On the latest episode of MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo,' aired on the 6th, Jung Jun-ha candidly discussed his reliance on Yoo Jae-suk.
The episode revealed the second round of popularity rankings for the 'Insa Club' (a group for unpopular people).
Tukutz addressed the 'controversy' surrounding his first-place ranking from the previous week. Yoo Jae-suk and Joo Woo-jae questioned, "Wasn't Tukutz's first place due to Epik High's influence?" Tukutz humorously responded, "People DM'd me asking if I won because of Epik High's influence. But I am Epik High!"
Jung Jun-ha, wearing a flashy shirt, was teased by Haha, who joked, "Did you just come from filming 'Marrying the Mafia'?" When questioned about his luxury outfit, Jung Jun-ha explained, "I bought it with a lot of money."
Yoo Jae-suk pointed out Jung's luxury shoes, suggesting they were a gift from fans with some of his own money added. Heo Sung-tae asked, "Did you sell luxury items to buy them? I don't get it," to which Jung Jun-ha replied, "A fan gave me a voucher, and I added some money to it."
As Jung Jun-ha faced questions from all sides, Yoo Jae-suk joked, "Jung Jun-ha's talk will air for one minute," causing laughter. Jung Jun-ha expressed, "Why am I being attacked like this?"
Heo Sung-tae, while promoting a movie, clarified the 'Jung Jun-ha overcharging controversy,' stating, "The reaction was good at the time, and Jung Jun-ha responded coolly, so I thought it was fine. But people kept asking if it was okay to go to that place, so I wondered if I should have mentioned it. It was meant as a joke."
Choi Hong-man, who was shocked by his last-place ranking last week, took it seriously enough to have a meeting with his manager. When asked about his relationship with a potential romantic interest, he proudly stated, "We've gotten closer." Heo Kyung-hwan suggested, "You might end up dating," to which Choi Hong-man cautiously replied, "There are some careful considerations."
In the second round of rankings, Jung Jun-ha took first place, followed by Heo Kyung-hwan in second, and Hyun Bong-sik in third. Jung Jun-ha, who made a dramatic leap of six places, expressed his gratitude, saying, "I will continue to work hard."
Meanwhile, Yoo Jae-suk announced, "The ultimate goal of the Insa Club is to hold a group meeting, scheduled for Thursday, December 18th," raising anticipation. Jung Jun-ha strongly insisted on Yoo Jae-suk's attendance at the fan meeting, humorously admitting, "Relying on Jae-suk is a blow to my pride and wrong, but you need to be there. Show something in the middle of the stage."
