PD Na Young Suk recently shared his thoughts about former ’1 Night 2 Days‘ (‘1N2D‘) members, Kang Ho Dong and MC Mong.
PD Na will step down from his position on February 26th. Prior to that, he held a in-depth interview with OSEN, who asked for his feelings about the members on his team. PD Na revealed, “The members that I feel for the most are Kang Ho Dong and MC Mong.”
He continued, “It’s because these two are currently in the worst situations. When we went on the trip for the ‘Korean’s Winter Dining Table’ concept, I remember the words from the lady who cooked sweet potato porridge. She said, “Well off sons are sons of the nation, the sons with debt are my sons.” Those words of wisdom was exactly like how I felt.”
“Lee Seung Gi is one of the longest lasting members on the team and I am personally very close to him, but Seung Gi is the well off son. He is currently receiving lots of love from everyone and he is someone who will do well in any situation. But, MC Mong is the person that I feel the most for. Lee Seung Gi and MC Mong are close to me, both as a director and in my personal life, but the feelings I have for both of them are a little different.”
“Truthfully, what family goes on a trip, eat together, and sleep together every week? There has been a lot of difficulties these past five years, but we fought through them and we became really close with each other. I feel like we have more than a real average family would have. It’s just as the viewers believe — the relationship between the staff and crew are like family.”
“Kang Ho Dong is a bit better off, but MC Mong…No matter what people say, I always want to help him find a successful path. Whether it’s him coming back to television or whatever else, I want to help him as much as I can. I feel really bad for Kang Ho Dong and MC Mong having to suddenly quit the program like that.”
