The popular leader of SS501 and part-time actor Kim Hyun Joong has declined an offer to join Family Outing Season 2 according to Asia Economic Daily.

Asia Economic Daily recently conducted a phone interview with Kim Hyun Joong’s management company DSP Entertainment. DSP stated that Kim Hyun Joong was offered a position in the show but he had to decline due to scheduling conflicts and other issues.

If you can recall, Kim Hyun Joong starred on an episode of Family Outing back in September. That particular episode drew much interest and high ratings, so it’s a shame that he couldn’t join the cast for Season 2.

Family Outing has recently garnered much interest with rumors of 2PM’s Taecyeon and SNSD / Girls’ Generation member Yoona joining the cast for Season 2. Hopefully Season 2 can be as awesome as the original, thanks to mikey for the tip.
