Yoo Jae-seok expressed his anger at fake news.
Yoo Jae-seok appeared as a guest on the podcast 'Song Eun-i & Kim Sook's Secrecy', which was released on the 22nd.
One listener asked for advice on whether there would be a good solution, saying, ‘I have had an unfair experience when something that was not true was spread as fact.’ At the same time, Yoo Jae-seok mentioned the rumor of moving to Daechi-dong that had recently surfaced. Fake news spread that Yoo Jae-seok moved to an apartment in Daechi-dong for his son Ji-ho's education. Yoo Jae-seok also explained this rumor on MBC's 'Hangout'.
Yoo Jae-seok pointed out, "I could move to Daechi-dong. It's not wrong or strange, but the problem is that fake news that is not true becomes real." Yoo Jae-seok said, "People who maliciously create and spread rumors should be punished, but it is difficult. Since rumors often spread in spaces where the person is not revealed, it is difficult to catch the person spreading the rumor. If you catch it, the rumor has already been consumed by people. He expressed his frustration by saying, “Because it is done and done, there is no curiosity even if it is explained later.”
Yoo Jae-seok has been embroiled in rumors related to his move in the past. Yoo Jae-seok confessed his absurd experience, saying, "There was talk that he moved to Ilsan 10 years ago and Songdo two years ago. At that time, I received a sales text message and it said, 'Yoo Jae-seok is also moving in.'"
The rumor about Yoo Jae-seok's rib house was also mentioned. Song Eun-i asked, “There was a rumor that ‘a person who went to a rib restaurant in the early morning and met Yoo Jae-seok jokingly asked him to pay for the ribs, but he changed his story to avoid paying.’” Yoo Jae-seok said, "It doesn't make sense. Even if you saw me on TV, does it make sense to ask me to pay for ribs? It literally doesn't happen."
Yoo Jae-seok advised listeners, "There are bad people who keep creating rumors maliciously and attracting attention. If you have exceeded your limit to the point where you can't tolerate it, you need to find out who the person was talking about. You need to find the source of the rumor."
