20210516 Yoo Jae Suk
Sunday, 16 May
#Today I wanna write about Korean Comedian and host, Yoo Jae Suk who won the Daesang Award in the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards 2021.
Yoo Jae-suk (Korean: 유재석; Korean pronunciation: [jud͡ʑεsʌk̚] or [ju] [t͡ɕεsʌk̚]; born on 14 August 1972) is a South Korean comedian, host, and television personality currently signed to FNC Entertainment. He has hosted several variety television shows in South Korea, including Infinite Challenge, Running Man, Happy Together, and Hangout With Yoo. Known for his quick wit and appeal across a wide range of demographics, Yoo has established himself as one of South Korea's top comedians and TV personalities, arguably the most well-known and popular celebrity in South Korea. He is also a member of SSAK3.
Born on 14 August 1972 in Seoul, Yoo is the eldest of three siblings. In 1991, he completed his high school education and graduated from Yongmoon High School in Seoul. In the same year, Yoo entered the acting department of Seoul Institute of the Arts.
Yoo's television debut was on the KBS Comedian Festival (for college students) in 1991, where he performed a parody of a commercial with Choi Seung-gyung. He's dancing to a cover of the song "Step by Step" by New Kids on the Block was another early memorable moment. In 2002, after nine years as a relatively unknown comedian, thanks to a recommendation by Choi Jin-Sil, he hosted the program Live and Enjoy Together. He then rose to prominence when he co-hosted a program called The Crash of MCs with Kang Ho-dong, Lee Hwi-Jae, and Kim Han-Seok.
His first Grand Prize award was for the talk show Happy Together Friends.
grew to be one of the most popular and highest-rated shows in South Korea. During that time, Yoo became increasingly popular and many programs began to nickname him "the nation's MC". He went on to host various shows, including New X-Man, Old TV, and Haja! Go! (Let's Do It) for SBS, but these were all soon canceled due to low ratings on Sunday evenings. However, X-Man has found success in international syndication, and Yoo gained popularity among Korean wave fans.
Yoo was a part of the cast of the top-rated comedy-variety program Infinite Challenge. He had been the host-in-chief since 2005 and was one of the program's founding members.
Despite low ratings during its premiere, the show went on to become one of the most popular and influential variety programs in Korea. Dubbed the "national variety show" in Korea, Infinite Challenge became the forerunner of many programs that used a similar format. Since 2 December 2006, the program has received the highest ratings of prime-time lineups for Saturday evening.
Yoo revealed his love for the program during the 1-on-1 talk with fellow co-host, Jeong Hyeong-don, on a "Pause" special (S04E300) that aired on 20 October 2012. He said, "I think my life on television and variety shows will be tied to the fate of Infinite Challenge... When will we ever get to do another program like this? No matter how hard you try, it's going to be impossible to do another show like this."
Yoo also co-hosts Come to Play with Kim Won-hee and Happy Together Season 3. In particular, Happy Together is one of the longest-running talk shows in Korea and has consistently earned high ratings.
Yoo became the main host of Family Outing as part of SBS's Good Sunday lineup. Together with Lee Hyori, Yoon Jong-shin, Kim Su-ro, Lee Chun-hee, Kang Dae-sung, Park Ye-jin, and Kim Jong-kook (since episode 19), they made up the "family" (cast members) of the show. Family Outing became one of the top-rated shows in Korea, consistently achieving the highest ratings for the Sunday mid-afternoon time slot, and it gained popularity among Hallyu fans.
Since 11 July 2010, Yoo has hosted the urban action variety Running Man together with fellow Infinite Challenge member Haha, fellow Family Outing member Kim Jong-kook, other entertainers such as Ji Suk-jin, Leessang's Gary (who left since episode 324 to focus on his music career), Song Ji-Hyo, Lee Kwang-soo, Song Joong-ki (who left since episode 41 to focus on his acting career), Lizzy of After School (who left for unknown reasons), Jeon So-min and Yang Se-chan (both joined since episode 346). Although the program did not have a good start in ratings, it later became very popular and has held a consistent international fanbase to this day.
After the end of Infinite Challenge, Yoo's biggest show, in March 2018, articles were being written about how Yoo was in a crisis and past his prime. Though with himself still topping popularity charts, new shows of his such as Laborhood on Hire and You Quiz on the Block while finding moderate success and having favorable reviews, were not able to fill the shoes of Infinite Challenge.
Hangout with Yoo was the eagerly anticipated new project with the partnership of the power duo from Infinite Challenge. The main driving forces for the success of ‘Infinite Challenge’ are main program directors Kim Tae-ho and Yoo, as the main host. Unfortunately, initial reactions to the show were not ideal and ratings were plummeting, leaving many ‘Infinite Challenge’ fans disappointed.
After the disappointing start a few episodes in, the show began working on a new project. The project was to have Yoo learn to play a simple beat on a drum set. The recorded sample was then passed down from musician to musician in which each musician would add their own accompaniment, and ultimately end up with a complete song. With the start of this project, ratings and reviews for the show were picking up.
With the show slowly picking up in popularity, the media labeled the show as Yoo's 2nd heyday with Yoo's debut as a rookie trot singer, Yoo San-seul for another of the show's projects. Yoo released a three-track trot album, Bbong For Yoo.
From 2015 to 2016, Yoo hosted the program Two Yoo Project Sugar Man together with Yoo Hee-yeol. The program focuses on current popular artists remaking hit songs from singers who have disappeared from the public eye. The show returned for a second season in 2018 with Yoo co-hosting alongside Yoo Hee-yeol, Joy (Red Velvet), and Park Na-Rae. The show then returned for a third season in late 2019 with Yoo co-hosting alongside You Hee-yeol, Kim Eana, and Heize.
