Comedian Yoo Jae-suk confessed that he felt a sense of crisis over the popularity of Netflix's 'K-Pop Demon Hunters.'
On the 19th, SBS's 'When We Have a Chance,' featured guests Cha Tae-hyun and Jang Hyuk.
On that day, Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Cha Tae-hyun, and Jang Hyuk headed to a recommended Chinese restaurant after meeting the first 'gap' owner. They were seated with a warm welcome and ordered dishes like stir-fried eggplant, tomato scrambled eggs, and fried noodles.
After failing to give a gift to the first 'gap' owner due to a game loss, they resolved to do better next time, saying, "Let's do well in the next gap," and "We need to reflect." In particular, Jang Hyuk expressed his disappointment, saying, "Didn’t I see the face of the gap owner who is getting married? I can’t forget it."
Yoo Yeon-seok told Jang Hyuk, who was the main reason for the failure, "I don't think you're good at games." When Jang Hyuk replied, "I like being honest," Yoo Jae-suk was taken aback, saying, "Are we immoral then?"
At that moment, the food was served. After putting the tomato scrambled eggs on rice, Yoo Jae-suk exclaimed, "It's so delicious." He continued, "When we used to watch Hong Kong movies, didn’t we wonder what the food they were eating tasted like? Now, since our country's content is consumed globally, it seems like Korean food is naturally following suit." Yoo Yeon-seok agreed, saying, "I heard that people line up to eat at Korean restaurants."
Cha Tae-hyun remarked, "These days, it seems crazy in a good way. Just look at the success of Netflix's 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,'" expressing his admiration. Jang Hyuk also expressed surprise, saying, "Aren't all the OSTs on the Billboard charts?"
Yoo Jae-suk shared, "My daughter is 8 years old now and really wanted to watch 'K-Pop Demon Hunters.' One day, while watching the trailer with her, I thought the concept was really fresh."
He added, "While I think that kind of success is truly amazing, on the other hand, I thought, 'What are we going to do now?'"
Cha Tae-hyun also empathized, saying, "When I talk to my daughter, I feel like I'm thinking about how to survive in the competition, while my daughter, who is interested in this field, thinks about how many more opportunities there are. It's funny."
