With Super Junior member Shin Dong and singer Kim Jong-min returning to a new season of 'The Great Escape,' they expressed their disappointment at not having been part of the previous season.

On the 9th, a video titled '[The Great Escape: Urban Legends] The Great Escape Pre-Production Meeting Special: Forever Tested | Episode 0 Full Version' was released on the YouTube channel 'Tving.'

The released footage showed the cast of Tving's original variety show 'The Great Escape: Urban Legends' holding a pre-production meeting before officially beginning filming.

On this day, Kim Jong-min and Shin Dong, who did not appear in the previous season, rejoined the group, drawing attention.

In particular, Kim Jong-min shouted "You traitors!" at Kim Dong-hyun and Yoo Byung-jae while playfully grabbing them by the collar, eliciting laughter.

Kim Jong-min shared his thoughts on returning, saying, "It's not easy to come back here. Once you leave, it's not easy to return." He then joked, "I'm not very scared, but my downside is that I'm petty. My instincts have dulled a lot, which is a big problem."

In response, Kim Dong-hyun joked, "I held out until the end saying we wouldn't start without you, hyung (older brother), but I arrived too late and you had already left." He expressed his joy at Kim Jong-min's return, adding, "My mind feels instantly at ease."

Referring to the previous season, Kim Jong-min said, "Since we weren't there, Byung-jae was flying around."

Shin Dong also cheerfully expressed his disappointment toward the production team regarding his absence from the last season.

When the assigned PD introduced him as "that friend who didn't contact us," Shin Dong revealed, "I watched the show again and realized that in the meantime, Captain Yoo had taken over. I thought, 'That's my title.'"

Shin Dong then joked, "There was no word from Kim Jong-min hyung." Kim Dong-hyun added, "Since Shin Dong wasn't there, Yoo Byung-jae really stood out," causing laughter.

Previously, in the last season, 'The Great Escape: The Story,' original members Shin Dong, Kim Jong-min, and Pyo were absent, while Go Kyung-pyo, Baek Hyun, and Yeo Jin-goo newly joined. At the time, they led the program with a new lineup alongside Kang Ho-dong, Kim Dong-hyun, and Yoo Byung-jae.

In particular, Shin Dong had previously expressed his disappointment on JTBC's variety show 'Knowing Bros' last year, stating, "I didn't even get a call for the new season of 'The Great Escape.' I found out by reading the news."

Subsequently, Shin Dong and Kim Jong-min returned through 'The Great Escape: Urban Legends,' while Kang Ho-dong, who had been an original member since the first season in 2018, is stepping down from the program after eight years.

Kang Ho-dong stated through CJ ENM, "Every moment of 'The Great Escape' has been a great pleasure and happiness for me." He added, "I believe that colleagues and juniors with even greater imagination and wisdom than I have will do their best for the success of 'The Great Escape' this season."

Meanwhile, 'The Great Escape: Urban Legends' is an extreme escape adventure set against the backdrop of bizarre urban legends. Kim Jong-min, Kim Dong-hyun, Shin Dong, Yoo Byung-jae, Go Kyung-pyo, and Seung-gwan appear in the show.
