Korean entertainer Yoo Jae-suk has revealed why he declined production funding for an overseas shoot.

On the 17th, the 'Ddeun Ddeun' channel released a video titled "The Pre-Meeting for Pung Hyang High School 2 is Just an Excuse."

In the video, Yoo Jae-suk, along with Lee Sung-min, Ji Suk-jin, and Yang Se-chan, discussed an overseas shoot and checked the price of business class tickets, which amounted to approximately 6.3 million won per person.

Surprised by the high cost, Ji Suk-jin asked, "Are we paying for the flight? Pung Hyang High School 1 did well," to which Yoo Jae-suk responded with a smile, "Since we have to shoot as soon as we land, let's invest in round-trip business class. It's something each of us can afford."

The production team mentioned that production funding, including airline sponsorships, was possible, but Lee Sung-min agreed with Yoo, saying, "Let's not do that. We can all handle it." Yoo Jae-suk added, "It's more comfortable to go with our own money. Using production funds makes it a bit awkward for us."

Concerned about Ji Suk-jin, Yoo Jae-suk suggested, "You can split the cost with the production team," but Ji Suk-jin eventually agreed, "Let's each cover our own expenses." The members also decided to cover their own travel expenses, drawing attention.
