Kim Jong-min Faces Another Hilarious 'Drop-out' on '2 Days 1 Night' Amidst 'Phantom Thief Hungry' Mystery

Get ready for another moment of bewilderment as Kim Jong-min finds himself hilariously left behind once again on KBS2's '2 Days 1 Night Season 4' (hereafter referred to as '2 Days 1 Night').

The upcoming episode, airing on the 23rd, will feature the first part of the six members' trip to Goheung County, South Jeolla Province.

In this episode, the members dive into a thrilling deduction mission to find the elusive 'Phantom Thief Hungry,' who has stolen their dinner. With one member secretly acting as the thief, the rest of the cast begins scrutinizing each other from the outset, employing hawk-like observation to catch any suspicious behavior.

However, as the mission progresses, the identity of 'Phantom Thief Hungry' becomes increasingly obscure. Unexpected twists and turns further throw the members' deductions into a labyrinth of confusion. Viewers will be keen to see if the members can overcome these challenges and obtain the crucial clues needed to unmask the thief.

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-min, who famously experienced a legendary 'drop-out' in Season 1, faces another absurd separation from the group after a long hiatus. Completely engrossed in a game, he is suddenly apprehended by security personnel. "I didn't do anything. I was just standing still! You saw me!" he desperately cries out to the production team, but to no avail, ending up separated from his teammates.

Adding to the comedic chaos, DinDin playfully accuses Jo Se-ho, "Se-ho hyung grew his hair out so he could win the Grand Prize," and then turns his attention to Kim Jong-min, questioning his sudden burst of effort, "Why do you always work so hard around this time? You always push hard for the last two months." This sparks suspicions of him building up his image for the '2025 KBS Entertainment Awards.' Kim Jong-min, however, readily admits his ambition, stating, "We have to work hardest in November. Everyone, now is the time!"

The intense battle of wits among the members to find 'Phantom Thief Hungry' and the full story behind Kim Jong-min's baffling 'drop-out' will be revealed on the '2 Days 1 Night Season 4' episode airing this Sunday at 6:10 PM KST.

Korean netizens reacted with amusement, commenting things like, 'Kim Jong-min's drop-out again, LOL, he's a legend,' 'The thief deduction mission looks fun! Who's the culprit?', and 'DinDin's starting again, LOL, the Grand Prize build-up is hilarious,' expressing high anticipation for the broadcast.
