'Hangout With Yoo' Yoo Jae-seok's status as someone indispensable everywhere was proven.
On the 6th, the MBC variety show 'Hangout With Yoo' began the full-scale rank battle of the 'gathering of unpopular people' (hereafter 'Insamo). They presented an unbelievable popularity ranking last week, leaving each of them in shock and moved.
Two Cut said, "Since last week my popularity has risen. But Tablo hyung even posted it on SNS. People tell me my popularity rose because of Epik High, but I'm originally Epik High," explaining that his being first place was not solely because of Epik High. Then Kim Kwang-kyu asked, "You were Epik High?" which greatly upset Two Cut.
Jung Jun-ha proudly said, "I'm wearing the shoes the fans first gave me. They are luxury shoes." Then Yoo Jae-seok said, "The fans gave you the gift but you added your own money to buy the shoes," which offended Jung Jun-ha. Jung Jun-ha pouted, "Why say things that don't need to be said?" Joo Woo-jae asked, "Whenever Jung Jun-ha speaks, Yoo Jae-seok's warmth goes down. Why are you so harsh to Jung Jun-ha?" Haha also said, "Don't be cold to Jung Jun-ha." That much showed Yoo Jae-seok's closeness with Jung Jun-ha.
The person Yoo Jae-seok picked that day as "increasingly charming the more you see him" was Hyun Bong-sik. Yoo Jae-seok marveled, "Hyun Bong-sik has a certain charm. Even when he doesn't say anything and peels a tangerine to eat it, you can't take your eyes off him."
Hyun Bong-sik, who was munching on a tangerine, instantly drew attention. Joo Woo-jae said, "Haha Chugumi is Hyun Bong-sik," and Haha said, "Right. That's the Haha universe I want. He does nothing, yet he's popular among those around him and popular with others — that's what I want," which drew attention. In fact, Hyun Bong-sik's popularity ranking rose, proving Yoo Jae-seok's keen eye.
They gathered that day because they will hold a fan meeting on Thursday, Dec. 18. Everyone buzzed at the idea of unpopular people coming together to make fan meeting history. Choi Hong-man recalled, "I once held a fan meeting at a barbecue restaurant. When I announced I'd buy a whole cow at the barbecue restaurant, more than a thousand people really showed up," and Kim Kwang-kyu recalled, "I have some concerns. I held a fan meeting only once 20 years ago. It was at a folk tavern; people fought over the menu, who paid and who didn't, so they fought. That was awkward," each recalling sad memories.
Heo Kyung-hwan said, "I'm neurotic about fan meetings. The fan club president and vice president fought and it fell apart. I'd like it to be done precisely," urging caution.
Haha emphasized, "We can gather a thousand people. If Yoo Jae-seok is the MC, people will come anyway." Jung Jun-ha said, "It really hurts my pride, but you have to be there. I'll believe in myself, but you must be there," expressing unlimited trust in Yoo Jae-seok.
