2 Days & 1 Night season 4 staged a New Year's special as a five-member format for the first time after Cho Sae-ho's departure.
On the 4th, KBS2's 2 Days & 1 Night season 4 aired a "2026 New Year plan manipulation team" Race to mark the new year.
In the opening that day, the members appeared in suits, drawing attention. Recording was conducted in a five-member format for the first time after Cho Sae-ho's departure, and the producers, without any particular mention of Cho Sae-ho, said "today is the first broadcast of 2026," and the members bowed deeply to viewers, saying "Happy New Year."
Moon Seyoon said "the new year of Byeong-o has dawned. It's the year of the red horse," and the producers asked the members about their New Year plans and resolutions. In response, Yoo Seon-ho said "I was born in the year of the horse. Next year, about four or five dramas and films are expected to be released. I filmed a lot last year," foreshadowing a busy year.
Kim Jongmin urged, "Seon-ho, you have to run," and Yoo Seon-ho vowed his New Year resolution, saying, "I've been working hard so far, but I'll work even harder."
To this, DinDin asked, "Jongmin hyung, you have plans for this year, right?" and Kim Jongmin replied, "I have plans. I'm definitely starting with a baby," revealing his strong intention toward having a second child.
He warned, "Don't mess with me," and DinDin retorted, "Why would Uk-ri mess with hyung? I have no intention of messing with him," drawing laughter.
Kim Jongmin said, "Don't put me in a bad condition," and Moon Seyoon relayed Kim Jongmin's exceptional effort, saying, "Actually, I've been managing my body since marriage. For 2026 this year."
DinDin clicked his tongue, saying, "This hyung manages his body like this, and if he gets through this year, I think next year he'll be like Sean hyung. He's been managing his health so diligently." In particular, he drew attention by spreading the rumor about Moon Seyoon, saying, "He said he has plans for a third child."
Moon Seyoon drew a line, saying, "Absolutely not. My body isn't ready," but honestly revealed, "But you never know. I'll leave the possibility open."
Kim Jongmin said, "He really dreams of a third child," and Moon Seyoon said, "I'm a little envious of toddlers walking around," adding, "I actually don't have many plans. I've been like that every year. Just stay healthy. I prayed to be able to keep doing what I do for a long time, and this year people say that those born in 1982, the year of the dog, will have a big hit. The fortune, the luck. I'm a little hopeful. If there's a big break, I hope it happens on 2 Days & 1 Night."
Meanwhile, the producers said, "We also ambitiously made New Year plans," and took out a "2026 New Year plan" wheel. The wheel was filled with items close to punishments, such as 24-hour nonstop no-sleep, extreme wilderness deserted island, open sea fishing, bitter cold extreme winter, and freezing street.
Amid the members' outcry, the producers explained, "Through a team mission, the pieces of the wheel acquired will have desired travel themes written on them, and the final wheel will be spun; the bucket-list trip that comes up must be carried out as the result." The members then set out on missions to collect wheel pieces, and next week's much-anticipated result was previewed, raising expectations.
