Yoo Jae-suk says he has a stake in the filmography of director Jang Hang-jun, the filmmaker behind multiple 10-million–ticket hits.
The SBS variety show "Whenever There's a Break," in the episode airing on the 10th, pairs MCs Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok with actors Esom, Kim Kyung-nam and Jeon Seok-ho as they bring lively, feel-good energy to the Gunja-dong neighborhood in Seoul.
In the installment, Yoo revisits his past collaboration with the much-talked-about director Jang Hang-jun. Yoo previously starred in the director’s variety spin-off drama "2016 Infinite Company: Office Worker in Crisis."
When Jeon Seok-ho — Yoo’s former co-star — appears, Yoo greets him warmly, calling Jang "the maestro in my heart" and noting their past work together. Yoo adds with evident pride, "I was the lead in Hang-jun’s project." Jeon echoes the sentiment: "That was so great," and the two settle into fond memories of "Infinite Company." Yoo then teases with mock disappointment: "After Hang-jun hit it big with 'Wang Sa-nam' (The King’s Man), he stopped mentioning 'Infinite Company' in his filmography."
On the episode, Jeon Seok-ho functions as Yoo’s dependable right-hand man. He snaps back to every cue with spot-on reactions, serving as the perfect comic foil — like a drama sidekick brought to life. Yoo reportedly marveled at Jeon’s lightning-fast timing, saying, "Seokho’s great."
"Whenever There's a Break" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
