Yoo Jae-suk Offers Support to Lee Yi-kyung Amid Personal Life Controversy on 'Hangout with Yoo'

On the recent episode of MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo' aired on the 25th, Yoo Jae-suk extended his support to Lee Yi-kyung, who has been going through a tough time due to a 'personal life controversy.'

The episode featured Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Joo Woo-jae, Lee Yi-kyung, Ha Dong-kyun, and Heo Kyung-hwan gathering for the first regular meeting of their club 'Comma, Club' to welcome the fall season.

Yoo Jae-suk expressed his appreciation for life, saying, "Life is worth living for moments like this. Life is all about moving forward," as he enjoyed the autumn air.

Haha made a statement with his 'Young Forty' all-pink fashion, while Lee Yi-kyung, who set his nickname as 'IMF,' drew attention with his introverted character, saying, "I've been feeling down since then, but I'm trying to renew and recover."

In response, Haha encouraged him, "Why are you like this, young man? Give a shout," but Lee Yi-kyung's weak "Yah~" evoked sympathy. Yoo Jae-suk comforted him, saying, "Stand tall," and emphasized, "We don't ask about personal lives," drawing attention.

Recently, Lee Yi-kyung faced a difficult time due to a 'personal life controversy' after a whistleblower, identified as A, released a DM capture containing obscene conversations, claiming it was with Lee Yi-kyung. However, it was revealed to be a fabrication using AI-generated images.

Meanwhile, actor Kim Kwang-kyu appeared as the last guest of the 'Unpopular People's Club.' Known for his role in the popular drama 'The Tyrant's Chef,' he boasted about his rising popularity, saying, "I visited a shop in Cheongdam-dong," and "Our team is going on a reward vacation to Da Nang, Vietnam."

At 59, Kim Kwang-kyu lamented at Kim Jong-min's wedding, "How long do I have to attend other people's weddings?" He revealed, "Yoo Jae-suk is supposed to host my wedding. We promised during 'Happy Together.' I mention this during blind dates, but it doesn't get much reaction." Joo Woo-jae humorously questioned, "Are you trying to woo women by saying Yoo Jae-suk will host your wedding?"

When Kim Kwang-kyu shared his plans for the officiant, Yoo Jae-suk asked, "You're talking about the wedding, but do you have a bride?" and encouraged, "It's good to get married now. That way, YoonA will come too."

In response to Kim Kwang-kyu's sudden request for a blind date, Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Is an older woman okay?" When Kim said he was open to someone up to four years older, Yoo Jae-suk joked, "So, up to 63 is fine?" Known for his baldness, Kim Kwang-kyu shared his ideal type considering future children, saying, "Even if she's not my style, if she has straight hair, I take a second look."
