"Because we're human, we sulk sometimes, but maybe that's why it's lasted until now." 'Hangout With Yoo' moved viewers with the steadfast 30-year friendship between broadcaster Yu Jae-seok and Jung jun-ha.
On the 27th, the MBC variety program Hangout With Yoo (abbreviated as '놀뭐') aired the final event of the 'Insamo (association of unpopular people)' project, the long-awaited 'Insamo' fan meeting.
During the event, Jung jun-ha performed a variety of acts. His first stage was a dance to MC Hammer's '2 Legit 2 Quit,' with choreographer J Black even brought in. Even at the height of his popularity, Jung jun-ha's character 'Jeongjoo-na hyung' was woven into the beat and lyrics, adding laughter.
But the highlight was the second performance. After J Black briefly performed only the choreography and left the stage, Jung jun-ha suddenly began to draw. Even Yu Jae-seok was taken aback, saying, "J Black's going in already? This short?"
What Jung jun-ha drew was a charcoal croquis. The mysterious drawing silenced the audience. During roughly 10 minutes, Joo Woo-jae said, "I saw something like this on 'America's Got Talent,'" adding to the laughs. The more that happened, the more Jung jun-ha said, "It may take some time. But I want to show you my real self," drawing with sweat and heavy breathing.
When the finished drawing was revealed, the audience gasped. It was a portrait of Yu Jae-seok's face. Jung jun-ha surprised everyone by completing it quickly using a drawing technique that rendered it upside down. The audience erupted in cheers and applause. A fan even began to cry.
Even Yu Jae-seok, saying, "This, wow," was at a loss for words. Competing Insamo members in the waiting room also applauded in emotion. Ha-ha, who was preparing for the slot right after Jung jun-ha, said, "Before going on I thought, 'All right, let's do it,' but because it ended with such a touching performance I almost cried backstage," choking up.
Unable to take his eyes off the drawing, Jung jun-ha explained, "For Jae-seok, for our friendship of more than 30 years," giving his reason. Yu Jae-seok, moved, said, "I'm touched," and, "As you said, hyung, Jun-ha hyung and I have a 30-year friendship. He's always been reliable to me and brings me great laughter. I should take a picture of this," showing emotion. Yu Jae-seok emphasized, "Putting everything else aside, it's moving that he drew me, but I'm even more grateful that Jun-ha hyung prepared such a performance."
In a following interview, Jung jun-ha, embarrassed, said, "I look like a mess because of the charcoal," and added, "I've been saving this to use someday," expressing pride in his charcoal croquis skill. Yu Jae-seok said, "Our bond of 30 years has continued until now. Jun-ha hyung is human, so he sulks at me, and I'm human, so I sulk at him. But we've continued through many ups and downs," emphasizing his relationship with Jung jun-ha.
In fact, Jung jun-ha and Yu Jae-seok were once caught up in rumors of a rift. Comedian Park Myung Soo said on his YouTube content that Jung jun-ha had a big fight with Yu Jae-seok during the rowing special of Infinite Challenge. Rumors spread that punches were thrown in that process. Jung jun-ha appeared on Park Myung Soo's YouTube channel and refuted the rumors, saying, "It wasn't punches; voices just got a bit raised. Do you think Jae-seok is the kind to throw punches? Who would believe that?"
Here, through Hangout With Yoo, the closeness between Jung jun-ha and Yu Jae-seok was once again revealed. The two broadcasters' 30-year friendship captured not only the Insamo fan meeting audience but also viewers, and Jung jun-ha took first place in the final Insamo vote, adding to the emotion.
