[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] Yook Sungjae appeared on 'My Ugly Duckling,' captivating the panelists with his fluent wit.

On the episode aired on the afternoon of the 8th, Yook Sungjae of BTOB, who released his first solo album after 8 years since debut, showcased his variety skills to the fullest.

When Yook Sungjae stood up to greet, Shin Dongyeop laughed, saying, "This is the first time I've seen someone stand up so quickly and introduce themselves." The panelists then surrounded Yook Sungjae with comments like "So pretty," "Kind," and "So cute." Seo Janghoon also sided with Yook Sungjae, saying, "Because he's an idol."

Yook Sungjae explained, "When we were active as a team, we always included a team greeting during self-introductions," adding, "Our team is BTOB, which stands for 'Born To Beat,' meaning we were born for the beat." Shin Dongyeop, quietly listening to Yook Sungjae's explanation, joked, "These days, young people call this 'Anmulangung'..." which made everyone laugh.

In response, the mother panelists said, "We were curious," continuing to support Yook Sungjae, who showed relief, saying, "Having mothers here really eases my tension."

Seo Janghoon said, "Yook Sungjae is so handsome, but his nickname is 'Yukjalddo,'" and asked the mother panelists if they knew what it meant. The mothers offered guesses like "Doesn't it mean he knows everything?" and "He's handsome and even more handsome," before correctly answering "handsome crazy guy," surprising Shin Dongyeop and Yook Sungjae.

Regarding 'Yukjalddo,' Yook Sungjae revealed, "It's a nickname fans gave me because I often act a bit quirky." Hearing this, Seo Janghoon asked the mother panelists, "Have you ever thought your son might be a little crazy?" Park Suhong's mother replied, "Yes. I wish Suhong wouldn't become a singer," causing the panelists to burst into laughter.

Additionally, Kim Jongkook's mother said, "Our Jongkook is at the stage where he struggles to lift heavy weights but says 'good, good,'" and especially Shin Dongyeop, looking at Heechul's mother, said, "Even without saying much about Heechul, we all know well," delivering a blunt truth that made everyone laugh.
