Comedian Kim Won-hoon confessed that his role model is Yoo Jae-suk.
On the broadcast of tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’ aired on the 1st, Kim Won-hoon appeared as a guest.
On that day, Kim Won-hoon said, “I have Yoo Jae-suk syndrome. My role model is Yoo Jae-suk. I want to be infected by that syndrome, but it seems like it’s not very contagious. It doesn’t work well. I want to do it, but it doesn’t seem to work when I try to force it.”
Kim Won-hoon recalled, “I first met Yoo Jae-suk at the ‘Entertainment Awards’ in 2015. I really had nothing at that time. I was only doing one corner. Still, I thought I should greet him, and he said, ‘I’m watching you well.’”
He continued, “I was a rookie and not doing an amazing corner, but it was so surprising that he remembered my name. I thought, ‘When I have juniors in the future, I should remember their names and greet them.’ So when I went to ‘Gag Concert,’ I matched their photos with their names and memorized them,” which made everyone laugh.
Additionally, Kim Won-hoon confessed, “Yoo Jae-suk even treated us to a dinner for ‘Gag Concert.’ So I thought, ‘I should absorb that image too,’ and actually treated for a ‘Gag Concert’ dinner.”
He added, “But when I tried to force it, I ended up watching my juniors eat. I was constantly anxious. After observing the situation, I couldn’t stand it and went home first. I was worried about the mid-calculation. I was anxious about whether to pack it or not,” which made everyone burst into laughter.
Besides that, Kim Won-hoon said, “I always carry about 500,000 won in cash. Then I give taxi fare or pocket money to my juniors.”
In response, Yoo Jae-suk praised him, saying, “You’re doing well. Isn’t it good to absorb the good aspects of your seniors?” He added, “I was also treated to delicious food by my seniors, but honestly, what I needed the most at that time was taxi fare. It was really hard to go home when we finished around 2-3 AM.”
