Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Yi-kyung’s Hilarious Tokyo Encounter With Shim Eun-kyung on ‘Hang Out With Yoo’

On the upcoming May 24 episode of ‘Hang Out With Yoo’, a beloved variety show by MBC (Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation), fans will be treated to an unpredictable and humorous journey as Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Yi-kyung reunite with actress Shim Eun-kyung in Tokyo. The much-anticipated meetup is a follow-up to a previously promised rendezvous made during their earlier appearance on the show.

In Tokyo, the “spear and shield” chemistry between extroverted Lee Yi-kyung and introverted Shim Eun-kyung is back in full swing. Lee’s relentless and boundless attempts at conversation are met by Shim’s swift and stoic resistance—eliciting waves of laughter. Reflecting on her previous experience, Shim shared, “Last time after filming, I went home and completely passed out,” highlighting the overwhelming energy Lee brings to the table.

Lee doesn’t miss a beat, pouring more affection into the exchange by asking, “Did you miss us?” and following with a light, but hilariously mismatched question, “Do you prefer summer or fall?” to which Shim flatly replied, “Spring.” Yoo Jae-suk couldn’t help but be amused and shocked by her continued emotional fortress.

As the day continues, the trio explores Tokyo with Shim acting as the local guide. While her energy visibly fades, Lee stays tireless and upbeat, injecting relentless positivity into every interaction. Watching the dynamic unfold, Yoo Jae-suk noted, “She might pass out again when she gets home,” and jokingly added, “Her steel wall is now shutting down with shutters.”

The episode promises more than just laughs—viewers can expect genuine connection, heartwarming moments, and a glimpse into the unique personalities behind Korea’s top stars. Will Shim Eun-kyung survive the energetic Tokyo tour? The answer awaits on MBC’s ‘Hang Out With Yoo’, airing May 24 at 6:30 PM KST.
