Amid viral buzz that Kim Jong-min of Koyote and Super Junior’s Shindong will appear in Great Escape: The Story Season 2, the production side has finally spoken.
The duo were original cast members of tvN’s variety show The Great Escape, starring in every season from 1 through 4 and winning over viewers. But when the franchise moved to TVING last year, they sat out of Great Escape: The Story, leaving fans disappointed.
On the 1st, MBC Entertainment reported that Kim Jong-min and Shindong are joining Great Escape: The Story Season 2 and are gearing up for filming.
However, TVING told Ilgan Sports, "Only the production of the program has been decided, and the cast and even the program title are still undecided." In other words, the pair’s appearance has not been confirmed yet.
Previously, Shindong earned the nickname "Captain Shin" for his sharp instincts and insight, while Kim Jong-min left a strong impression with monikers like "Kim Jong-bam" and "Kim Discovery." Fans of The Great Escape are already clasping their hands in hope, with some saying, "We’d love to see Kim Discovery and Captain Shin back," and "It never made sense not to have the two in the first place."
