Netizens Are Ecstatic To See A Famous Korean Actor On His First-Ever Variety Show — 25 Years After His Debut
After 25 years since his debut, actor Yoo Seung Ho is making his first appearance on a variety show.
Yoo Seung Ho debuted in 1999 with a cellphone commercial when he was nine years old. Three years later, he was cast in the movie The Way Home in 2002 as Sang Woo, a boy from the city who bonds with his grandma from the countryside. The Way Home gained a lot of popularity, and Yoo Seung Ho rose to fame as an actor.
He continued acting throughout his teenage years, working in productions such as Master of Study (2010) and Operation Proposal (2012).
Even as an adult, Yoo Seung Ho continued to impress audiences with his acting in films and K-Dramas, such as lm The Magician (2015), Seondal: The Man Who Sells the River (2016), Memorist (2020), and Moonshine (2021).
In March last year, it was reported that Lee Seung Ho signed with YG Entertainment.
Although Yoo Seung Ho is a beloved actor in Korea who had fans since he was a child actor, he has never appeared on a variety show. Therefore, when it was announced that he would be a guest on the long-running SBS variety show Running Man, netizens were ecstatic.
On September 24, Running Man released a teaser video for the episode scheduled to air on October 1. Netizens were immediately excited to see Yoo Seung Ho in the teaser alongside fellow actors Yoo Su Bin and Kim Dong Hwi to promote their K-Drama The Perfect Deal.
In the teaser video, the Running Man members were pleasantly surprised to find out that it was Yoo Seung Ho’s first-ever variety show appearance in his 24-year-long career. When host and comedian Yoo Jae Suk asked him if it was his first variety show appearance, Yoo Seung Ho made everyone laugh by embarrassingly answering, “There are too many cameras…”
His shyness didn’t last long, as Yoo Seung Ho was seen showcasing his quirky and comedic variety show skills in the rest of the teaser.
