The personality of 'How Do You Play?' national MC Yoo Jae-suk has been exposed.
On the afternoon of 16th, the MBC entertainment program 'How Do You Play?' featured a special on 'famous but unpopular celebrities,' selected by Ha Ha. Yoo Jae-suk and Ha Ha went out to personally invite participants.
Yoo Jae-suk visited the group Epik High member Tukutz, who was on the list. Tukutz gained significant attention when Yoo Jae-suk mentioned him as 'a talent overlooked by the entertainment industry.' Yoo Jae-suk said to Tukutz, 'I personally believe that Tukutz has the ability to sing and rap a bit.'
Tukutz explained, 'Actually, I do my best during tours. I'm going on an Asian tour soon.' Yoo Jae-suk was taken aback by Tukutz's statement, saying, 'An Asian tour? Really?' Tukutz expressed his disappointment towards Yoo Jae-suk, saying, 'Why are you surprised? Can't we do it? Everyone else is doing it, why can't we?'
Ha Ha also teased Tukutz about the Asian tour, saying, 'Really? Are you going too?' To this, Tukutz replied, 'I will go then. I'll do the performance with a drone, we'll have a Zoom meeting?' He was enraged. Yoo Jae-suk calmed the situation, saying, 'Right now, Epik High does enough of that; I was only thinking about Tukutz.'
Yoo Jae-suk also mentioned Tukutz's staff regarding the number of people he brings along, saying, 'But you seem to have more people with you than I expected. I was surprised. There were four people accompanying Tukutz.' Tukutz explained, 'It's a broadcast company. There's a hairstylist, one younger brother who is a manager, a friend who does makeup, and an assistant for the makeup friend.'
Yoo Jae-suk sincerely wondered, 'But can you handle all of that?' to which Tukutz excitedly responded, 'Wow, this is really something. This is the reality of the national MC.' Yoo Jae-suk reassured Tukutz, saying, 'It's just that I haven't seen you in a long time. I was just talking.'
Later, Yoo Jae-suk and Ha Ha revealed the real reason for inviting Tukutz. Yoo Jae-suk explained, 'Ha Ha said he feels like he's famous but not popular. He did a music show, and about eleven fans showed up.'
Tukutz remarked, 'Isn't eleven a lot?' and Ha Ha agreed, saying, 'I was really grateful. I was truly thankful. It made me tear up.' Later, Yoo Jae-suk consoled Tukutz, saying, 'That was really a lot. Not many people have that kind of fandom. You really should be thankful.'
Ha Ha responded in disbelief, saying, 'Is that comfort?' Tukutz added, 'From what I see, this hyung is really something. This is the reality of the national MC.' Yoo Jae-suk tried to calm the situation, saying, 'That doesn't mean I might not have that kind of fandom.' Tukutz shot back, 'Hyung, you have fifty million fans,' and joked, 'Why are you talking with your eyes so wide?' to which Yoo Jae-suk replied, 'It's because you're being annoying.'
