'2 Days, 1 Night' Ratings Spike After Episode With Jung Joon Young, 'Running Man,' 'Secretly Greatly' Falls Behind

Fans of the popular KBS variety program, "2 Days, 1 Night" got a wonderful surprise when former member, Jung Joon Young returned. The unexpected return of Jung Joon Young in "2 Days, 1 Night" has reportedly boosted the ratings of the variety show. During the said episode, the KBS variety show bested its counterparts from other networks, "Running Man" (SBS) and "Secretly Greatly" (MBC).

It can be noted that Jung Joon Young has been absent from "2 Days, 1 Night" for quite sometime with no exact date of returning. The hiatus of the 27-year old singer-songwriter has finally ended with his surprise return during the January 15 episode. With the viewership ratings spiking up upon Jung Joon Young's return, it's safe to say that he is a very important and indispensable ingredient in the said variety show.

As expected, the latest episode of "2 Days, 1 Night" had something to do with the return of Jung Joon Young. In the said episode, Jung Joon Young was tasked to climb Mount Jirisan, Korea's second highest mountain. Meanwhile, the other members of the KBS variety show had no idea that they had to mention Jung Joon Young's name for a certain number of times for him to be able to join the in the show.

The tricky part was that the cast members drew the number 30 in the lottery and they actually had no idea that Jung Joon Young's return depended on the number of times they would mention his name in the show. "2 Days, 1 Night" ended with a cliffhanger, as Jung Joon Young still hasn't been able to reunite with his hyungs.

However, it's only a matter of time until Jung Joon Hyung reunites with the cast members of "2 Days, 1 Night." According to Soompi, Jung Joon Hyung's return to "2 Days, 1 Night" went smoothly and everyone warmly welcomed the youngest group member.
