KBS's '1 Night 2 Days' has announced that the hit variety program will be running for six more months before it comes to a close in February 2012. All of the cast members reportedly made a mutual agreement with the producers of the show, saying that they would be leaving altogether in six months. Their official press release reads as follows:

"We would first like to thank all of the viewers who have shown love for '1 Night 2 Days'. For the past four years, KBS's '1 Night 2 Days' has been an extremely joyful program that's received the generous love of its viewers. Because of recent events, many discussions have been taking place internally. After holding a frank, open-minded discussion with the '1 Night 2 Day' members, including Kang Ho Dong-ssi, we have come to a final decision that we will be announcing to viewers in the following paragraphs: The members of '1 Night 2 Days', including KBS and Kang Ho Dong-ssi, cannot imagine a '1 Night 2 Days' without any of its members. We have come to a consensus of starting and ending the show together as one. As a program that runs true to form, there is no 'end'. The case is usually members pitifully departing one by one due to a drop in viewer ratings. '1 Night 2 Days', a program that's praised for being the 'nation's variety show', is the result of much sweat and effort from the members and staff. We do not want something that shines so brightly to meet with a pitiful end. Realistically, the members also all agree that '1 Night 2 Days' cannot continue on forever. As such, all of the members have agreed to do their absolute best for the next six months and bring the show to a successful conclusion. We've worked with passion for the past four years, and will continue to do so for the next six months. We'll be working as if each episode is the last and promise to move our citizens and provide them with laughter. We ask that you continue to show us your interest and love."
