Byun Woo-seok Shines in Hilarious Variety Show Debut on 'Hangout with Yoo'

Actor Byun Woo-seok delivered laughs with his comedic debut on the variety show 'Hangout with Yoo'.

The episode aired on the 11th featured the 'Comma, Club' gathering in Gangnam, with Yoo Jae-suk (Pae Organ), Haha (Old Mix), Heo Kyung-hwan (Sweat Drop), Joo Woo-jae (Lee Yoon-seok), Jung Jun-ha (Gangnam Station Byun Woo-seok), and new member Byun Woo-seok.

Byun Woo-seok made his entrance as the new member of 'Comma, Club', donning an outfit identical to Jung Jun-ha's, complete with a red beret. He introduced himself saying, "I'm 'Gangbyeon' (Gangnam Station Byun Woo-seok). I heard a fake is impersonating me, so I came."

His close friend Joo Woo-jae humorously commented, "It looks like a luxury brand when he wears it," drawing laughter by comparing him to 'Fake Byun' Jung Jun-ha. Amidst the 'fake controversy', Jung Jun-ha jokingly defended himself, saying, "I'm 'Gangnam Station Byun Jin-seop'."

Sitting next to Byun Woo-seok, Yoo Jae-suk admired his handsome face, while Joo Woo-jae remarked, "It's too much of a comparison to fit both in one frame," showing support for his friend.

Byun Woo-seok was suggested nicknames like 'Tall Guy', '63 Building', and 'Namsan Tower', but he candidly responded, "Not great," before choosing 'Byun San Tower' himself, showcasing his variety show flair.

Byun Woo-seok couldn't hide his frustration with Yoo Jae-suk's slow typing and offered, "Can I do it for you?" showing his kindness. Looking at the schedule, he expressed his excitement, "I really wanted to see the flowers."

In the 'Don't Laugh' game, where the loser pays for the café, Byun Woo-seok declared, "I've never laughed." Heo Kyung-hwan challenged him, "Should I try to make you laugh?" but soon admitted, "I think I made a mistake," showing a timid side.

Joo Woo-jae succeeded in making Byun Woo-seok laugh with his 'Unbalanced' dance, which Heo Kyung-hwan failed at. Byun Woo-seok then showcased his comedic talent by performing the 'Unbalanced' dance himself.

Meanwhile, Byun Woo-seok expressed disappointment at not being able to fully enjoy the flower viewing he anticipated. During the final private yacht party, he participated in the Son Byung-ho game, where he humorously folded his fingers at Yoo Jae-suk's prompt, "Fold if your face has deteriorated," but was denied.

Even when Yoo Jae-suk said, "Fold if you're like Yoo Jae-suk or similar," Byun Woo-seok folded his fingers but failed to escape, providing more laughs. Ultimately, he managed to escape the boat first with help from Joo Woo-jae's "Fold if you're over 188cm tall" and Jung Jun-ha's "Fold if you're wearing a red hat."
