Comedian Yang Sang-guk appeared on "Pinggego," and the way he addressed and spoke about Yu Jae-seok is causing controversy.
On the 2nd, the YouTube channel "DdeunDdeun" released "The ambassador is Pinggego," which showed Yu Jae-seok, Han Sang-jin, Nam Chang Hee, and Yang Sang-guk appearing and talking.
What became a hot topic in the video was Yang Sang-guk's views on dating. To Nam Chang Hee, who said he prepares breakfast and sees his wife off when she goes to work, Yang Sang-guk said, "From my perspective that's really dangerous. Dating is similar," and said, "My principle is I won't do something unless I'm going to do it for life."
Despite advice from Yu Jae-seok, Han Sang-jin, and Nam Chang Hee, Yang Sang-guk stuck to his stoic views on dating, and when Yu Jae-seok persuaded him, "If you've dated like that until now, isn't it good to sometimes bring your girlfriend home, even if not every day? If you love her, don't you want to spend more time together?" Yang Sang-guk did not change his view, saying, "I usually listen to senior Yu Jae-seok, but I don't think that's right. The girlfriend I'm meeting this time doesn't have the idea of bringing her home and coming back. They're not at an age to be dating like kids."
In the process, Yang Sang-guk addressed Yu Jae-seok not with titles like "senior" but as "Mr. Yu Jae-seok," and when Yu Jae-seok tried to package and persuade him, he said, "If you say that one more time, I'll scold you." At Yang Sang-guk's demeanor, Han Sang-jin let out a short sigh and said, "Keeping a regular spot won't be easy."
After the video was released, criticism has continued that Yang Sang-guk was rude to Yu Jae-seok. Yu Jae-seok is both a senior in life and a senior comedian by age and cohort, so some say it's crossing a line for the much younger junior Yang Sang-guk to say "Mr. Yu Jae-seok" and "If you say that one more time, I'll scold you." They reacted, "It's not a skit corner; it's uncomfortable to see that on a talk show," "He crossed the line," "He seems to have misread what people want," "I wondered why he was acting like that while watching," "This is the first time I've found him so unlikeable on 'Pinggego'," "I was puzzled to hear that he'd scold someone," and "He kicked away his luck."
On the other hand, some say these objections are nitpicking. They say being called OO is not a big problem, and the problematic "I'll scold you" remark was expressed like a kind of role play rather than shouting or a high-handed attitude, so it's just a comedic device and not a problem. They reacted, "During the broadcast the form of address as OO was correct," "They're nitpicking for no reason," "There was nothing wrong with Yang Sang-guk's attitude," and "If anything was a problem, it was that his views on dating were too extreme."
Yang Sang-guk, who gained attention appearing on Haha's YouTube channel and appeared on "Hangout With Yoo" and "You Quiz on the Block," has emerged as a trend. Having seized an opportunity that suddenly came, it is noteworthy which path Yang Sang-guk will choose amid mixed reactions to continue the trend.
