Yoo Jun-sang, who married actress Hong Eun-hee in 2003, is set to appear on SBS's "When There's a Moment,".
On the 24th, SBS will air the variety show "When There's a Moment," (director Choi Bo-pil/writer Chae Jin-ah) featuring MCs Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok alongside actors Yoo Jun-sang and Kim Geon-woo, who bring high-energy moments to Changsin-dong.
'Changsin-dong pride' Yoo Jun-sang reels off hometown history…Does he live in Bundang?
From the opening, Yoo Jun-sang grabbed attention with a booming musical voice. As soon as he sat down, he declared, "I was born in Changsin-dong and I know all the famous people who lived here. I'm proud of Changsin-dong," then proceeded to recite the neighborhood's history in rapid succession.
Surprised by Yoo's fiery enthusiasm, Yoo Jae-suk asked, "So you still live here?" Yoo Jun-sang hesitated and then sheepishly replied, "I live in Bundang now," prompting laughter. Moments later, he recovered his footing and, without missing a beat, steered the conversation into musical territory, catching Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok off guard.
Son's discharge date fuzzy? His unexpectedly clumsy side draws laughs
Yoo's enthusiasm didn't end there. While he spoke eloquently about Changsin-dong, he showed an endearingly scatterbrained side when asked about his son's recent whereabouts. He even called his wife, Hong Eun-hee, for an SOS to confirm their son's discharge date. Yoo Jae-suk couldn't help but quip, "You can talk so confidently about Changsin-dong but not know your son's discharge date!" which sent the studio into laughter.
When Yoo confidently offered to lead a tour of Changsin-dong, he began praising every restaurant they passed as "delicious," then admitted, "Actually, I don't know any real hotspots. They all taste good," a display of baseless confidence that left the set in stitches, insiders said.
Whether the show's games will succeed amid Yoo Jun-sang's blend of passion and absent-minded charm remains to be seen. Still, anticipation is high for the full episode of "When There's a Moment," as Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Yoo Jun-sang, and Kim Geon-woo promise plenty of laughs.
Meanwhile, SBS's "When There's a Moment," airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m.
