Kapanlagi.com - The variety show The Great Escape: The Story is confirmed to return in the second half of 2026 on the TVING platform. On Wednesday (5/8/2026), CJ ENM announced the lineup for the latest season, marking a significant change in the cast compared to the first season.
One of the main changes is the departure of Kang Ho Dong from the Great Escape squad. At the same time, Seungkwan from SEVENTEEN is confirmed to join as a new member for the second season.
"In the new season of Great Escape, which is scheduled to premiere on TVING in the second half of 2026, Kim Jongmin, Kim Dong Hyun, Yesung, Yoo Byung Jae, Go Kyung Pyo, and Seungkwan will join as participants who must escape and embark on an exciting journey," said CJ ENM, as reported by Maeil Business.
As he prepares to leave this program, Kang Ho Dong delivers a message to the viewers and his colleagues at the event.
"Every moment in Great Escape has given me immense joy and happiness. For this season, I am confident that my colleagues and juniors, who possess more imagination and intelligence than I do, will do their utmost for the success of Great Escape," said Kang Ho Dong.
He also left a hint for the members of the second season. "Lastly, I want to give a hint: there is always a clue somewhere," he said.

According to Allkpop, the members will showcase their strengths again in the second season. Kim Jongmin is still known as a sharp clue seeker and is often nicknamed "Kim Discovery".
Shin Dong—known as "Captain Shin"—is said to be a key figure in the analysis. Meanwhile, Kim Dong Hyun is projected to take on missions that require physical endurance.
Yoo Byung Jae will serve as the storyteller weaving the narrative, while Seungkwan's unique humor is expected to bring a fresh vibe to the second season of Great Escape.
The Great Escape: The Story premiered on July 23, 2025. According to Soompi, this program is a reboot of The Great Escape that relies on the members' abilities to solve puzzles and games in an escape room format.
Unlike the previous version, the reboot edition adds deeper story development and more complex stage designs. Its first season stars Kang Ho Dong, Kim Dong Hyun, Yoo Byung Jae, Go Kyung Pyo, Baekhyun, and Yeo Jin Goo.
The second season was announced in February this year. At that time, the cast composition had not been revealed, but it was confirmed that Yeo Jin Goo would not participate due to mandatory military service.
He enlisted in December 2025 and serves as a soldier in the Korean Augmentation to the United States Army (KATUSA).