Yoo hosted both seasons of Netflix's variety show, Busted!, which aired in 2018 until 2021.
In 2012, Yoo appeared in the music video for Psy's hit single "Gangnam Style". In the video, he reprises the retro disco dancing character he created for the mock-band "Sagging Snail" in Infinite Challenge's West Coast Highway Music Festival special, in which Psy also appeared. Following his appearance, Yoo became known worldwide as the "yellow suit guy". He also appeared in Psy's follow-up single, "Gentleman". In 2015, Yoo collaborated with JYP in Infinite Challenge. On 15 July 2015, Yoo signed an exclusive contract with FNC Entertainment after having been without an agency for about five years.
In 2016, Yoo collaborated with EXO for the SM Station single "Dancing King", which was also collaboration for Infinite Challenge. He performed with them at EXO's EXO Planet #3 - EXO'rDIUM concert in Bangkok.
In 2020, through Hangout With Yoo, Yoo collaborated with Lee Hyo-ri and Rain to form the summer project co-ed trio SSAK3. Two original songs, "Beach Again" and "Play That Summer", and one cover song, "In Summer", were released. Soon after the end of SSAK3, Yoo collaborated with Lee Hyo-ri together with Kim Jong-min and Jung Jae-Hyung on the "Refund Sisters" with Uhm Jung-Hwa, Jessi & Hwasa as a promise after reaching number 1 in the MBC Music Core show.
Yoo has been dubbed "the nation's MC" for his broad appeal and popularity with a wide demographic of viewers. He has consistently ranked as the top comedian in Korea, topping the Gallup poll in 2009, and for six consecutive years since 2012. He is one of the highest-paid television personalities in Korea, and one of the most in-demand endorsers.
Known for his exemplary image, Yoo has consistently been picked as a role model by fellow entertainers, as well as the citizens of Korea. He makes donations regularly to several causes and has participated in philanthropic acts.
Yoo is the first television host to have his wax figure, currently displayed at the Grevin Seoul Museum.
On 6 July 2008, Yoo married MBC announcer, Na Kyung-eun, who worked with him on the show Infinite Challenge. Yoo and his wife welcomed their first child, a son, Yoo Ji-ho, on 1 May 2010. Their second child, a daughter, Yoo Na-eun was born on 19 October 2018.

20210515 Yoo Jae Suk won Daesang 2021
Saturday, 15 May
#Today I read the news still about the Baeksang Arts Award 2021. Netizens criticized some actors who disrespect Yoo Jae Suk when he won Daesang Award.
Yoo Jae Suk won the grand prize in the TV category at this year's '57th Baeksang Arts Awards.'
During the ceremony, some truly congratulated Yoo Jae Suk on winning the grand prize as he has been praised for his MCing and show host skills over the years.
However, one netizen recently pointed that some actors were disrespectful to Yoo Jae Suk as they refused to stand up or even clap for him. The netizen posted a captured photo of the instance when director Lee Joon Ik won the grand prize in the film category and compared it to a photo of Yoo Jae Suk's win.
Director Lee Joon Ik winning the grand prize in Film.
Yoo Jae Suk winning the grand prize in TV.
As seen in the photos, the actors sitting in the front seats are seen all giving a standing ovation to the film director, while the opposite is true for Yoo Jae Suk. None of the actors stood up, and some weren't even clapping when Yoo Jae Suk won the grand prize. Only a few actors, such as Song Joong Ki, stood up to congratulate Yoo Jae Suk on the win.
The netizen who created the post also uploaded other netizens' reactions as they criticized the arrogance of the actors and pointed out the difference between the actors' reactions toward the grand prize winners. The netizen who wrote the post also wrote, "It's the same grand prize but the reactions are so different. Most of the actors at the award show are probably Yoo Jae Suk's juniors. They should've stood for both winners or just sat for both. I guess all the actors are suffering from actor's sickness (the tendency for actors to think they are better than entertainers such as MC's)."
Other netizens commented, "There are some actors who aren't even clapping when they stood and gave director Lee Joon Ik a standing ovation. They only look for Yoo Jae Suk when they need him to promote their movies. They don't have any respect for him and maybe they think he's lower them, they have very bad characters really." "Everyone knew that Yoo Jae Suk would get the grand prize, Baeksang is too much treating variety shows so poorly. They didn't have the variety shows during the VCR at the beginning. Yoo Jae Suk should definitely adorn the finale since Yoo Jae Suk gave much laughter during this COVID19 pandemic," "It would have been nice if the actors were happy for him together...Yoo Jae Suk is definitely a senior to all of them when it comes to his experience and age. Look at all the actors who have the actor illness and crossing their legs," and "Look at all the rookie actors who aren't even standing when the top of the top, Yoo Jae Suk, is going up the stage to get the award."

Days after the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards was successfully held in Seoul, rumors are doing rounds stating that Yoo Jae Suk was disrespected by other actors at the event. This has become a hot topic of debate on social media sites.
On social media sites, someone posted a picture and video where celebs sitting in the front seat neither gave a standing ovation nor clapped when Yoo Jae Suk won the Daesang Award. However, the same actors, in another picture, stood up to applaud when a film director received an award.
Fans claim that Song Joong ki, Lee Seunggi, Jo Seho, Kim Soyeon, Uhm Kijoon, Kim Sohyun, Na Inwoo, Moon Sori, Kim Soohyun, Kim Seonho, Kim Youngdae, Kim Hyunsoo, and Shin Hye Sun apparently gave a standing ovation to Yoo Jae Suk.
