Yoo Jae-suk Faces Legal Notice on 'Hangout with Yoo'

Yoo Jae-suk, the host of MBC's 'Hangout with Yoo,' has received a legal notice.

On the October 21st episode of 'Hangout with Yoo,' Yoo Jae-suk, the club manager of 'Pause Club,' invited members Haha, Joo Woo-jae, Heo Kyung-hwan, Jung Jun-ha, and Park Myung-soo to his home.

Yoo Jae-suk organized this gathering to mend fences with the club members after a previous incident involving membership fees.

Park Myung-soo, the first to arrive, expressed interest in Yoo's home, to which Yoo boasted about its prime location slated for redevelopment.

However, Park Myung-soo complained about the cold temperature, jokingly asking if the air conditioning was on, as it felt like 9 degrees Celsius. Yoo, who was warming himself by a heater, humorously claimed, "I turned off the heating. Saving is living well."

Upon seeing a family photo, Joo Woo-jae remarked that Yoo's son resembled his mother, while Park Myung-soo teased, "Your family isn't very good-looking," prompting Yoo to retort, "What about yours?"

As Yoo attempted to close the chapter on the embezzlement issue, Joo Woo-jae revealed he had sent a legal notice, producing the document. In response, Yoo playfully slapped Joo, leading to a mock accusation of "special assault."

Joo Woo-jae had sent the notice over Yoo's alleged embezzlement of 7,000 won and Jung Jun-ha's intentional non-payment of 50,000 won. As the two were labeled a "duo of embezzlers," Yoo protested, "Don't call me a duo. I'm different from petty criminals," attempting to distance himself.

Yoo reassured Jung Jun-ha, saying, "It's not a lawsuit yet. Don't worry," while the members teased Yoo about his apparent familiarity with such situations.

Regarding the embezzlement allegations, Yoo explained it was a "calculation error," while Jung Jun-ha also claimed it was a mistake. Haha, however, insisted on punishment, quipping, "Everyone in jail says they're innocent."

Ultimately, Yoo and Jung Jun-ha apologized to the members, receiving one and four playful slaps, respectively, as a gesture of forgiveness.
