Yoo Jae-suk Bows Down in 'Hangout with Yoo' as Payment Games Escalate

Yoo Jae-suk finds himself bowing down in the latest episode of MBC's variety show 'Hangout with Yoo'.

On the October 28th episode, titled 'War Against Crime: The Era of Country Folks', Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Heo Kyung-hwan, Joo Woo-jae, and Yang Sang-guk engaged in a series of payment challenges.

Yang Sang-guk caught attention by revealing, "I live in an 18th-floor apartment in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam." When Yoo Jae-suk suggested splitting the bill at a café, Yang Sang-guk expressed his discontent, saying, "People from the countryside treat Seoul visitors generously. Are you broke?"

Quick-witted Haha thanked Yoo Jae-suk for the meal, leaving him to pay 26,000 won with his personal card.

The payment game continued after lunch. Despite Yang Sang-guk's plea, "You earn well, senior. I have no house, family, or children," he ended up paying 168,000 won.

Feeling guilty about the guest's large payment, Yoo Jae-suk apologized. Yang Sang-guk vented, "Seoul people are tough. They invite you but don't treat you to a meal. This isn't right."

At a Seoul goods store, a card draw determined the payer. Yoo Jae-suk commented, "Spending boosts the economy." Yang Sang-guk, who had already spent a lot, bought 160,000 won worth of goods, but Haha ended up paying 289,000 won, much to everyone's amusement.

As the financial gap widened, Yoo Jae-suk joked at a high-end barbecue restaurant, "Leave if you can't afford it." Haha tried to push the bill onto Yoo Jae-suk again, but Yoo Jae-suk bowed deeply to avoid paying.

Yang Sang-guk was shocked, "The national MC is bowing to me, a junior." After the meal, the members suspiciously moved together to the restroom, but Yoo Jae-suk, Joo Woo-jae, and Heo Kyung-hwan escaped, leaving the others in stitches.

In the end, Heo Kyung-hwan was chosen to pay 506,000 won, expressing his disbelief, "Wow, this is crazy. I never expected this."
