Comedian/MC Yoo Jae Suk is undoubtedly a respected public figure in Korea.

His fame and status doesn't seem to be waning any time soon either, according to a survey conducted by the National Defense Promotion Committee this past March.

In the survey, which asked 265 army soldiers to choose 'A Celebrity You Want to Have as a Mentor', Yoo Jae Suk received 42.3% of the total votes from a total of 112 soldiers, claiming the #1 spot with ease. In 2nd place came MC Kim Gu Ra, while various others also selected Park Myung Soo, Shin Dong Yup, and Kim Jae Dong from 3rd to 5th place.

Would you want Yoo Jae Suk as a life mentor?

YJS is not surprising to get first, what's surprising is the person who got second and third, Kim Gura and Park Myung Soo, it seems that despite their "bad boy" image of being very frank and sharp tongue in their comments, people do think they have some good life experiences to share as a mentor. Personally I would have picked Shin Dong Yup as my second choice after YJS.

It really helps being associated with YJS. PMS of course is good at heart but his combi with YJS really softened people's hearts towards him and he's recently become even more warm. Kim Gura, on SBDD, gets a lot of benefit from being on the same show as YJS. Not only do people watch the show ( a lot of people, if not everyone and at least certainly in the beginning ) for YJS' presence, but it also gives Kim Gura a platform to show his softer side, along with the fact that he's now sort of become associated with YJS, which is always a good thing. Having said that, I don't like Kim Gura. I do like PMS, YJS, and I'd also choose Shin Dong Yup as my second, I think he'd be smart and frank.

Seems like overseas people don't like Kim Gura & Park Myung Soo, but they're considered top MCs in Korea, alongside YJS. Both of them already received Daesangs (Greatest prize in Korea's Entertainment Industry) and Koreans love PMS's sense of humor. They're in top list as well (love PMS) ^^
