[ASKKPOP] Yoo Byung Jae revels in his newfound celebrity status after joining YG Entertainment

On the latest episode of 'Happy Together,' the cast poked fun at writer and comedianYoo Byung Jaea little too enthusiastically now that he was a 'real celebrity' after joining YG Entertainment.


Yoo Jae Suk wisecracked, "Are you thoroughly playing the part of celebrity now?" to which Yoo Byung Jae half-seriously half-jokingly answered, "Not at all. [At YG] I don't want to appear that way; I plan to continue content planning as I always did. YG really called me out of the blue. I've always been a YG stan. I'm an old fan, and my manager hyung and I have liked them since we were young. In the car, we would always say Big Bang songs are really awesome and I even parodied 'Loser'; that's when I got the suggestion to [join YG]. I was so excited."

Kim Shin Youngalso put in, "There was an article that you've lost your B-list celeb status," which Yoo Byung Jae admitted by saying, "It's true. I think it's nonsense that I'm poor."


The comedian chattered about the 'perks' that came with joining YG, remarking, "The ride I was provided with isAkdong Musician's car. They never told me but it's the car that Akdong Musician rode during the festival. I couldn't remove their sticker. I haven't yet gone to the 50 pyong (1,779 sq ft) apartment. It's not like they bought it [specifically] for me," showing gratitude to Papa YG for the comfy living space.
