During the episode, the MCs discussed how they�wanted to have Yoo Jae Suk's fate the most. The 'Inside Story Salon' MCs�said variations of, "There's no bad story about Yoo Jae Suk," and,�"I think it would be hard to live like Yoo Jae Suk."�


Jang Dong Min then spoke up earnestly, saying, "This is a story that I wasn't going to tell on broadcast but this is the first time I will tell it." He proceeded to talk about a time in the past when he thought lowly of himself and how Yoo Jae Suk helped him through it.


He said, "While drinking by myself, I contacted Yoo Jae Suk. We had a relationship where we never contacted each other. But because he was called 'Nation's MC,' I wanted to tell him my story." He continued, "I contacted him saying I wanted to see him and Yoo Jae Suk came out late at night to hear my story."�


In the clip above, Jang Dong Min says, "He didn't say one word and listened to everything I said before responding, 'Yeah, because I'm not in your situation I can't say I understand. How can I boldly say I understand you.'" Jang Dong Min continues,�"He's different from other people. And so I said, 'I will work hard to live."


Jang Dong Min shares that afterwards, Yoo Jae Suk held an umbrella over him during the rainy night, walked him to a main road,�got him a cab,�and gave him all the money he had in his wallet. When Jang Dong Min tried to refuse, Yoo Jae Suk said, "Pay for the taxi fare and then give your mother the remaining money as an allowance." At that point, Jang Dong Min felt he forged a bond with Yoo Jae Suk.


Afterwards, the two apparently never really contacted each other again, and although the two became MCs for KBS 2TV's 'I am a Man,'Jang Dong Min explains that in order to avoid misunderstandings that he's riding on Yoo Jae Suk's fame, he tries to avoid mentioning Yoo Jae Suk to the best of his abilities to be considerate towards Yoo Jae Suk.


Jang Dong Min then says,�"Later when the person named Yoo Jae Suk says he will be retiring from broadcast, I was going to tell this story then." He then says, "I really want to say to that person named Yoo Jae Suk...," yet is unable to complete his sentence when he tears up, probably grateful for his sunbae MC who listened to him during his rough patch.
