*sobs*

But Joo Won needs to to have time to rest and while I'm deeply saddened that I won't get my Sunday fix of Joo Won, I am fine with this decision. Or so I tell myself.

But then, overseas promotion! *excited*

Really sad but I understand his decision...wish him more awesome projects in the future !

The show is actually getting better, the latest friend special was a great episode.

Awww… gonna miss him lots when he leave. ):

I had stopped watching 1N2D since the new PD came so I don't know how the show is faring (only going by GF's comments) but methinks Joo Won did the right thing. No point in sticking around a drowning ship....I'll just pretend 1n2d ended when Bird PD and Seung-woo had left.

Jumping the ship before it sinks

Knowing how he always has a soft spot for this show, I don't think its his decision to leave. Sometime the agency took the decision for their talents, thinking what they thought is the best for them.
This is so sad :( there goes my only reason to stick with this show since it's the only place I could see Joo Won as himself, not as a character in a drama.

I don't think it was JW's decision fully but moreso his agency, we haven't had an official statement from him, only his agency is speaking out about his departure.

OMG.. this is shocking.. I bet Joo Won actually didn't wanna leave.. so sad..

1 night 2 days is no longer fun.
pros: he can appear on running man now :D
cons:cant see him everyweek..

will need a Kleenex box when watching his last episode...

aw, no more puppy piles! So sad!

Seriously, Yesterday I was just so happy because joo won finally sang an ost for good doctor and also yesterday was his birthday and his agency drops a bomb like this, what a roller coaster for my emotions.

I still love the show and I'm gonna keep watching but it's still a really sad news.

1n2d FIGHTING!!!

Wahh! :'( My crew. Miss them. It hurts, even though I'm not watching it anymore.

I would probably be sad if I was still watching. The banner up top keeps cycling through Uhmforce pictures when I check this thread. Will the bromance be able to survive?!

he keeps jumping into a new drama within a few months after finishing his last one so with him going overseas and his upcoming musical does that mean he is taking time off from dramaland? i really hope not he is one of my favorite actors he is freaking amazing in everything he is in

Joowon is like the happy virus for the cast & he is really adorable in the show T_T

Owh noooeeesss! He is the only reason I am still watching 1d2n...

now, i'm thinking this. if he will quit 1n2d, secretly i want him to appear in grandpas over flowers as luggage boy. i know he doesn't have any relation to Na PD since he join the show together with Bird PD. but i just want this adorable cute oppa together with adorable cute halbaes.

oh, maybe ilsub halbae can ask him.

His musical,Ghost, seems to be the main reason why he left the show.Musical needs a lot of practices and will be using up a lot of his energy before it starts.And Overseas productions(based on poster,Paramount Pictures is included ) are managing this musical.So I guess the schedules can't be helped.

I am glad that he is going back to his root as a musical actor despite the fame.Although,we lose Joo won in 1n2d,I believe he made a right decision as a actor.

Welps, sad news for those watching 1night2days, but im thinking it's about time for him to take some load off his shoulders. how he managed to juggle so much at once -- i wondered how he functioned on a daily basis.

Yikes, how the mighty have fallen. Remember when it used to get 40% ratings? I miss the good ol' days.

Wa!!!! I shipped Joowoon-Sikyung bromance.

No more brotherhood drama for me to squeal on T_T

on the bright side, he's coming to singapore! whoots!

What are these overseas activities? And will they involve Dallas, TX? If not, booo and hisss.

Makes me wonder how the boys will continue without their puppy... Also, this means Jongmin is their new maknae. HA.

So the maknae leaves. That makes the donggap duo Sikyung and Jongmin maknaes? What an interesting shift in dynamics. OK, will have to check back in after JW's swan song. Can't bear to watch when a puppy cries.

Oh no. I dont want him to leave.

Go away Running Man fans. Lol.

Really tho. You guys gotta try the latest eps before judging? I know the ratings suck but it doesn't mean the show sucks too. (one word: rivals.)

.. Joo Won, don't leave......... :'(

I know that lots of people will hate me for saying this but I'm really glad he left. He wasn't funy, he didn't do anything special, he doesn't have a unique personality. The only thing was to make the viewers say" JooWon's cute" just because of his looks.
He was very overrated in the show. He is a very overrated actor, too.

Ah... so it's for real?
And there I was, watching an episode after a long time just last Sunday.

It is sad hearing about it (means I won't get to see him unless he gets in some drama or something I can stream online). But I can very well understand why and yes, musicals do take lots of preparation. Won't do to have him get ill with exhaustion. I can only wish the best for him and his career. Hopefully we'll see him soon enough, even if it won't be on 1n2d.

before, 1n2d is my most favorite variety show. it's sad that the show has been becoming like this.

hopefully, pd na new project would be as great as his 1n2d, i miss a variety show that can make me laugh and cry at the same time.

I am extremely sad and was actually dreading for this day to happen. It materialized now.. *sigh* I knew that sooner or later he will quit because of his recent projects and crazy schedule. He has to rest right?

But, I was about to cry when I read the headline this morning.. I find the show really really entertaining and Joo Won is my eye candy in my first and (yes) my last Korean Variety Show.

I will surely miss the Joo Rodin Pyong Aegyo Master.. :(
I've held to the variety show even though there was no recap. I will revisit from the first episode of season 2 until Joo Won's last day..

I will continue rooting for Joo Won and they announced the news after his birthday.. *sigh* I know there will be a lot of tears for their maknae in his last episode :'(

Kim Jong Min=Maknae??? ㅋㅋㅋ

Even though I'm sad he's quitting the show, I want him to be free from some obligations, Joo Won is really workaholic, and I'm always worried he'll collapse one day, so I really want him to have some rest.

Going to miss my joowonie :((

just a thought. Joowon being in 1n2d is a big boost to his fans overseas since we get to see him everyweek in his real element. Ghost on the other hand will definitely hone his thespian talents but his international fans will not see him for quite some time unless they buy tickets and go to South Korea to see him...why not, if our budget allows it. Hoping that he can come visit Manila, Philippines to see his fans here!!!

Looks like I'm gonna have to marathon the second season. Good luck joo won.

It is sad that he have decided to leave the show, it much more sad to see how one of the top variety show have come down to this much. There was a time that I cant end my week without watching an episode I even watch reruns and download it from the Internet. When season 2 started I was hesitant to watch but proceed in doing so since Sugeun, Jongmin and Taewong are still there, however I no longer see the spark I saw watching the first season. The antics seems lacking sometimes I even think that the reactions are practiced or just given for the heck of it. I hope the show gets on the right track.

This is a really depressing news...
Joo Won must be really sad. I remember in one of the episode he had mentioned that he was envious of Uhm Taewoong when Taewoong got casted for 1n2d. He's always saying that he's close with the rest members like they are family.

Is this true?! http://www.soompi.com/2013/10/02/no-new-members-for-1-night-2-days-however-a-familiar-face-will-return/

I'm really sad joo won is leaving. Even if I like all of them. I mostly watch the
show for him. What I really like about him is how hardworking he is. He always does his best.
He may not be as talktalktive and cheerfull as others. But I can't help rooting for him in the show and also in his others activity.
I guess I'm not going to watch 2d1n anymore.
RM is not my cup of tea, so what can I watch next that will help to say goodbye to 2d1n.
