The ‘nation’s MC’
Yoo Jae Suk has once again experienced a mental breakdown upon hearing idol members’ demands for lavish gifts.
The July 22nd broadcast of
SBS‘s ‘
Running Man‘
aired a 2012 Olympic special and consisted of idol members competing
against the fixed cast members in various games of athletics.
Towards the end of the ‘hide-and-seek’ race,
HaHa put Yoo Jae Suk on the spot as he remarked, “
[Jae Suk hyung] is really good at buying things for people,” and joked, “
He bought IU a car.” On a previous episode of ‘Running Man’, Yoo Jae Suk was put under a sticky situation of possibly having to buy IU a brand new car as a late birthday present.
Upon hearing HaHa’s joke, the idol members were surprised and asked
if it was true. Taken aback, Yoo Jae Suk immediately tried to explain
himself by saying, “
I didn’t buy her…” but was unable to finish his sentence, as it was already too late.
CNBLUE‘s
Jung Yonghwa put in his request to the MC saying, “
We’ll be moving to our new dorm soon, so could you buy us a new refrigerator?” Following his lead,
MBLAQ‘s
Lee Joon also pitched in, “
I live with my parents, but there hasn’t been any air conditioning in our house for the past 10 years.
Please buy us an air conditioning system.”
ZE:A‘s
Lim Siwan added to the list, “
Our dorm is too small for all of us to live in…” and to this, the Running Man members added, “
Oh so you need a house.” And unable to miss this golden opportunity,
T-ara‘s
Eunjung remarked, “
I have been feeling exhausted lately. I think I need a massage chair.”
In the end, Yoo Jae Suk faced
Lee Kwang Soo and desperately asked, “
Please lend me 200 million won (~$175,000 USD),” causing everyone to burst into laughter.
