Actor Yoo Yeon-seok sparked attention by mentioning his father, who was an engineering professor.
On the 6th, a new video titled "Chuseok 뒤집개 is an excuse" was released on the YouTube channel "TteunTteun." The video featured Cha Tae-hyun and Yoo Yeon-seok talking.
That day Yoo Yeon-seok, looking at the sikhye featured as a PPL (product placement), said, "I really like sikhye. My fan club's name is also Sikhye."
Yoo Yeon-seok said, "At home we even gave nicknames. In the movie 'Dances with Wolves' there's a thing where they give an Indian-style name. After seeing that, my family thought it was funny and gave each other names."
He went on to say, "My mother goes to bed early and suddenly wakes up to have a light meal at 10 or 11 p.m. So she was 'the one who eats at night,' and my father liked to have a drink, so he was 'the professor who drinks soju.'"
In response, Yoo Jae-suk added, "Your father really is a professor," and Yoo Yeon-seok laughed as he said, "My older brother broke his leg at the time, so he was 'stand up on crutches,' and because I liked sikhye I was 'sikhye eat and fall over.'"
Yoo Yeon-seok mentioned his father's occupation last May on the variety show "Whenever There's a Chance." At the time he referred to his sibling relationship, saying, "I fought a lot with my older brother too. My brother is now a math instructor, and my father was an engineering professor. My brother isn't a top instructor; he's probably around third-tier," he said dryly, drawing laughter.
Yoo Yeon-seok also revealed that his mother is a painter who paints with oil and said, "That doesn't mean I'm good at painting," and Yoo Jae-suk said, "He does have an artistic sensibility," acknowledging that he inherited DNA from his mother.
Revealing his elite family background, Yoo Yeon-seok lived in the provinces before transferring in high school to Gyeonggi High School, part of the Gangnam eight-school district.
On the subject, Yoo Yeon-seok said in an interview, "Because my father had to be in the provinces we lived between two homes. When I was in the provinces I didn't feel uncomfortable, but after coming to Seoul I felt the difference. I suddenly transferred to the Gangnam eight-school district, and the way the kids dressed and carried themselves was different."
Meanwhile, Yoo Yeon-seok decided to appear in the next SBS drama "God and the law office" and is currently filming. He is also considering appearing in the MBC drama "Liar".<
