Actor Byun Woo-seok is on a mission to catch an impersonator on the popular MBC variety show 'Hangout with Yoo'.
In the preview for the episode aired on the 4th, Byun Woo-seok made a special appearance. He joined the 'Comma, Club' as a new member. Joo Woo-jae mentioned, "There's someone who wants to join our club, and they're using the ID 'Byun Woo-seok'. Let's see who the real one is."
Upon Byun Woo-seok's arrival, 'Gangnam Station Byun Woo-seok' Jung Joon-ha expressed his surprise, saying, "This is a big deal." As the members stood up to welcome him, Byun Woo-seok approached Jung Joon-ha and remarked, "I heard you've been impersonating me," drawing attention.
Byun Woo-seok's appearance to catch the impersonator comes ahead of the premiere of MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' on the 10th. The drama, co-starring IU, is a romance set in a 21st-century constitutional monarchy in Korea.
Meanwhile, the episode also featured comedian Yang Sang-guk's moving announcement in the 'Kimhae Crown Prince's Household Setup' special. Yoo Jae-suk and Joo Woo-jae played the roles of attendants to 'One-day Crown Prince' Yang Sang-guk, while Haha and Heo Kyung-hwan took on the roles of royal dogs, providing comic relief.
Yang Sang-guk, who held the top spot in popularity until the BTS concert last week, humorously shared, "The show aired on the day of the BTS concert, and I was number one. But as soon as the concert started, I dropped immediately."
Yang Sang-guk, who once had a close relationship with soccer player Son Heung-min, revealed, "I was invited to watch a game in Germany by Leverkusen. But as Son Heung-min became a world star, he rose too high, and I fell too low, so we couldn't maintain our relationship," evoking sympathy.
While setting up his new household, Yang Sang-guk informed the production team, "I spent more money than expected. I can cover up to 20%. The rest will have to be paid by me through games." Thanks to the members' efforts, the production team covered 100% of the costs, much to Yang Sang-guk's relief.
