Super Junior’s Leeteuk Scrutinize Korea’s Top MCs Yoo Jae Suk, Kang Ho Dong & Shin Dong Yap
Super Junior's Leeteuk showed off his wits when he scrutinized the contrasts among South Korea's top 3 MCs Yoo Jae Suk, Kang Ho Dong and Shin Dong Yup. The 33-year-old boy band leader based his observation both from a book and from his own personal experience of having worked with all three on variety shows. The SM artist also cracked everyone up with his hilarious description of each person's onscreen traits. "Kang Ho Dong likes to shout. He told me to shout with him for ten years," allkpop quoted Leeteuk as saying Thursday on KBS' "Happy Together."
He worked with the 46-year-old comedian-host and formerly one of the country's top traditional wrestler on SBS' "Star King" in 2011-2012 and 2015-2016. The comedian's name made headlines in December last year when the "Running Man" controversy broke out. The show's producers reportedly invited Kang Ho Dong to join "Running Man Season 2" and reunite with his former "X-Men" co-host Yoo Jae Suk. The comedian, however, bailed out from the offer amid the casting controversy and "Running Man" continued with its usual format.
Leeteuk scrutinized and followed the book's description of Shin Dong Yup and called him "the dedicated genius" because of his ability to attract a crowd. The 46-year-old entertainer shot to fame on SBS' "Happy Saturday" and MBC's "Three Men Three Women." They both worked together as MCs for tvN's "50 Million Great Questions" and are known to be close friends.
Finally, Leeteuk scrutinized Yoo Jae Suk, who's co-hosting "Happy Together." He revealed that the book described the "Nation's MC" as "talking constantly while showing respect." Leeteuk, who's hosted a number of variety shows since 2005 and preparing for a Super Junior comeback this year, has repeatedly been recognized as the next "Nation's MC."
The 44-year-old "Nation's MC" has proven his mettle not just with the number of Daesang awards he's received over the years but also among his fellow comedians. "Comedy Big League" comedian Yang Se Hyung credited Yoo Jae Suk for his variety skills while comedian Kim Shin Young said he deserves his nickname of "Yooneunim" or god.
