Broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk clarified the circumstances surrounding his first same-day recording cancellation since his debut.
On the 13th, the production team of the SBS variety show 'If There's a Gap,' released a teaser for the next episode featuring actors Shin Seung-ho and Chae Soobin. The teaser included footage of Yoo Jae-suk explaining why he had canceled filming due to poor physical condition.
Previously, on the 22nd of last month, Yoo Jae-suk had canceled a recording for 'If There's a Gap,' on the day itself due to a cold and flu-like symptoms. This was the first time such an incident had occurred since his debut in 1991.
Regarding this, Yoo Jae-suk's agency, Antenna, explained, "Yoo Jae-suk was forced to cancel the recording due to temporary high fever caused by a cold and flu-like symptoms."
Yoo Jae-suk himself addressed the matter, stating, "The articles were saying things like 'collapsed after 36 years,'" and added, "No, it was just a sore throat."
He continued, "My throat was so swollen that I wondered if it was COVID-19. If it were COVID-19, we shouldn't have met, right?" He said, "After getting an injection, my throat swelling went down, and I asked if we could re-record, but the production team told me they had already left."
Yoo Jae-suk then expressed his apologies to guests Shin Seung-ho and Chae Soobin, who were set to re-shoot with him, saying, "Thank you for taking out your precious time again."
Netizens who viewed the video responded with comments such as, "I'm glad he is healthy" and "Health comes first."
