In 'What Do You Do When You Play?' Lee Jeok shared the story of being tricked by Yoo Jae-seok into appearing on 'Not. A. Celebrity.'
The episode of the MBC entertainment program 'What Do You Do When You Play?' that aired on the afternoon of 6th continued with the '80s Seoul Music Festival' episode. Yoo Jae-seok and Joo Woo-jae went to a meeting with the participants for song selection.
The first person to arrive was singer Lee Jeok. Yoo Jae-seok warmly greeted Lee Jeok while asking, 'Did you say recently that it seems like being a celebrity is not my job?' Lee Jeok nodded in agreement while dissing Yoo Jae-seok, saying, 'You're not a celebrity either. Your personality is like that, and your face too...' which made everyone laugh.
Then Lee Jeok said, 'The most embarrassing moment for me was when I went to a place and those people saw a celebrity for the first time, and it was me,' and trailing off, he added, 'I watched 'K-pop Demon Hunters'...'
Lee Jeok continued, 'A long time ago, there was a thing called the Paris Syndrome among Japanese people. They dream of Paris, but when they actually go, there are rats in the subway, it smells bad, and people are unfriendly, so you think, 'What have I been thinking all my life?' and you just lie down.' Yoo Jae-seok responded with, 'Stop sharing that episode,' playfully discouraging Lee Jeok.
Lee Jeok also revealed about advising his junior Choi Yu-ri on entertainment, saying, 'If you go out, Myung-soo will not let you be. So don't be flustered.' He recalled that when Hyuk-oh appeared previously, Myung-soo had said, 'Go wash your face.' That came to mind.
Lee Jeok candidly stated, 'These days, I sigh in relief, thinking it's fortunate that I was called here instead of being called by 'In. Sa. Mo.' I think about it even in my sleep. I did 'Not. A. Celebrity.' too. If they told me to do 'In. Sa. Mo.,' it would mean to retire. I was also tricked back then.' Yoo Jae-seok interrupted Lee Jeok's story, showcasing their 'true friendship chemistry.'
