Who is Kim Jong Min going to push out when he comes back from the army? The not-so-bright but hilarious monkey MC Mong?  The quiet indie band leader Kim C? Or will it be the eternal bus driver Lee Soo Geun?  Lee Seung Gi revealed on yesterday’s Chuseok episode of “Happy Together 3″ that these kinds of questions/jokes about changing of the guards are absolutely forbidden on set at 1N2D.

Apparently, everyone is so afraid of being the one replaced with the possible return of the original member, Kim Jong Min, that even joking about it is taboo.  I, for one, think that the 6 members right now are at the top of the game when it comes to comedic chemistry.  It would be a shame if someone came in and the magic were to disappear, even if it is Kim Jong Min.  No one knows what the 1N2D producers are thinking at the moment, but would you be upset if one of the current 6 members was “asked” to leave at this point?

And for all you Lee Seung Gi lovers out there, here is a bonus:  When asked by MC Yoo to describe his ideal girl?  The singer replied with:

1. Someone who can understand the nature of my job, someone I can rely on 2. Roundish face that has both “western” and “eastern” features  3.  Not too tall  4.  Not too skinny  5.  ”Since I can’t dance, it would be nice if she could”.

MC Mong, on behalf of the 1N2D brothers, insisted that Seung Gi is forbidden to date for next five years in order to ensure the youngster’s ultimate career trajectory…and the livelihood of 1N2D.

    as much as I find Kim Jong Mon hilarious, I definitely don’t want him back on the show.
    2D1N is what it is now, because of its current 6 members. They have so much chemistry together that they’ve built over the course of the show, and all the members make up for what one of them lacks.
    Even though I’m a huge fan of the show, I think I will stop watching it if one of the members is replaced.

    KJM is pure LOVE, I don’t care what show he will participate in, he is, like, 100% awesome. And, as I don’t have favourite in 1N2D, I don’t care who he pushes out or something. I will not be sad if this team stays the way it is now, though. I just want ANY show with KJM, not necessary 1N2D.

    sore t0pic..he2..
    well, the m0st pr0lly member i’m afraid ‘to be taken out’(just in case..but i really don’t want it to happen) is mcm0ng..bc0s he is the 0ne that kidda replace j0ng min place when he went to army back then..but, yeah..i str0ngly believe(can i say that?) that this 6 current members is the best combination of all..and i guess the PDs n staff d0 kn0w and realize it as well..but, anything c0uld happen aite?enih0w, just l0ve 1n2d!!! ^_^

    Um…How can a girl have both western and eastern features if she’s EASTERN? What, just having eastern features isn’t good enough? She has to get plastic surgery so that she’s “the best of both worlds”? Imagine someone telling western girls: “I want the western girl who also has eastern features!”
    Or is this a subtle hint that he’s interested in Eurasians, who are the only people who can fit his qualifications without resorting to surgical alterations?

    Sorry, but the unreal standards of beauty over in Korea always freak me out.

    • manoman says:

      um, maybe he wants someone like Shin ae? shes asian with western features without plastic surgery i believe.

      also, i dont care who kim jong min pushes out. the guy is pure entertainment. also, shouldnt the cast already know that when kim jong min was done with his military duties that he would be coming back?

      thats a bit selfish on their behalf.

    • Sukarestu says:

      Its sad their going to be cutting someone off
      It wouldve been well received if they just added Jongmin in
      But if that would have to occur
      I would honestly choose Kim C
      Not that i dont like him, just if were going to have to replace then he would be a fairly better selection because its quite obvious he doesnt have much comical acts or scenes

      Either way i already believe Jongmin will be a great character on 1n2d
      Change happens and even early changes can occur

      @Blue
      Try widening your mind
      Even if shes eastern doesn’t mean she’ll have only whats declared “eastern features”
      And there can be certain situations to increase this chance
      Like parents of diffrent nationality or born in different countries
      Plastic surgery is obviously one in the list
      But its not the only option
      And he hasn’t said he wanted a girl who could rule in modeling of both regions..
      If that were to come.. God has definitely changed fair to amazing

  8. jen says:

    honestly i would never think of replacing 1n2d now!
    i would love it though if kim jong min was a guest!!
    that would be amazing!

  9. katja says:

    this topic makes me freak out!! I love Jong Min soooo MUCH!!
    He is the only one who can beat Jiwon in choding-ness competition.
    In the other hand I don’t want anyone to be removed..
    Let’s just believe in 1n2d PD’s decision..

  10. riseup says:

    NONE of them should be removed
    and i dont want kim jong min to be added
    1n2d is the best right now and they’re the ones who made the show possible and have great high ratings
    they have the best chemistry of all shows
    1n2d HWAITING

  11. woodong_wooyoung says:

    Maybe they should just have him guest in one ep and see how the response will be. We gotta see how he fits in with the chemistry of the 6 other guys first. I originally wanted him to come back on the show but now the show’s too perfect as it is. Why fix what isn’t broken?

  12. threecents says:

    i dont think its necessary to remove any of the members just to have jong min back. is replacement really inevitable?

    i for one would be happy to have a 7th member to expand the chemistry. the more the merrier.

  13. Andrea says:

    What the? OH HALE NO. If KJM’s going to be back after his military duty it’s as a 7th member or not at all. He’s a funny guy, but the brotherhood and experiences they’ve been through as the current six will win always.
