South Korea's top MC Yoo Jae-suk felt a sense of nostalgia as he visited Bongcheon-dong, a place filled with memories of his youthful and impoverished 'slacker days.' The streets he once walked due to lack of fare, he now walks again as the 'National MC' who pays over 4 billion won in annual taxes.
On the afternoon of the 27th, SBS entertainment program 'Whenever Possible,' will feature MC Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok visiting Bongcheon-dong in Gwanak-gu, Seoul with guests Lee Sun-bin and Kim Young-dae.
◆ "Back then, I had no fare..." Memories of Bongcheon-dong
On this day, Yoo Jae-suk was filled with special emotions at the entrance of the Bongcheon-dong alley. He opened up by saying, "Before I became a star, I spent a lot of time here during my so-called 'slacker' days." He particularly recalled his financially struggling unknown days, confessing, "At that time, transportation fare was a burden, so I often walked aimlessly to my destination." His honest sharing of a page from his hungry and fierce youth, hidden behind his current glamorous fame, left those around him in silence.
◆ The Young Man Who Walked Becomes a 'Walking Company'
Yoo Jae-suk's past resonates even more when contrasted with his current position. According to data from the Korea Taxpayers Alliance, Yoo Jae-suk is reported to have paid a whopping 4.18 billion won in income tax for the year 2023 alone. This indicates that he earned at least 10 billion won in a year, proving that he is a bona fide 'top-tier' broadcaster. The transformation from a young man who walked due to lack of fare to a model taxpayer diligently paying tens of billions of won in taxes is expected to deeply move viewers.
Meanwhile, the delightful chemistry between Yoo Jae-suk and Yoo Yeon-seok, along with the fun of exploring local culture in 'Whenever Possible,' is set to bring warm laughter through their meeting with local creators in Bongcheon-dong this week.
