Lee Jong Hyuk's agency rep stated on the 30th, "[Lee Jong Hyuk] has already notified the producers of his intent to leave the show. He is also very sad that it's over... He plans to focus on his acting career." According to an MBC rep, Lee Jong Hyuk announced his decision to the producers to leave the program just in time for his son Junsu's entrance into elementary school.


The other actor on the show, Sung Dong Il is reportedly leaning towards leaving, but his departure has not been confirmed. The other cast members are currently in discussion and so far it's been mentioned that Yoon Hoo and his dad Yoon Min Soo are leaning towards staying on.


The original cast of 'Dad, Where Are You Going?' held their final filming in Jeju Island earlier this month and the staff are currently working on the cast for season two with possibilities of several original members staying and even non-celebrity fathers joining the show.
