Comedian Yoo Jae-suk's elementary school graduation photo unexpectedly revealed… Ji Suk-jin "We weren't daringly part of the orange tribe" laughter
Comedian Yoo Jae-suk's graduation photo was unexpectedly revealed, drawing attention. Ji Suk-jin looked back on his time with Yoo Jae-suk in Suyu-dong and showed their deep friendship.
In the KBS variety show 'Local Tour – Suyu-dong edition' aired on the 24th, Suyu-dong native Ji Suk-jin went on a local tour with his close friends Kim Soo-yong and Yang Se-chan. That day, Ji Suk-jin recalled, as a representative entertainer of Suyu-dong, "I lived in Suyu-dong until marriage. It was just one station away from Yoo Jae-suk. We used to take the bus together to go to Apgujeong." When a joke about being part of the 'orange tribe' came up, Ji Suk-jin laughed and said, "We weren't daringly part of the orange tribe. It was a time when we didn't even have a car. We just worked hard back then." He added, "At that time, Apgujeong looked trendy," evoking a page from the trends and youth of the 1990s.
That day, Ji Suk-jin also visited his childhood home and alma mater. The home he returned to after over 40 years had turned into an empty lot, and he struggled to recall memories, saying, "I don't really remember well," which added to the laughter.
The three then headed to the elementary school near Yoo Jae-suk's alma mater. As Ji Suk-jin was showing around a newly remodeled dwelling converted from an old house, he said, "This is where Jae-suk attended elementary school," and when Yang Se-chan and the production crew showed excited reactions, Ji Suk-jin joked with a tinge of jealousy, asking, "Are you deliberately linking this with Jae-suk?" which brought laughter.
Ultimately, that day's broadcast revealed Yoo Jae-suk's elementary school graduation photo from 1985, stimulating fans' memories. The connection between the old house built in 1975 and Yoo Jae-suk's school days culminated in a beautifully intertwined 'tour of consolidation' between the past and present.
In particular, Yang Se-chan noted, "These days, the MZ generation buys these old houses after remodeling them," introducing the 2025 vibe of 'newtro houses,' which highlighted the differences in taste between generations. It was an episode that conveyed a joyful blend of youth shared by Yoo Jae-suk and Ji Suk-jin, along with the new sensibilities of the MZ generation, eliciting both laughter and warm nostalgia.
