KBS‘s beloved program, ’1 Night 2 Days‘ (‘1N2D‘), will be holding its final filming session on February 10th. The day before, one of its cast members, Lee Seung Gi, went onto his official website to share his thoughts and bid farewell to the program that gave him much love.
Lee Seung Gi wrote, “It’s the last recording for ’1 Night 2 Days’, and I’ve been thinking so much that I guess you could say I’ve gone blank? I just feel empty… I don’t know if I feel relieved, sad, or regretful.. During the six years I’ve been on ’1N2D’, my life also seemed to shine along with it. I learned so much, matured a lot, and met so many great people. In particular, I think many people became a fan of a celebrity called Lee Seung Gi by watching ’1N2D’. So, I don’t quite know how I’m feeling..haha.”
He continued, “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to meet another program like this again. This could be the variety show that has given me the most laughs and I’ve enjoyed the most in my life. However, I think it might be more embarrassing trying to hold on to the situation due to my feelings of insecurity [of what my future might hold]. From now on, I will have to start anew. This is the responsibility of living on with the name of ‘Lee Seung Gi’.”
He added, “Rather than us, I’m more thankful and more respectful of those who have cared for, gained strength from , and enjoyed watching a program called ’1N2D’.
“I don’t know what we did to make them feel that way and gain strength… Rather than us being great, I think it was those who watched [the show] that were really warmhearted,” he stated before concluding with, “It’s the last time, but as if it’s not the last time… We’re separating, but as if we’re not separating.. We don’t know when we’ll meet again, but [it's] as if we’ll meet again soon… Everyone! Thank you for everything… I’ll greet you again in March through MBC’s ‘The King’, so please keep an eye on me!“
Lee Seung Gi’s letter to the viewers marks a sad end to ’1N2D’, but its hopeful tone helps mark a new beginning for the singer as well. Many fans of the show are anxiously waiting for its final episode, and also looking forward to what the new season of ’1N2D’ may bring.
