Yoo Jae-suk’s Hilarious Slip-Up Sparks Laughter on MBC Variety Show
On the upcoming April 26th broadcast of MBC’s popular variety show, beloved MC Yoo Jae-suk finds himself in one of the most embarrassing moments of his career. During a segment involving street sales under the fictional company “Good Deed Inc.,” Yoo, acting as department lead, approaches a young couple with unexpected familiarity.
While attempting to sell surplus stationery to kind strangers, Yoo greets a man and woman on the street. In a tone of friendliness and innocence, he asks, “Is that your son?”—a comment that instantly causes confusion and laughter, as the woman quickly clarifies, “He’s my boyfriend.”
Flustered by the mix-up, Yoo begins to stammer apologies, digging himself further into a comedic hole while trying to explain the situation. Cast and bystanders alike burst into laughter as the variety legend is left reeling from his public blunder. He’s even forced to retreat beside a tree in mock self-exile, dramatically reflecting on his mistake.
Fellow cast member Im Woo-il suggests Yoo should clock out early, given the day’s mounting embarrassment. Yet, despite the awkward moment, Yoo presses on with the task at hand—attempting to boost morale and keep selling items, proving once again why he remains one of Korea’s most enduring entertainers.
This epically awkward encounter, paired with the couple’s lighthearted reaction, promises to deliver prime comedy in this week’s broadcast. Viewers can catch all the humorous chaos on MBC this Saturday at 6:30 PM (KST).
