Actor Na In Woo will once again become a relief pitcher for KBS. Following the drama 'River Where the Moon Rises', the vacancy of '2 Days & 1 Night' will be filled and the six-member system will be completed.

On January 25th, KBS2's entertainment program '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' announced, "Na In Woo has confirmed as regular member and will be traveling together in the future."

Director Bang Gul-i PD said, "I'm trying to breathe new energy into the program with Na In Woo's joining," He added, "I'm looking forward to seeing Na In Woo deliver laughter to viewers with various charms, ranging from acting to the appearance of an absurd and energetic "MZ generation" entertainer. Please look forward to the freshness of the novice character in entertainment shows and the fighting energy of those in their 20s."

In addition, Bang PD said, "I have high expectations for the new chemistry that Na In Woo will create with the existing members by joining '2 Days & 1 Night'. It seems that a variety of fun will be created in the process. Please watch and see what kind of collaboration Na In Woo will show with the existing members, from eldest brother Yeon Jeong Hoon to Ravi."

Also, Actor Na In Woo expressed his feelings about joining '2 Days & 1 Night'.

On January 25th, Na In Woo told OSEN, "I've loved the program since I was young, so I only thought that I would like to appear on it someday, but thank you for giving me a great opportunity."

Previously, '2 Days & 1 Night' suffered a lot of redness last year because of former member Kim Seon Ho. Kim Seon Ho's ex-girlfriend's revelations sparked a controversy over his private life, and he eventually withdrew from the program. Since then, '2 Days & 1 Night' has continued as a 5-member system with Yeon Jeong Hoon, Moon Se Yoon, Kim Jong Min, Dindin and Ravi. With the joining of Na In Woo, a new six-member system was formed.

Coincidentally, Na In Woo helped the KBS program, which was in crisis a year ago. He joined the KBS2 drama "The River Rising on the Moon," which had been drifting due to controversy over the school violence of the leading actor Ji Soo, and had to retake the entire drama, which was mostly shot through pre-filming, in an urgent schedule.

Na In Woo won the Rookie of the Year award at the 2021 KBS2 Acting Award through this "River Rising on the Moon", and became a rising star by building a thick fan base. In addition, the news of joining " 2 Days & 1 Night ," which will be a stepping stone to increase popularity and awareness, is reported, so whether Na In-woo will be able to breathe new life into " 2 Days & 1 Night ," or expectations are high for his performance.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
