Na In-woo reminds people of Lee Seung-gi as he becomes new maknae of “2 Days and 1 Night” to make up for Kim Seon-ho’s place

Will Na In-woo follow the steps of Lee Seung-gi?

Both are handsome and clumsy. At this point, I think it should be called parallelism. Actor Na In-woo, a new cast member of “2 Days and 1 Night,” drew attention from viewers from the first broadcast with his resemblance with Lee Seung-gi in the past.

KBS2’s variety program “2 Days and 1 Night Season 4,” which aired on the evening of February 13th, introduced Na In-woo as a new cast member. Na In-woo met the production team that day and showed his relaxed personality. 

In this episode, Na In-woo said, “People of the Republic of Korea, I will appear in ‘2 Days and 1 Night’ as of today. I’m not good enough, but I believe my hyungs will help me. I will work hard to be the worthy dongsaeng of the older members. I will capture your hearts,” he said, expressing his strong ambition.

Na In-woo joined “2 Days and 1 Night,” taking a similar step as Lee Seung-gi. Lee Seung-gi became a cast member of the show in November 2007 and quickly created an entertainment trend, earning a number of nicknames such as “Clumsy” and “Makjang Chef” through his sense of variety, even though it was his first time as a fixed member of a variety show.

Viewers gave enthusiastic support to Lee Seung-gi‘s unexpected charm despite his usual image being so exemplary. The same goes for Na In-woo. 

In particular, the two have not only similar characters but also similar entertainment backgrounds. At that time, Lee Seung-gi was urgently casted as a replacement for Noh Hong-chul, who dropped out of the show for other schedules. Na In-woo also filled the spot for Kim Seon-ho, who left “2 Days and 1 Night” due to controversy over his private life.

Lee Seung-gi is a precedent that Na In-woo should follow. The actor gained the title of “Nation’s Younger Brother” through “2 Days and 1 Night,” and is currently having the best time as an entertainer and actor along with his main job, singer. In recognition of his performance, he is sweeping the top awards at various awards ceremonies every year.

These two actors are said to mesmerize fans with similar charms. People are focusing their attention on whether Na In-woo will be able to become a multi-talented star in various fields, regardless of acting or variety in the future, like Lee Seung-gi, who marked a turning point in his life by joining “2 Days and 1 Night.”
