They say they leave just as viewers begin to settle in.

KBS 2TV variety program '2 Days & 1 Night' Season 4 (hereinafter '2 Days & 1 Night') is seeing constant changes in its cast. Five months after broadcaster Cho Se-ho voluntarily stepped down, it was announced that actor Yoo Seon-ho is now leaving.

'2 Days & 1 Night' side stated on the 12th, "Member Yoo Seon-ho, who spent a long time of three and a half years together, is graduating from '2 Days & 1 Night'," and added, "Yoo Seon-ho plans to deliver his final farewell to viewers directly through the broadcast on the 31st."

Yoo Seon-ho joined '2 Days & 1 Night' in December 2022, becoming the first member born in the 2000s and the youngest in the program's history. Yoo Seon-ho is set to focus on his acting career, promoting the film 'Student Internship' releasing tomorrow on the 13th, and appearing as the character Moo-young in the musical 'Those Days,' which runs from June 9 to August 23. Consequently, '2 Days & 1 Night' schedules are analyzed to have become too demanding.

Prior to Yoo Seon-ho, member Cho Se-ho stepped down in early December last year amid controversy over alleged gang involvement. This means two members have now left the recent lineup of '2 Days & 1 Night' Season 4. Although the production team kept Cho Se-ho's spot vacant and shifted to a five-member system, with Yoo Seon-ho also departing, only four members remain, making the recruitment of new members inevitable.

'2 Days & 1 Night' has been broadcast for 20 years since 2007, boasting pride as a long-running variety show and a flagship program of KBS. However, it has suffered from frequent member departures and replacements. MC Mong, Lee Soo-geun, Jung Jun-young, Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Jun-ho, Kim Seon-ho, and Ravi stepped down due to personal life controversies. Among the programs that notably featured many actor members, Eom Tae-woong, Kim Seung-woo, Yoo Hae-jin, Joo Won, Kim Ju-hyuk, Yoon Si-yoon, Yeon Jeong-hoon, and Nine U stepped down due to work commitments.

As seasons continue in this pattern, the public is now confused about who the fixed members of '2 Days & 1 Night' even are. The program's strength lies in the freshness brought by recruiting actors, but its greatest weakness is that members keep changing just as viewers begin to settle in, causing confusion.

Other programs also undergo member changes, but they conclude each segment with a 'season system,' informing viewers of the wrap-up. However, '2 Days & 1 Night' continues the season system while broadcasting continuously every week, leading to confusion as existing and new members mix.

Among the elements of a popular variety show, 'maintaining fixed members' is truly important. Fans enjoy the characters and chemistry of these members, but if they keep disappearing one by one, affection for the members and the program will inevitably cool down quickly.
