Broadcaster Yoo Jae Suk heartwarming story has been shared once again, adding to his warm image.
Recently, a video titled “A celebrity heartwarming story mixed with some criticism” was uploaded on YouTube. The video features broadcasting industry insiders sharing various firsthand stories about celebrities they have encountered.
Among them, one insider drew attention by sharing a heartwarming story related to Yoo Jae Suk.
A, who revealed she once worked as a writer for JTBC’s Sugar Man, said, “I remember one thing vividly. I was truly impressed. When I worked on Sugar Man, ordinary people came to attend the shows as audience members, and one of my friends came. Their life bucket list was to see Yoo Jae Suk.”
She continued, “At that time, Yoo Jae Suk oppa memorized the staff members’ names. When does he do that? At the first company dinner. He memorizes everyone’s names, including the youngest staff member.” She added, “For unique names, he teased them, saying, ‘Why is your name this?’ while joking around.”
A also said, “I went to Yoo Jae Suk oppa and asked if he could take a photo with my friend, and he gladly agreed. As soon as he realized my friend was with me, he called out, ‘Writer 1,’ very familiarly. That was intentionally warm and friendly.”
She further explained, “Usually, he doesn’t use informal speech like ‘Hey, XX.’ If he’s close to someone or knows them, he raises their status respectfully.”
In response, industry insiders expressed admiration, saying, “As expected of him,” “Yoo Jae Suk is truly different,” and “This is touching.”
A added, “He was probably the first MC to memorize my name. Usually, MCs only know the main staff. They don’t just do one program. From their perspective, there are hundreds of staff members,” emphasizing Yoo Jae Suk’s meticulous consideration once again.
