Yoo Jae-suk Moved to Tears by Jung Joon-ha's Portrait Gift on 'Hangout with Yoo'

On the recent episode of MBC's variety show 'Hangout with Yoo' aired on the 27th, the fan meeting of the 'Insa Mo' (a group of unpopular people) members was unveiled.

Jung Joon-ha, emphasizing his 10-hour practice the day before the fan meeting, expressed, "My whole body hurts." When Haha teased him by saying, "No whining today," Jung Joon-ha jokingly replied, "You need a good smack," showcasing their playful camaraderie.

Reuniting after 'Infinite Challenge,' Jung Joon-ha and Haha shared their unique feelings. Haha mentioned, "I can't do as I please outside, but it's nice to be on a show together again and do whatever we want."

Jung Joon-ha grumbled, "You're the only one who treats me like this," and confessed, "There's no one like you outside. I miss someone who can banter with me."

Haha, revealing their strong friendship, said, "I can't do it with others because they might get hurt, but we've been through everything together." He added, "Did you see how excited Jae-suk gets when we bicker? It's a shame today is the last day."

The seating arrangement at the fan meeting was based on the results of the 4th popularity vote, with Heo Sung-tae's fans taking the center seats. Yoo Jae-suk explained, "We invited 300 people. The empty seats are for filming purposes."

Jung Joon-ha, who was booed by the members for inviting dancer Jay Black as a guest, performed MC Hammer's '2 Legit 2 Quit.' He humorously narrated, "Jae-suk, isn't it great that I'm on 'Hangout with Yoo' these days? We've known each other for 30 years. I don't need popularity, so call me if you need me for ratings."

After a powerful dance performance, Jung Joon-ha, catching his breath, began painting on a large canvas. He sincerely expressed, "It might be a bit boring, but I want to show you my true self."

MC Yoo Jae-suk, Joo Woo-jae, and the audience watched Jung Joon-ha's performance in silence. The impromptu painting turned out to be a portrait of Yoo Jae-suk. When the canvas was flipped, revealing the subject, tears were shed among the audience, and the heartfelt performance received applause.

Yoo Jae-suk, at a loss for words, said, "I knew you were good with your hands," while Jung Joon-ha explained, "It's for my over 30-year friendship with Jae-suk." Yoo Jae-suk described Jung Joon-ha as "a reliable and humorous brother and colleague," adding, "It's truly touching. I should take a photo of it. I'm grateful for the portrait, but the performance itself was moving."

Jung Joon-ha revealed that the portrait performance was "a secret weapon I've kept for a long time." The two, with their "30-year bond," expressed their affection, saying, "We've had our disagreements, but our relationship has only grown stronger."

Meanwhile, Choi Hong-man performed H.O.T.'s 'Candy,' Kim Kwang-kyu sang Sung Si-kyung's 'Every Moment of You' live, and Heo Sung-tae surprised everyone with dance performances of GD's 'Too Bad' and Hyun Jin-young's 'In My Faded Memory,' recommended by Yoo Jae-suk.
