Kang Ho-dong
Before "2 Days &amp; 1 Night" was first aired, it was preceded by "Are You Ready" which featured four of the six "2 Days &amp; 1 Night" Season 1 members (Kang Ho-dong, Lee Soo-geun, Kim Jong-min, and Eun Jiwon). "Are You Ready" was canceled due to low viewership ratings and was replaced by "2 Days &amp; 1 Night" after 12 episodes. Singer and actor Lee Ji-hoon was offered to join the cast of "1 Night 2 Days" but rejected the role to take a role on MBC drama "New Heart" instead.
