Comedian Yoo Byung-jae Confirms Relationship Amid Speculations

Comedian Yoo Byung-jae has confirmed that he is in a relationship.

On the November 30th episode of MBC's variety show 'The Manager', Yoo Byung-jae made an appearance.

Host Jun Hyun-moo teased, "There's someone who's been quite the hot topic lately," alluding to the recent dating rumors surrounding Yoo Byung-jae. He jokingly mentioned, "Yoo Byung-jae and a beautiful..." before shifting the conversation to actor Byun Woo-seok's birthday party, poking fun at Yoo.

Comedian Hong Hyun-hee inquired, "Did she attend the birthday party too? I'm curious why you suddenly treated everyone to burgers and fries. Is there a big happiness in your life?" Yang Se-chan chimed in, "The shake was sweet," adding to the humor.

Feeling the pressure, Yoo Byung-jae admitted, "Yes, yes, well," confirming the dating rumors. Jun Hyun-moo added, "People around me are asking if it's some kind of content."

It's not content; it just happened."

When asked how they met, Yoo Byung-jae shared, "We met naturally through mutual friends." Hong Hyun-hee exclaimed, "Oh, a natural encounter!"
