On October 21, the YouTube channel 'DdeunDdeun' released a video titled 'The Promotion Issue is Just an Excuse.' The video featured Song Ji-hyo, Haha, Ji Suk-jin, and Ji Ye-eun.
During the video, Ji Suk-jin showcased the music video for 'Milkshake,' a song he recently released with Ji Ye-eun. While watching the music video, YouTube's autoplay function unexpectedly played a politically themed video. Haha, surprised by the video, jokingly remarked, "I discovered your true colors," causing laughter.
As the political controversy arose, Ji Suk-jin quickly clarified, "I'm neutral. I'm neutral." Yoo Jae-suk, laughing at Ji Suk-jin's flustered reaction, added, "Please don't jump to conclusions or misunderstand."
Just as the situation seemed to be settling, another political video played. To prevent further controversy, the production team muted the video and added a caption explaining, "Muted to avoid misunderstandings. The algorithm is dominated by political issues due to the election season at the time of filming."
Ultimately, Ji Suk-jin apologized, saying, "I'm sorry." Haha, continuing to tease Ji Suk-jin, asked, "What are you going to do now?" filling the studio with laughter.
