Kim Yong-man "Yoo Jae-seok's ex-girlfriend's standards were too high"
On the 2nd, the YouTube channel ‘Jodongari’ posted ‘Hey! Jae-bae~ When should we ask for a favor? Will Jaeseok listen to this request? A video titled ' was uploaded.
Yoo Jae-seok also revealed an episode where he went to Kim Yong-man's house because he had no one to turn to after a past heartbreak. At that time, Yoo Jae-seok called Kim Yong-man and said, “Brother, I broke up,” and Kim Yong-man called Yoo Jae-seok and said, “Come to my house.” However, rather than greeting Yoo Jae-seok, Kim Yong-man fell into a deep sleep, leaving only a short piece of advice: “Learn about life~ Learn about love.” In response, Yoo Jae-seok made people laugh by saying, “Did I go to hear that?” Regarding the situation at the time, Kim Yong-man said, “It was bedtime at that time, and honestly, I thought Yoo Jae-seok was going to break up with his girlfriend. Because the woman's level was too high. “Compared to Jaeseok,” he said, laughing with an honest joke.
The Jo Club members continued a conversation with Yoo Jae-seok that gave a glimpse into the depth of their friendship that has lasted for over 30 years. Yoo Jae-seok recalled the difficult times at the beginning of his debut and expressed his gratitude, saying, “Yong-man, Su-hong, Seok-jin, and Su-yong were all brothers who took great care of me mentally.”
Kim Yong-man said that Yoo Jae-seok's heyday began at the 'thump of fear' and that Yoo Jae-seok began to attract more and more attention at that time. He attracted attention by revealing that he had predicted Yoo Jae-seok's success, saying, "(Yoo Jae-seok's) momentum at that time was sky-high." Ji Seok-jin added that 'Fear Kung Kung Ta' was originally a temporary program, but it gained great popularity and led to Yoo Jae Suk's heyday.
On the other hand, Yoo Jae-seok recalled the time when he was not cast because he could not act properly on TV at the beginning of his debut. He said, “I didn’t make a big mistake… Even this small role wasn't allowed for me (I wasn't allowed), so I parked my car under the KBS main building and cried for about 20 minutes. I was so sad, (but) seeing that I appeared briefly (in a past broadcast) after some time, I realized why the director didn't cast me... “He looked at himself.
Next, Yoo Jae-seok recalled his days as ‘No. 1 in humor’. Recalling the scenes he acted with the Jo Club members at the time, he said, “The acting is so strange! You didn't know at the time. I'm also really bad at acting... At the time, the producers were like, 'Why aren't they using me like this?' (I thought) The PD really saw it properly,” he said, sharing a laugh with the members.
Kim Yong-man and Yoo Jae-seok recalled an anecdote from the time they filmed the 'Let's Read Book Book Book' program in the past, and Kim Yong-man confessed to Yoo Jae-seok the sadness he had been holding in his heart for 20 years. Kim Yong-man, who could not sleep properly due to his tight schedule at the time, went into filming with a blood vessel in his eye bursting, but continued filming without knowing this. In response, Kim Yong-man expressed his disappointment that Yoo Jae-seok knew about his conjunctivitis symptoms in advance but did not tell him, saying, "Why didn't you tell me?" In response, Yoo Jae-seok made everyone laugh by explaining that he couldn't speak because PD Kim Young-hee at the time told him, "Don't talk about it." At the same time, Yoo Jae-seok gave a big laugh by telling an episode in which PD Kim Young-hee gave Yoo Jae-seok a bigger role, saying, "The opportunity has come!" even after Kim Yong-man got angry.
Lastly, the Jo Club members, including Yoo Jae-seok, finished by sending messages of support to each other. Yongman Kim joked, saying, “Jaeseok needs to come out three times,” and Suyong Kim suggested, “If we reach 1 million subscribers, buy Jaeseok a car.” To this, Yoo Jae-seok responded, “Brother, it’s not funny,” and made everyone laugh with his signature joke.
At the same time, Yoo Jae-seok said, “I hope Soo-yi becomes a star here. He cheered for Kim Su-yong’s success, saying, “Isn’t he a rookie for 20 years now?” In response, Kim Soo-yong said to Yoo Jae-seok, “Let’s take off our top before we go!” He made another playful suggestion, saying, “Let’s increase the number of views!” and Yoo Jae-seok made everyone burst into laughter by saying, “This is why Soo-yi hyung’s comedic style doesn’t suit me.”
Lastly, Ji Seok-jin said, “Today, Jae-seok came again and gave us strength. He expressed his gratitude by saying, “Thank you, Jaeseok!” and Yongman Kim also expressed his determination, saying, “It feels good to start as a complete team, and I will work hard, hyungs!”, raising expectations for future activities.
In the 'Jodongari' trailer released at the end of the video, Song Eun-i appears as a guest and gives a big laugh by dissing Ji Seok-jin and Kim Yong-man. Song Eun-i sniped at Kim Yong-man, saying, “Honestly, I only became an MC because I liked the times. What talent does this oppa have?” Ji Seok-jin said, “It’s hard for us to make a living…” When he expressed his realistic difficulties, Song Eun-i raised curiosity by pointing out Ji Seok-jin's company change, saying, "Why did you change companies again!?"
