The members of ‘2 Days & 1 Night’ set out to find ‘good fortune’ to welcome the new year.

On the KBS2 entertainment program ‘2 Days & 1 Night Season 4’, which aired on the 2nd, the first story of the six members who went on a trip to Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do was depicted. The broadcast that day recorded 8.8% in viewership ratings (based on Nielsen Korea, nationwide). The scene where Lee Joon explains the given words in a horseback riding stance due to his urgency during the ‘Let‘s Draw It’ mission soared to a peak viewership rating of 13.1%.

As it was the first filming of the new year, the ‘2 Days & 1 Night’ team started the year with good energy and started the opening at Maisan Tower. After seeing numerous stone pagodas, the production team gave a surprise quiz to the members, asking them to name five pagodas at Maisan Tapsa Temple, and Moon Se-yoon, who answered correctly first, received a fortune cookie as a gift.

The production team introduced the concept of this trip as ‘Guys with Good Fortune’ and announced the start of a full-scale battle to win the fortune cookies by saying, “If you collect a lot of fortune cookies, good things will happen”. Afterwards, the members moved to a cafe that was renovated from a closed school, where they met fortune teller Heo Gu-bong, who is also an acquaintance of Yoo Seon-ho from SBS ‘Possessed Romance’.

The ‘2 Days & 1 Night’ team, starting with the oldest member Kim Jong-min, had time to have their fortunes read one by one with the fortune teller for the new year. After everyone’s fortunes were read, the fortune teller chose Moon Se-yoon as the winner of the ‘Best Fortune of 2025’, which would give him one fortune cookie, and Moon Se-yoon took the lead among the ‘Lucky Guys’ by continuously getting fortune cookies from the beginning.

After reading their fortunes, the members began the ‘Cooking Fortune Cookies’ mission, which involved getting one fortune cookie and lunch at the same time. The six members hid fortune cookies with their names written on them all over the cafe and searched the building thoroughly to find the other members‘ fortune cookies within the time limit, and some of them even formed alliances and carried out joint operations.

The members continued to search for and hide each other’s fortune cookies, and repeatedly betrayed each other as they continued the mission without a moment to catch their breath until the time limit was up. In the end, Kim Jong-min, Moon Se-yoon, and DinDin became the final winners of the game, securing one fortune cookie each and lunch. On the other hand, Jo Se-ho, Lee Jun, and Yoo Seon-ho headed to the lunch spot empty-handed without getting a single lucky charm.

After lunch, the ‘2 Days & 1 Night’ team moved to base camp to continue the ‘Lucky Guys’ mission. Inspired by Jo Se-ho‘s outstanding drawing skills during the previous trip to Yokjido, the ‘Let’s Draw’ mission was launched, and the members each used their creativity and quick wit to draw pictures and wittily explained the given word.

Next, it was Jo Se-ho‘s turn, who had everyone’s expectations, and he quickly drew the given word and elicited the members‘ correct answers. The members couldn’t hide their surprise at Jo Se-ho‘s witty picture explanations, just like ‘Nephew’.

The ‘2 Days & 1 Night’ team, who set out on this trip with even more lively tension to welcome the new year, presented pleasant laughter with their even stronger chemistry. As Moon Se-yoon continues his winning streak in missions and runs wild in the lead of ‘Lucky Guys’, curiosity is rising about whether the lower-ranking members will make a big comeback in next week’s broadcast.

‘2 Days & 1 Night Season 4’ airs every Sunday at 6:10 PM.
