‘Dad and Me’ is returning for season 2.

According to TV CHOSUN, ‘Dad and Me’ has confirmed the first broadcast of season 2 for March 11th (Tuesday) at 10 PM, and is gearing up to meet viewers with an even stronger lineup. This season, the cast includes ‘national child actor’ Lee Gun-joo, who received much love for his role as ‘Soon-dol’ in the drama ‘Three Families Under One Roof’, but is now a shaman; chef Yeo Kyung-rae, who created a buzz by showing off his 50-year ‘Chinese cuisine mastery in ‘Black and White Chef: Culinary Class War’; and chef Yeo Min, the eldest son who is following his father‘s footsteps in becoming a Chinese chef.

Jun Hyun-moo, who rose to fame as the ‘empathy fairy’ through the first season of ‘Dad and Me’, will remain as MC and ‘representative son’ this time around. Jeon Hyun-moo not only deeply understands the stories of various parents and children, but also increases the immersion with his sincere empathy and honest reactions. In particular, he adds to the fun by sharing his own experiences here and there, and representing the son’s position with realistic fact bombs when it comes to the awkward father-son relationship. In addition to Jeon Hyun-moo, ‘Daughter Representative’ Lee Seung-yeon and WJSN‘s Soobin will join and interact with the viewers. The identity of the special guest ‘Dad Representative’, who is shrouded in mystery, can be revealed through the broadcast.

Meanwhile, ‘Dad and I’, which first aired on December 6, 2023, was broadcast for a total of 42 episodes until October 2, 2024. Starting with Lee Seung-yeon, who has been responsible for the family’s livelihood for 30 years, revealing her birth mother and the mother who raised her, many stars revealed their previously unknown family histories, giving viewers a warm and touching experience, such as the first time in 30 years that Choi Min-soo‘s wife Kang Joo-eun and her Canadian parents lived together, the tearful reconciliation between Baek Il-seop and his daughter who had been estranged for 7 years after graduating from college, and the process by which popular actor Jang Gwang and his unknown actor son Jang Young unlock their hearts and reconcile. In addition, Park Se-ra, Park Si-hoo, Oh Yu-jin, Bae Ah-hyun, Kim Byung-ok, Seo Hyo-rim, Cosmic Girls’ Soobin, Ham Ik-byung, Son Dam-bi, Ahn Hyun-mo, So Yi-hyun, Kim Bin-woo, Nam Jin, Park Joong-hoon, and others shared their honest family stories.

As a result, ‘My Dad and I’ has become a representative family entertainment show in South Korea, boasting explosive views and buzz, including 150 million total views on YouTube. Following the popular season 1, ‘My Dad and I’ season 2, which is returning even stronger with new characters, will premiere on Tuesday, March 11 at 10 p.m.
