Yoo Jae-suk to Lead This Week's Filming Solo

Two weeks of footage have already been completed. The show noted that this week's scheduled recording cannot be canceled due to commitments made to invited guests. As a result, Yoo Jae-suk will host the episode on his own.

Jo Se-ho recently became embroiled in allegations linking him to an organized crime figure. Although he stated that the claims are entirely false, he voluntarily exited the variety programs he regularly appeared in to avoid causing burden or concern for production teams and viewers. This includes 1 Night 2 Days on KBS-2TV.

Legal action is underway as well. His agency reaffirmed plans to pursue swift and firm measures against the original rumor spreaders to restore his reputation.
