Quotes

“I shouldn’t doubt the path I’m on.” 

“In 2015, I started naturally without knowing anything. To be honest, back then, I had a lot of confidence and certainty that I’d do well, no matter what I did. However, once I officially began my acting experience, I realized that I was someone who was lacking a lot.”

“No matter how much I worry, there are problems that won’t be solved, and things that don’t change no matter how much I try. That’s why if you’re happy, you accept that and live happily, and when you’re sad, you accept that and live sadly. That’s how you can cool your mind.”

“But with acting, I have to create the script’s narrative through my unique acting. A profession where I have to meticulously create through each and every action and tone fits my personality well. I believe that through acting, I feel the pain of creation that composers and lyricists feel. That pain is enjoyable.”

Yook Sung Jae is dubbed the King of Variety Shows by many critics and it is all true because he has all the interesting qualities and talents of a veteran entertainer.
