Shin Dong-yeop on 'My Little Old Boy' Departure Rumors: 'Drinking and Talking is the Best'

Broadcaster Shin Dong-yeop has openly shared his thoughts on the recent controversy surrounding departures from the SBS variety show 'My Little Old Boy' (Mi-woori Saekki).

In a YouTube channel episode of 'Zzanhanhyung Shin Dong-yeop' released on the 10th, comedians Kim Won-hoon and singers Car, the Garden and Baek Hyun-jin appeared as guests, engaging in various conversations.

During the broadcast, Kim Won-hoon asked Shin Dong-yeop which program he would choose if he could only pick one from SNL, 'My Little Old Boy', 'Animal Farm', or 'Zzanhanhyung'. Without hesitation, Shin Dong-yeop chose 'Zzanhanhyung'.

He explained his choice, stating, 'On 'Zzanhanhyung', I can do everything I love. I can drink, meet good people, eat delicious food, and have conversations.'

Referencing 'My Little Old Boy', Shin Dong-yeop added with a laugh, 'In 'My Little Old Boy', the 'ugly ducklings' keep getting married, which makes things difficult. But with animals, they always do well. Animals truly excel.'

Recently, 'My Little Old Boy' has seen a string of marriage announcements from its cast members, including Kim Jong-kook, Kim Jong-min, Kim Joon-ho, and Lee Sang-min. This has led to discussions about whether the show's concept is still fitting, with some questioning if certain members should leave the program.

Netizens are reacting positively to Shin Dong-yeop's candid remarks, with comments like 'Shin Dong-yeop is honest, I like it,' and 'The 'Zzanhanhyung' concept suits him perfectly.' There are also many humorous suggestions online about who might be next to get married and potentially leave the show.
