Yoo Jae-suk Faces 'Dictatorship' Controversy on 'How Do You Play?' Amidst Teasing from Lee Juck and Lee Yong-jin

Nation's MC Yoo Jae-suk found himself in a humorous 'dictatorship' controversy on the MBC entertainment program 'How Do You Play?'.

During the broadcast on the evening of the 6th, Yoo Jae-suk and Joo Woo-jae met with guests to finalize song selections for the upcoming '80s Seoul Music Festival.' The guests included Lee Juck, Ha Dong-kyun, Lee Yong-jin, and Jung Sung-hwa.

As the participants gathered to discuss song choices, Yoo Jae-suk's enthusiastic reactions to his preferred dance tracks led Lee Yong-jin to playfully question if a comedian should be controlling the festival's music selections. Yoo Jae-suk, flustered by the term 'control,' quickly clarified his intention was to foster a free environment within a set framework. Lee Juck further teased him by insisting, "You are controlling it."

Yoo Jae-suk then revealed the grand prize for the festival would be 1 million won, noting its significant value in the 1980s, comparable to a car, and humorously observed Ha Dong-kyun's reaction to the prize money, likening it to a participant in 'Squid Game.'
