Known as the 'Nation's MC,' Yoo Jae-suk (유재석) has maintained an impeccable image throughout his career. He not only mentors juniors and seniors in the entertainment industry but also frequently shares updates about his family on variety shows, often sparking laughter with his everyday anecdotes. Recently, Yoo Jae-suk revealed details of his married life, confessing that his wife, Na Kyung-eun (나경은), scolds him daily. Even his close friend, Song Eun-yi (송은이), sided with Na Kyung-eun, quipping, "Kyung-eun really has it tough."
During the May 20 broadcast of tvN's variety show “Sixth Sense: B-Side,” Yoo Jae-suk and the regular cast members visited a rice specialty restaurant run by a “rice sommelier.” Their conversation during the meal naturally turned to family life, unexpectedly revealing several amusing anecdotes about their marriages.
At one point, Yoo Jae-suk observed his friend Song Eun-yi skillfully deboning a mackerel and couldn't help but praise her, saying, "Eun-yi is really good at deboning mackerel." He then revealed his fondness for such restaurants, stating, "These kinds of restaurants really suit my taste. I love not having to do anything myself."
Upon hearing this, Song Eun-yi immediately retorted, "Of course! How could I not know that?" Yoo Jae-suk then confessed, "I just like to keep talking, which is why Kyung-eun scolds me every day." His remark sent the set into laughter, and Song Eun-yi didn't hesitate to add, "Kyung-eun really has it tough," directly highlighting Yoo Jae-suk's behavior at home.
Lee Ji-hye (이지혜), who was also present, revealed that she is good friends with Na Kyung-eun's mother, making her quite familiar with Na Kyung-eun's family life.
Song Eun-yi then curiously asked Lee Ji-hye, "Do you usually talk to her about any troubles with her husband?" However, Lee Ji-hye stated that instead of complaining, she actually admired Na Kyung-eun's husband, praising him: "Rather than troubles, there are many things I admire about her husband because he is really good at taking care of the children."
Song Eun-yi immediately followed up, "Yoo Jae-suk?" Unexpectedly, Lee Ji-hye quickly corrected her, "No, I meant Ms. Na Kyung-eun!" She went on to highly praise Na Kyung-eun, saying, "Kyung-eun really raises her children well, and I've received a lot of help from her too."
Ultimately, what started as a playful joke on the show unexpectedly led to Na Kyung-eun receiving strong praise from her friends. Yoo Jae-suk married former announcer Na Kyung-eun in 2008, and they have one son and one daughter. The couple rarely discusses their family life publicly, so Yoo Jae-suk's rare confession about "being scolded daily by his wife" brought much amusement to viewers.
