Heartwarming stories about entertainer Yoo Jae Suk are once again capturing everyone’s attention!
On the 7th, a video titled “Celebrity Heartwarming Stories with a Side of Hate” was uploaded to the channel ‘Broadcasting Guys PD2 Writer2’. In the video, industry insiders gathered to share their personal experiences with celebrities. One particular story from ‘A’, a former writer for JTBC’s ‘Sugar Man’, really stood out.
A shared that a friend’s bucket list was to meet Yoo Jae Suk in person. When A asked for a photo for their friend, who had managed to get a spot in the audience, Yoo Jae Suk readily agreed. A noted, “As soon as he realized it was my friend, he called them by name. He did that on purpose to be friendly.” A also recalled, “At the start of the program, during a team dinner, Jae Suk oppa memorized the names of every single staff member, including the youngest.” They added that he even jokingly asked staff with unique names, “Why is your name this?” A emphasized that while most MCs work with hundreds of staff across multiple shows, it was their first time seeing one who took the time to remember even the youngest staff members’ names.
The kindness doesn’t stop there! In August 2024, actor Jo Jung Suk appeared on tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’ and revealed, “After making a cameo in a movie, Yoo Jae Suk said he wouldn’t take his fee and asked that it be given to the youngest staff members instead.” He added, “The staff received it almost like a scholarship. I really wanted to share this story. I was so grateful.”
Additionally, actress Jeon So Min revealed a surprising detail on the SBS variety show ‘But Really!’ last February, sharing that when ‘The Sixth Sense’ ended, “Yoo Jae Suk oppa gave each member a luxury wallet as a gift to thank them for their hard work.”
