develop into anything off-screen.

Last episode Jun Ho said Jong Min is upset these days. If true, may be due to Mina, may be just stress due to Koyote comeback.

I'm noticing some recycling of games here from Season 2. Passing the bowl of water with their feet was previously done in summer with a watermelon instead. Knocking over the empty bottles with the party favor is similar to the game where they had to blow out a row of lit birthday candles using breath from one nostril. Doesn't really bother me, since the cast members are different, and the games have been slightly changed.

Geez, one thing after another. I was wondering why Kim Seong accepted the KBS award instead of IlYoung. I will really miss him, but at least the new PD has been with the show a long time. Much better than bringing in someone new. If Yongjin is included every week, I agree that having 7 members is is very restrictive. Maybe he'll be spending more time behind the cameras just watching? Member ages going up is worrisome. They can't go on forever. But, frankly, if any member was to leave, the most likely person I see leaving is JJY. He seems to be making a lot of changes to his life recently. He may not have the bandwidth (or professional need) to keep doing 1 N2D. I think it would be a disaster if either KJM or CTH left. I could imagine KJH leaving due to age /wanting to do other things. But we would lose that brilliant synergy between him and JM. But the show has survived for 10 years with many staff/cast changes and continues to entertain us. Change is the way of the world.

When I saw him guesting on the show for the second time, I was wondering if they were trying him out to possibly replace a member who might be leaving. He was OK, but I hope they don't give him too much air time at the expense of the other members. And I hope this doesn't mean someone is leaving.

Kind of late posting this re Oh Na Na Na. But oh my, Jongmin, you look like Fred Astaire here. Or what Fred Astaire would look like if he were doing this dance. You do look good in basic black.
