Before 1 Night 2 Days was first aired, it was preceded by Are You Ready which featured most of the 1 Night 2 Days members — Kang Ho Dong, Lee Su Geun, Kim Jong Min, and Eun Ji Won. Are You Ready was canceled due to low viewership ratings and was replaced by 1 Night 2 Days after 12 episodes.
Singer and actor Lee Ji Hoon was offered to join the cast of 1 Night 2 Days but rejected the role to take a role on MBC's drama New Heart instead.
