Season 3 premiered on December 1, 2013, with returning members Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Jong-min, and new members Kim Jun-ho, Kim Joo-hyuk, Jung Joon-young, and Defconn. On November 22, 2015, Kim Joo-hyuk left the cast of season 3 on their two-year anniversary, as he filmed his last episodes on November 20 and 21. Yoon Shi-yoon was then rumored to be in talks to join the show and officially became the new member in April 2016. Jung Joon-young left the show on September 29, 2016 due to his scandal regarding a "sexual offence" charged by his former girlfriend, of which he was later cleared of. On January 7, 2017, a production member confirmed that Joon-young will return to the show, already having recorded an episode the previous day. Jung Joon-young was permanently removed on March 12, 2019 by the production team due to his involvement in the Burning Sun scandal concerning non-consensual filming during sex and covert distribution of said illegal videos). As a result, KBS announced on March 15 that they are halting the production and broadcast of "2 Days &amp; 1 Night" until further announcement is made. The chatroom exposé also affected members Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Jun-ho with allegations of golf gambling in large amounts, resulting in both of them quitting all their television programs, including "2 Days &amp; 1 Night" where they were cast members with Jung, with immediate effect. This marked the abrupt end of Season 3, unlike the two previous seasons having traditional farewell episodes. This also marked the end of Defconn, Yoon Shi-yoon and Lee Yong-jin's run with the show. It was revealed in April 2021 that Lee Yong-jin, who joined the cast as an intern on December 30, 2018, was set to be a permanent cast member of Season 3.
