Variety show veteran Yoo Jae-suk is set to bare it all, from his painful rookie days to outrageous physical comedy, as he reunites with his 30-year besties on the latest episode of ‘Ttimman Nameun.’
Airing February 10 on SBS, the episode features MCs Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok joined by comedy powerhouses Song Eun-yi and Kim Sook. The quartet visits Sangam-dong locals, promising a dose of feel-good entertainment.
Song Eun-yi pulls no punches, dredging up Yoo’s pre-fame days. “Jae-suk once splurged on two designer suits when he was nominated for a rookie award. Spoiler alert: he went home empty-handed,” she quips. Yoo retorts with a self-deprecating chuckle, “Those installment payments were brutal,” sending the audience into fits of laughter.
Yoo Yeon-seok proves he can hang with the comedy veterans, even calling Kim Sook “bro!” as he seamlessly integrates into their natural banter.
The crew uncovers hidden talents during a “Plastic Bottle Baseball” challenge featuring pro sports casters. Yoo Jae-suk, a former baseball club member, flaunts his wicked wrist action, earning the moniker “Ball Jae-suk.” Not to be outdone, Kim Sook’s power swing lands her the title “Joseon’s cleanup hitter,” prompting caster Jung Woo-young to exclaim, “This is Korean Series level!”
The laughs continue with a “Balloon Relay” on rolling chairs, showcasing slapstick comedy that would make the Marx Brothers proud. The height disparity between the towering 183cm Yoo Yeon-seok and the more vertically challenged Song Eun-yi and Kim Sook leads to hilarious hijinks. Watching his longtime pals in action, Yoo Jae-suk warmly predicts, “You two are destined to be those adorable old ladies who are joined at the hip.”
