Kim Jong Min is an irreplaceable member of KBS2′s 1 Night, 2 Days,
and managed to build for himself a unique character that no one else
can imitate. Even he, however, had his own difficulties and obstacles to
overcome in the past.
The biggest obstacle for him came when he had just joined the show again after being released from his military duties in December 2009. Everyone was looking forward to seeing him fly in variety, but Kim Jong Min himself had been suffering from a slump at the time.
In a recent shoot of KBS2′s Win Win, Kim Jong Min said, "I joined the first season of 1 Night, 2 Days right after I was released from my duties, but the viewers were let down when I wasn′t able to live up to their expectations in my variety skills. Some even signed a petition to have me leave the show."

He had to look on as malicious comments filled his articles. One even
called him ′cancer′, saying that he was like cancer to the show.
"That comment hurt me the most," Kim Jong Min said.
The singer had no choice but to find a way to overcome. He first decided to leave all of his other variety shows.
"I told myself if I couldn′t overcome, I would leave variety altogether," said he.
He added he had managed to finally overcome by trying to understand the emotions behind the comments.
"I didn′t avoid them, and I read every single comment. After reading them for a few months, I could see what the people who wrote those comments felt. Then I felt more relaxed and my mind settled."
The story of how he overcame his big slump will be told on the October 16 broadcast of Win Win.

arboreea (it ismy user name :) : )Kim Jong Min did very well until left on duty because he is a nice guy and does anything he is told to do...he is talented but not much creative; hodong helped and supported him very much before, in the shows where he was MC...but (and Jiwon in Strong Heart told this once to Hodong) when Seungi gets into the show, Hodong had eyes only for him and supported high level LSG and only LSG, Jong min had then to confront this new situation...nobody supported him and he is, a guy who like to do what he is told to do..not to have own initiative. Nobody helped him there and I think that happened because they envied his former success and rating due to all shows he was invited before 1n2d..He then had hard times to go through :(((
