Family Outing Season 2 (Korean: 패밀리가 떴다2;RR: Paemilli-ga Tteotda2;lit. Family's Here 2) is a South Koreanvariety show; a part ofSBS'sGood Sunday lineup, along withGold Miss is Coming (골드미스가 간다). It was first aired on February 21, 2010, following the end of the first season. In early episodes, a "Family Leader"[nb 1] is chosen and acts as the main host of that outing.[1] That role has been abolished. The "Family" travels to rural parts of South Korea and helps out in the village they are staying in.[2] The shows predecessor,Family Outing Season 1, featured a similar format, but ended because of the main host leaving and ratings dropping.[3] This season differs from its predecessor with more focus on reality and the family aspect, and less on chores and games. This season ended on July 11, 2010 due to low ratings and was replaced withRunning Man.[4]
This show is filmed over two days and one night, airing over two episodes. Episodes vary and do not always follow the same format.
The "Family Leader", who makes all decisions for the Family for that episode, is chosen through a vote. The family then heads to their destination. Candid interviews of the members air throughout the episode, discussing their feelings of something that just aired. The "Family Leader" also begins to make every decision deciding the Family's fate. The Family arrives at their house(s) and begins that day's agenda. A challenge is presented for the Family Leader as to whether they live in a nice house or the house that is falling apart. They settle into their new home and then take part in outdoor activities and games. There is no official main host, Kim Won-hee acts as a moderator during games. The Family then returns inside to prepare dinner. The Family Leader will need to go through a challenge and if he/she succeeds, he/she will have the better dinner available. If he/she fails, the family will eat the unfilling dinner. Late into the night, the Family prepares for bed. The next morning, the "Wake-Up Mission" takes place. Easier tasks are given to those who come out earliest and ascend to harder tasks for those who come out last. The Family is then waken up by loud techno music and flashing lights. The music continues playing as they participate in a morning exercise, followed by the "Wake-Up Mission". The mission involves finding food for breakfast and then preparing it afterwards. After breakfast, the Family completes a favor asked by the village headman. A preview of next week's episode is shown at the end of the each episode.
The members of the second "Family" areKim Won-hee,Yoon Sang-hyun,Shin Bong-sun,Ji Sang-ryeol,Yoona ofGirls' Generation,Jo Kwon of2AM,Taecyeon of2PM andKim Hee-chul ofSuper Junior.[5][6]Jang Dong-min was added along with Kim Hee-chul during a recording on May 18, 2010. Kim Hee-chul is the eighth member of the Family,[7] and Jang Dong-min is considered a fixed-guest.[8]

Season 2 received mostly negative reviews from TV critics and viewers who criticized the changes made on the format of the show, the casting choice and the fact that the show became too idol-oriented with most of the airtime and attention being given to the idol group members of the cast. Viewers also complained about Season 2 being too boring and for focusing too much on the forced love-lines between SNSD's member Yoona and 2PM's member Taecyeon. Viewers complained that the love-lines are heavily scripted and doesn't suit the 'family' concept of the show. There was much comparison between Season 1 and 2, with viewers commenting that the first season was much more humorous and natural.[12][13][14]
