Yu Jae-seok's consecutive game failures and the mention of 'MC qualification controversy(?)' drew laughs.
On the Jan. 13 broadcast of the SBS entertainment show Tteumman Nammyen, Kwon Sang Woo and Moon Chae-won appeared.
2MC Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok received the '2025 SBS Entertainment Awards' Best Couple UP award, officially recognizing the distinctive chemistry of the "Yuyu couple." In particular, Yu Jae-seok also won the SBS face award.
On the broadcast, jokes about Yu Jae-seok poured out along with acceptance speeches. When Yu Jae-seok said, "I will serve as SBS's face for one year," Yoo Yeon-seok joked, "Yu Jae-seok has formalized SBS's world," and added, "At this point they should make a bust of him." Pointing to a banner of Yu Jae-seok found at the company building, he said, "The SBS face is already over there," drawing laughter.
Kwon Sang Woo, who appeared as a 'Tteum friend,' also joined the joke saying, "I also drank Yu Jae-seok's vitamin," and Yoo Yeon-seok even proposed erecting a bust at the company building, saying, "We must put up a bust at the headquarters." Yu Jae-seok waved his hands saying, "That mouth really…" but could not hide his laughter.
But the mood reversed during the game corner. Unexpected consecutive failures followed in the question where participants identified actors and their representative works from photos. The surprising stumbling block was Yu Jae-seok. He complained of "nervousness" after failing to identify even Hyunbin's and Jun Ji-hyun's representative works, answering Jun Ji-hyun's work as "Tazza" and Hyunbin's representative work as "It can't be helped," leaving everyone embarrassed.
The cast shouted, "The MC is the problem," and the game ended in failure without passing even level one from the new year. Leaving in a solemn mood, Yu Jae-seok said with a sullen expression, "The game didn't go well today. I'm not in good condition."
But soon regrouping, Yu Jae-seok vowed, "Next time I'll show it properly," drawing laughs. It was a moment that revealed a human, flawed side different from the moniker "SBS face."
