Yoo Jae Suk has once again demonstrated his thoughtful character by prioritizing the production crew during filming. On Jan. 30, 2026 KST, a new video from the series 'Poong Hyang Go 2', titled 'A gathering of Ps who must do an open run when the sun rises', was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'DdeunDdeun'.

The episode followed the members traveling in Vienna, Austria, during the busy Christmas season. Following the program's concept of traveling without prior reservations or apps, the group struggled to find a vacancy and eventually stayed at the accommodation originally secured by the production team for themselves. During breakfast the next morning, Yoo Jae Suk expressed his gratitude to the staff who had yielded their rooms, saying, "Everyone, please eat plenty. I was able to sleep well thanks to you," and added, "I will cover the costs for the rooms."


Upon discovering soybean paste soup at the buffet, Yoo Jae Suk personally checked on the staff's meals again. When they responded that the food was delicious, he remarked, "You are all precious children of your own families, so please eat as much as you like." Ji Suk Jin chimed in, saying, "Back at their homes, they are the pride and joy of their families," to which Yoo Jae Suk once again emphasized, "They are truly precious children," creating a warm atmosphere on set.

These remarks have drawn significant attention as they come at a time when 'Gapjil' (power abuse) controversies have resurfaced across the entertainment industry. The genuine respect shown by Yoo Jae Suk toward the staff, acknowledging their sacrifice in a difficult travel situation, is being widely praised.
