Jung Jun-ha Takes a Jab at Heo Sung-tae on 'Hangout with Yoo'

On the latest episode of MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo,' aired on the 13th, Jung Jun-ha humorously targeted Heo Sung-tae.

The episode featured members of the 'Insa-mo' (a group for unpopular people) participating in a surprise interview. Due to scheduling conflicts, Heo Kyung-hwan and Hyun Bong-sik were absent.

Jung Jun-ha, who topped the rankings last week, enjoyed special treatment. While lower-ranked members Haha, Han Sang-jin, and Heo Sung-tae waited in the hallway without a waiting room, Jung Jun-ha relaxed in a room with four beds and snacks.

Jung Jun-ha handed out coffee to Han Sang-jin and Heo Sung-tae, remarking, "You need to work harder. Sang-jin, why are your shoes so shiny?" drawing attention.

When Heo Sung-tae was mentioned as being last, Jung Jun-ha quipped, "How did you end up like that? You were arrogant from the start. If you take advantage of others, things won't go well. You need to get the basics right. Work harder. Do you think I got here by chance?" causing laughter.

A special recruitment interview for 'Cultural Commerce' was conducted. Yoo Jae-suk explained that it was to assess the candidates' ability to handle pressure and their quick thinking.

Jung Jun-ha, who entered last, was called out for casually speaking informally to Yoo Jae-suk. He explained his motivation for applying, saying, "I want to quit the restaurant business and try working in a company. I miss my past corporate life."

Yoo Jae-suk pointed out Jung Jun-ha's mixed informal speech, asking, "Why are you mixing informal speech?" Watching Jung Jun-ha being scolded in the interview room, Haha humorously questioned, "How did he become number one?"

Jung Jun-ha highlighted his 'tremendous sociability' as his strength, confidently stating, "I can get along well with many people." Yoo Jae-suk expressed concern, "These days, friendliness can be seen as being too forward," to which Jung Jun-ha replied, "I'm not the type to be overly assertive."

After performing a balloon show two weeks ago and rising to the top, Jung Jun-ha shared, "When a mission comes, I believe in doing my best. I'm happy to be recognized with a good evaluation."

He added, "There are many who don't put in effort. Some older folks just go with the flow," taking a jab at Kim Kwang-kyu and Han Sang-jin, providing laughter.
