Comedian Yoo Byung-jae Sparks Laughs with Brutal Honesty on YouTube
South Korean comedian and writer Yoo Byung-jae has once again captivated the internet with his sharp wit and brutal honesty. On June 12, Yoo uploaded a new video to his YouTube channel titled ‘[Clean Energy] It’s Too Much, But I Totally Agree,’ featuring a segment where he unconditionally agrees with viewer confessions—no matter how outrageous.
In the video, Yoo received a phone call from a viewer who boldly confessed, “I just really like good-looking people.” Without hesitation, Yoo jumped into character, saying, “Absolutely. Honestly, being handsome is everything. Ugly people are just so irritating.” This spurred a confessional confession from the caller who added, “I get so annoyed every time I see someone unattractive while eating.”
Trying to stay in character, Yoo responded with more exaggerated humor: “Being handsome is definitely the best. Ugly people? Totally repulsive. It’s just not for me.” But the joke took a personal turn when the caller added, “I bet you’d want to be handsome in your next life too, right?” Clearly offended, Yoo abruptly ended the call, muttering, “What the… say it nicely at least. Why are you basically telling me to die and be reborn?”
The humorous yet revealing exchange resonated with viewers for its shock value and brutally relatable commentary on societal beauty standards. The skit cleverly pushes the boundaries of social discourse while blurring the line between performance and personal emotion.
Meanwhile, Yoo Byung-jae made headlines recently with rumors about his love life. Speculation started when fans noticed his social media interactions with Lee Yoo-jeong, a former cast member of Tving’s Love Catcher in Bali Season 4. Known for resembling actresses Han So-hee and Kim Tae-ri, Lee captured significant attention online. The pair followed each other on Instagram, and Yoo didn’t miss liking any of her posts.
Initially brushing off the rumors with a simple “That’s personal,” Yoo later confirmed he was in a relationship during an appearance on MBC’s Insightful Observational Point of View. Fans have since been delighted with this rare glimpse into his personal life, proving once again that Yoo Byung-jae is both unapologetically real and endlessly entertaining.
