It’s amazing how it aligns with 20 years!"

Yoo Jae-suk continues to thrive, having successfully launched his new show, Tteum Mannam (틈만나면), in April of last year, following the success of Running Man. Both seasons of Tteum Mannam have ranked first in viewership ratings for the 2049 demographic during their time slots, further solidifying his status as a leading figure in the entertainment industry.
