1 Night 2 Days (2 Days & 1 Night / 1N2D / 1박 2일)

Of Jong Min, by Jong Min, and for Jong Min.

This is Jong Min Special.

What happens if I can answer it correctly?

I know! Neanderthals.

Joon Ho.

Neanderthals. Neanderthals!

Imagine if we had lost.

I wonder what we're doing next.

What are we doing now?

Why don't you choose your top three episodes?

The top three episodes of One Night Two Days.

One is where I missed the train after eating udon.

You mean way back when?

Jong Min! The train's leaving.

I can't believe he's still eating.

I thought it was a joke.

Of course.

Anyway, that's the first one.

Next is when I came back after serving in the military.

I thought a lot over the past two years.

You didn't have a clue, right?

Jong Min, welcome back!

What's the third?

The 1st episode of the 3rd season.

I honestly thought it wasn't going to work out.

Hello, everyone.

The group doesn't feel that new.

You're one to talk.

We will. - Yes, we will.

Don't doze off when it's the Jong Min Special.

I'm sleepy. - This is my turn to shine,

so make sure that I do.

Do your best. - I came here at the crack of dawn.

Then I went hiking and ate a hearty meal.

How could I not be sleepy?

I'd appreciate your attention.

I'm recapping my nine years on the show.

All right. - It's nothing new, though.

I watched the episodes you just mentioned.

Yes, I did, too.

Gosh. - Let's do something else then.

Like what?

"Jong Min's life graph"?

Do I draw this myself?

Probably. - Look at all these shows.

"X-Man" and "Love Letter".

Before my debut, I was below zero.

Your debut must be something good, though.

Yes, of course.

But Shin Ji was mostly in the spotlight.

At first, I joined as a guest vocalist.

"The War of Roses" was the show that put me on the map.

First to sing a serenade is...

It's Kim Jong Min.

It didn't matter to me though.

I couldn't stop.

My soul was already lingering around her.

The song has begun. - What?

Thanks to "The War of Roses",

I was cast as a regular guest on "X-Man".

All you need to do is love me for a second...

for our love to be that of a thousand years.

I'm dying out of curiosity.

Tell me.

Why on earth do you work out?

I honestly don't understand what those muscles are for.

I was on a roll,

but I took time off to record my album.

Why was that necessary?

Back then, taking time off was typical for artists.

So I didn't do so well until...

What came next? - "Love Letter".

"Six Heroines" and "Love Letter".

That's right. I was on both shows simultaneously.

What's love? - Love is timing.

Timing?

Love is now.

I await my partner, the charismatic dancing machine.

He landed in front of Seung Eun.

Doesn't anyone fancy me?

If you do, please come forward.

Now 2005. - That's when I peaked.

"Six Heroines" was cancelled...

and I started a show called "We Are Ready".

It's going down.

I take a nose-dive. - I see.

To be honest, I was surprised.

Was it that bad?

The members of One Night Two Days took part.

So it's this show's predecessor.

Right. - But the ratings were low.

I still remember what the members said though.

We all loved our chemistry...

which is why we stayed on board.

Once we incorporated our games and missions,

ratings sky-rocketed to about 15 percent overnight.

Welcome to wild life of One Night Two Days.

Go on.

The season one of the show peaked...

and so did I.

During our run,

I was up for mandatory military service.

I dropped off the face of the earth.

Like this.

Still, it wasn't that bad.

Was serving your country this bad for you?

Aren't you exaggerating? - Hey.

You're making it sound really bad. - Be real.

I mean... - Can I draw this again?

This might get me into trouble.

Look. - You went too far.

I didn't mind taking time off to serve my country.

Because... - You needed the break.

Yes, I wanted to take a break.

I hadn't been able to for years.

So you were on hiatus.

Right, hiatus. - Then you peak again.

Back then... - You were confident.

I thought I'd peak again. - Of course.

However, I went into a slump.

You couldn't adjust. - No, I couldn't.

The show was on a roll, but you weren't.

I thought that I'd be great on the show once again,

but I wasn't. - You felt left out a bit.

I had lost my touch. - I see.

You were probably showered with negative comments.

Right. - They compared you to cancer.

Exactly. - "Kick Jong Min out."

Can you be quiet for a second?

You're the one who said it. - I know.

Many shows wanted me, but I turned them all down.

I said no to all of them.

Really? - I knew that I had to survive here...

in order to have a career.

That's why I turned the others down.

It was more than just a comeback for me.

I had to show people something different.

Over time, it did help me find my confidence again.

So things get better. - I had no idea.

I know. - That's quite the life graph.

At the beginning of season three, we almost crumbled.

However, thanks to you all and the staff,

the show found its ground again.

Then Tae Hyun gave me a nickname.

I beat myself up over it, but...

Right. - Of course.

Cheerful Fool!

Everything kept getting better. - That good?

You're doing as well as you did 10 years ago.

I can see that. - That's right.

I reached this far up on my own though this time.

Back then, I owe it to Shin Ji for making me famous.

However, now I'm my own man.

Currently, I'm definitely peaking.

Where I'll go from here, I don't know.

You slipped a bit since you didn't get to eat.
