Jung Jun-ha Loses Popularity and Main Vocal Spot on 'Hangout with Yoo'

Jung Jun-ha has lost both his popularity and his main vocal position on 'Hangout with Yoo'.

On the October 20th episode of MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo', members of the 'Insa Mo' (a group of unpopular people) competed for the main vocal spot ahead of their fan meeting group performance.

The third ranking of the 'Insa Mo' members was announced on this day. Jung Jun-ha, who had been in first place for two consecutive weeks, was called out by Joo Woo-jae for his changed attitude, saying, "His attitude changed after he got first place." Jung Jun-ha boasted, "When I passed by, female fans cheered for me."

However, the ranking results showed Jung Jun-ha plummeting from 1st to 9th place, an 8-step drop. The glory of first place went to Epik High's Tukutz, who was absent that day. Yoo Jae-suk explained, "This means Jung Jun-ha has no fandom at all. Tukutz likely benefited from the strong Epik High fandom."

To ease the pressure, Yoo Jae-suk announced that the 'Insa Mo' fan meeting would be held on a Thursday afternoon. Haha humorously added, "That's considerate. I know someone who held their wedding on a weekday to avoid having too few guests. A Thursday afternoon fan meeting means people might not come."

The members began practicing for the fan meeting group performance, but it turned into a chaotic scene. SG Wannabe's Kim Yong-jun joined as a vocal coach and confessed, "I was a bit startled when I got the offer," bringing laughter.

Yoo Jae-suk noted, "Yong-jun has the SG Wannabe fandom," and admired Kim Yong-jun's recent weight loss after releasing new music and holding a concert in October. He joked, "You can't look like a fat mackerel at a concert."

As the competition for the main vocal spot heated up, Joo Woo-jae emphasized to Kim Kwang-kyu, "We need a young sense of rhythm." When the members reacted, Yoo Jae-suk warned, "Be careful with your word choice." Kim Kwang-kyu retorted, "You'll age too."

While Kim Yong-jun was distributing parts, Jung Jun-ha's expression hardened as his name wasn't called. Yoo Jae-suk laughed, "Jun-ha hyung is losing everything today, both popularity and the main vocal spot," while Jung Jun-ha lamented, "Am I completely out of the song?" evoking sympathy.
