Yu Jae-seok, during a debate on the topic of "office romances," unabashedly brought up members' past relationships and turned the set into a sea of laughter.
On the 26th broadcast of SBS variety show Running Man, a "overly immersed debate battle" was held on the eternal workplace dilemma "Is it okay to have an office romance vs. you shouldn't have one." The members embarked on a mission in which they had to keep the assigned position to the end regardless of their actual thoughts.
Yu Jae-seok, who belonged to the "pro-office romance" team, from the start turned to Yang Se-chan and opened with "You had an office romance," then surprised everyone by asking "Didn't you meet an idol?" Yang Se-chan, taken aback by the unexpected attack, jumped up from his seat and retorted, "Wait. Didn't everyone have office romances?" and Haha, without hesitation, answered "I did," further heating up the atmosphere.
As the members' exchanges continued, Yu Jae-seok seemed to be wrapping up the situation by saying "Oh, sorry," but the debate grew even hotter. Song Ji-hyo, who was on the opposing team, argued, "If you have an office romance, work efficiency drops when you break up," and Yu Jae-seok pursued his logic to the end, asking, "Why do you think work efficiency would drop?" In particular, Yu Jae-seok drew attention by shouting "It can!" and emphasizing, "I am a case that bore fruit (with my wife Na Kyung-eun)."
In fact, Yu Jae-seok met Na Kyung-eun, who was an MBC announcer, through shows such as Infinite Challenge, and after a long relationship they tied the knot. As a representative "successful office romance" case in the entertainment industry, he amusingly wove his experience into the debate and added laughter.
Viewers who watched the broadcast responded, "Yu Jae-seok was the most thrilled," "It's a debate about office romances but all past relationships were summoned," "Yu Jae-seok really has something to say as a successful case," and "The members' back-and-forth is indeed Running Man."
