At the production conference of his self-produced Mnet show, 'Yoo Se Yoon's Art Video', comedian Yoo Se Yoon revealed his plans for retirement from the entertainment industry.

Reporters asked about his position between a celebrity and a movie director, to which he replied, "Personally, I don't feel that being a celebrity is the right fit for me. I know that I should put that side of me away while focusing on this, but I recently renewed my contract with my agency so I have three years of it left. After three years, I don't want to pursue being a celebrity anymore."

He continued, "It's been hard for me because you have to talk so much as a celebrity. Directing is something I enjoy because it gives you room to think. The depressive feelings I've had have become better by working through 'Art Video'."

Netizens were surprised by his statement, commenting back, "I'm too shocked by this", and "I hope that he'll cancel his retirement plans."

'Yoo Se Yoon's Art Video' will air on June 5th at 11 p.m. KST.
